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 with a functional defect that poses a risk of harm (leakage of gastric contents) but does not report specific injuries or fatalities, fitting the criteria for a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Xeridiem Mediem Medical Devices Inc. is recalling 34 units of the EndoVive 3s Low Profile Balloon Kits, Part Number M00549530 (XMD P/N 70-0050-924). The recall is associated with Lot Number 930841 and Part Number M00549390 (XMD P/N 70-0050-922). The devices were distributed nationwide to Massachusetts only.

The recall is being conducted because of a feeding (reflux) valve leakage issue. The feeding valve may close inconsistently or in a delayed manner when an extension set is disconnected from the Low Profile Balloon device. This malfunction 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 use in 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. Consumers and healthcare providers should stop using the affected devices and contact the manufacturer for further instructions.
