Plain-English summary

Reshape Medical Inc. is recalling 56 units of the ReShape Integrated Dual Balloon System, Gen 1 (Catalog No. RSM110, Model No. 01-0013-001). The device is indicated for weight reduction in obese patients with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 to 40 kg/m2 who have failed weight reduction with diet and exercise alone.

The recall is due to a suspected misalignment of the connection between the proximal balloon cap of the implant and the delivery catheter. This possible misalignment is the result of an assembly error during manufacturing and may lead to leakage of saline solution during the balloon inflation procedure.

The affected units were distributed to the states of New York, Ohio, and California. The specific lot codes associated with this recall are 160317-001, 160371-002, 160317-003, and 160324-010.
