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/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 205 units of the EndoVive 3s Low Profile Balloon Kits. The affected products are identified by Part Number M00548380 (XMD P/N 70-0050-514) and include Lot Numbers 911109, 915409, 915909, 920609, 928910, and 930840. 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 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 products were distributed nationwide to Massachusetts only. The source text does not report any specific illnesses or injuries associated with this defect. Consumers and healthcare providers should contact Xeridiem Mediem Medical Devices Inc for instructions on how to proceed with the recall.
