Plain-English summary
Boston Scientific Corporation is recalling EndoVive 20 Fr Safety PEG Push with ENFit Kit (Box 2) feeding tubes. These medical devices are designed for enteral nutrition delivery directly into the stomach for patients (both pediatric and adult) who cannot consume food through conventional means.
The recall addresses a potential blockage in the barb connector lumen that may prevent the guidewire from advancing through the feeding tube during placement. This obstruction could extend the placement procedure and require the device to be exchanged.
If the blockage prevents proper placement and the device must be replaced, a cascade of complications may occur. These include the need for additional intervention to close the stomach puncture site, as well as potential complications such as bleeding, leakage of gastric contents, and aspiration.
The affected product is identified by UPN M00509191 with Lot Number 32234291 (GTIN: 08714729880691). The device has been distributed worldwide including US nationwide and Japan. Patients and healthcare providers with questions should contact Boston Scientific.
