Plain-English summary

Xeridiem Mediem Medical Devices Inc is recalling 36 units of the EndoVive 3s Low Profile Balloon Kits, Part Number M00548400 (XMD P/N 70-0050-714), Lot Number 928912. The recall is limited to nationwide distribution 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 defect 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.
