Medline ENFit G-tube connector kits may leak from dimensional defect
Medline is recalling kits containing ENFit G-tube connectors because the connectors were not made to required dimensional specifications and may not form a proper seal.
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: Rubric level 3 covers risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported: an out-of-specification feeding connector may leak and lead to delayed care or infection, and no injuries are stated.
Plain-English summary
Medline Industries, LP is recalling Medline kits containing ENFit G-tube connectors, covering the G/J Tube Care Kit (SKU DYKM2720) and the ENFit Discharge Kit (SKU ENFITDISCKIT). About 9,040 kits were distributed nationwide in the United States and to Canada. The FDA has classified this recall as Class II.
The connectors were not manufactured to required dimensional specifications and may not form a proper seal with ENFit-style devices, which could lead to leakage. Leakage may result in delayed care and fluid loss. Additional consequences may occur if the user over-tightens the connector to stop the leakage, including additional clinical intervention, risk of infection, patient discomfort and a prolonged recovery process.
All lots are affected, carrying UDI-DI 10198459016257 and 10193489860078.
