Maquet recalls specific models of small 1/4 tubing sets for extracorporeal circulation due to potential sterility issues during sterilization. Affected units have batch numbers listed in the recall notice.
Custom Tubing Sets for Extracorporeal Circulation (ECC)-During sterilization, the closed stopcock/non-vented cap configuration may prevent the flow of humidity/ethylene oxide gas into the fluid-path between the closed port and the non-vented cap therefore the Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of the stopcock ports cannot be assured
Maquet is recalling certain small 1/4 tubing sets for extracorporeal circulation because they may not maintain sterility during sterilization. This could lead to infections if the equipment is used without proper sterility.
During sterilization, the tubing's closed stopcock design may trap humidity and ethylene oxide gas, preventing proper sterility assurance. This could lead to contamination if the equipment is used without adequate sterility.
Healthcare professionals using these tubing sets for extracorporeal circulation systems are most at risk. Patients receiving such treatments could be affected if the equipment is not properly sterilized.
