Xeridiem Mediem Medical Devices Inc. is recalling 40 EndoVive 3s Low Profile Balloon Kits because the feeding valve may close inconsistently, allowing fluid to leak.

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, illnesses, or fatalities, 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 40 units of the EndoVive 3s Low Profile Balloon Kits, Part Number M00549570 (XMD P/N 70-0050-D24), Lot Number 930831. The device is 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 is due to a feeding (reflux) valve leakage issue. The feeding valve appears to close 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 affected units were 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.
