FDA expands recall: HLS Set Advanced 7.0 sterility barrier compromise

Maquet Medical Systems USA has expanded a recall for HLS Set Advanced 7.0, a preconnected medical device used for heart and lung support, due to a potential breach in the sterility barrier that could compromise product sterility.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The hazard is a potential sterility barrier breach in a life-support medical device (Class II), which poses risk of patient harm through contamination. However, the source text does not report any illnesses, injuries, or hospitalizations, and the hazard is stated as potential rather than confirmed. Per the rubric, theoretical hazards without reported injury in high-risk-of-harm products warrant a score of 3.
