Plain-English summary
Boston Scientific Corporation is recalling 2,726 units of the EndoVive 20Fr Push Safety PEG Kit w/ENFit (Box 2) due to a blockage in the barb connector that prevents proper advancement of the guidewire during placement. The product is a feeding tube kit indicated for enteral nutrition in pediatric and adult patients who cannot consume nutrition by conventional means.
The blockage in the barb connector's lumen can prevent the guidewire from advancing through the feeding tube during placement. When this occurs, the procedure time may be significantly prolonged, and the device may need to be exchanged for another unit.
When device exchange becomes necessary, patients may experience a cascade of serious complications including additional intervention to close the puncture site, internal bleeding, leakage of gastric contents, and aspiration.
The affected units were distributed worldwide, including throughout the United States and Japan. Patients or healthcare providers who have this device should contact Boston Scientific for instructions on how to proceed.
