Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Plain-English summary

Xeridiem Mediem Medical Devices Inc is recalling 115 units of the EndoVive 3s Low Profile Balloon Kits (Part Number M00548560, Lot Number 929626). The recall was initiated due to a leakage issue with the feeding (reflux) valve.

The defect involves the feeding valve closing inconsistently or in a delayed manner when an extension set is disconnected from the device. This malfunction allows feeding solution or gastric contents to leak out of the device in some instances. The product is intended to provide gastric access for enteral feeding, medication administration, and gastric decompression in adult and pediatric patients.

The affected units were distributed nationwide to Massachusetts only. Patients and caregivers using these devices should contact their healthcare provider or the manufacturer for instructions on how to proceed.
