Plain-English summary

Xeridiem Mediem Medical Devices Inc is recalling 39 units of the EndoVive 3s Low Profile Balloon Kits, Part Number M00548510 (XMD P/N 70-0050-216), Lot Number 928914. The recall is due to a feeding (reflux) valve leakage issue where the valve may close inconsistently or with a delay when an extension set is disconnected. This defect allows feeding solution or gastric contents to leak out of the device in some instances.

The affected devices are intended to provide gastric access through a gastrointestinal stoma tract for enteral feeding, medication administration, and gastric decompression in adult and pediatric patients. The recall covers units distributed nationwide to Massachusetts only.

Patients and caregivers should stop using the affected balloon kits and contact their healthcare provider or the manufacturer for instructions on replacement or repair.
