Plain-English summary

Xeridiem Mediem Medical Devices Inc is recalling 326 units of the EndoVive 3s Low Profile Balloon Kits.

The recall is classified as Class II by the FDA.

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

The devices were distributed nationwide to Massachusetts only. 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 in adult and pediatric patients.
