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 with a functional defect that can lead to leakage of gastric contents or feeding solution. This is a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported, fitting the High severity criteria.

Plain-English summary

Xeridiem Mediem Medical Devices Inc is recalling 40 units of the EndoVive 3s Low Profile Balloon Kits, Part Number M00548820 (XMD P/N 70-0050-120), Lot Number 929724. The recall is limited to distribution in Massachusetts.

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

The EndoVive 3s Low Profile Balloon is intended to provide gastric access through a gastrointestinal stoma tract for enteral feeding, medication administration, and gastric decompression. It is indicated for adult and pediatric patients who require long-term feeding, are unable to tolerate oral feeding, are at low risk for aspiration, or require gastric decompression and/or medication delivery directly into the stomach. Patients using these devices should contact their healthcare provider for guidance.
