Plain-English summary

Maquet Cardiovascular US Sales, LLC is recalling 54 units of the Maquet Cardiopulmonary (MCP)/Getinge HLS Set Advanced 7.0 (Model Number BEQ-HLS-7050 USA, Part Number 701052794). The recall involves Lot 70131093 and UDI 04037691741543. The affected products were distributed to hospitals and facilities in Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, North Carolina, Nebraska, New Mexico, Nevada, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Tennessee, and Wisconsin.

The recall was initiated because the sets are configured with quick connectors that have been assembled in reverse on the arterial and venous lines. This incorrect assembly results in blue (venous) to red (arterial) and red (arterial) to blue (venous) connections. Due to this error, the sets cannot be primed from the reservoir prior to use, and the device may not function as intended.

Healthcare facilities should stop using the affected sets and contact Maquet Cardiovascular US Sales, LLC for instructions on how to return the products or obtain replacements. This recall is classified as Class II by the FDA, indicating that use of the product could, in some cases, cause temporary or medically reversible health consequences.
