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 medical device defect that poses a risk of harm (leakage of gastric contents or feeding solution) but the source text does not report any specific injuries or illnesses, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Xeridiem Mediem Medical Devices Inc is recalling 91 units of the EndoVive 3s Low Profile Balloon Kits, Part Number M00548330 (XMD P/N 70-0050-014). The affected lots are 928905 and 930835. These devices are intended to provide gastric access for enteral feeding, medication administration, and gastric decompression in adult and pediatric patients.

The recall is due to a feeding (reflux) valve leakage issue. The feeding valve may close inconsistently or in a delayed manner when an extension set is disconnected from the device. This defect can allow feeding solution or gastric contents to leak out of the device in some instances.

The products were distributed nationwide to Massachusetts only. Consumers and healthcare providers should stop using the affected devices and contact the manufacturer for instructions on replacement or return.
