Xeridiem EndoVive 3s Low Profile Balloon Kits Recalled for Valve Leakage

Xeridiem is recalling 243 EndoVive 3s Low Profile Balloon Kits because the feeding valve may close inconsistently, allowing fluid to leak.

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 is classified as FDA Class II, and the hazard involves a risk-of-harm product (leakage of gastric contents/feeding solution) where specific injury reports are not detailed in the source text, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.

Plain-English summary

Xeridiem Mediem Medical Devices Inc is recalling 243 units of the EndoVive 3s Low Profile Balloon Kits, Part Number M00548230 (XMD P/N 70-0050-212). The affected lots are 911103, 915403, 915903, 919002, 920603, 928903, and 930822. The product was distributed nationwide to Massachusetts only.

The recall is due to a feeding (reflux) valve leakage issue. The valve may close inconsistently or with a delay 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 and caregivers should contact their healthcare provider or the manufacturer for instructions on how to proceed.
