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 recall involves a risk-of-harm product (medical device) where the failure could lead to improperly cleaned instruments, but no injuries or illnesses have been reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Maquet Cardiovascular US Sales, LLC is recalling four units of the Getinge 86-Series Medical Washer-Disinfector (Part Numbers S-8666 and S-8668). The recall is due to a possibility that the inlet pump hose might collapse during use.

If the hose collapses, it may result in low water pressure within the circulation system. In the worst-case scenario, this could result in the contents of the Washer-Disinfector not being cleaned properly after the finished process. The affected units are identified by serial numbers WAA088731, WAA089124, WAA089128, and WAA089586.

The recalled devices were distributed worldwide, including in the United States (GA, IL, IN, MI, NC, OR, PA, VA) and in foreign countries such as Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Japan, Korea, Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, and Ukraine. Healthcare facilities and laboratories using these devices for decontamination of reusable items such as instruments, utensils, anesthesia sets, and glassware should contact the recalling firm for instructions.
