Product description
EndoVive 3s Low Profile Balloon Kits Part Number: M00548870 (XMD P/N 70-0050-620) The EndoVive 3s Low Profile Balloon is intended to provide gastric access through a gastrointestinal stoma tract for enteral feeding, medication administration and gastric decompression. The EndoVive 3s Low Profile Balloon is indicated for use in adult and pediatric patients who require long-term feeding, are unable to tolerate oral feeding, are at low risk for aspiration or require gastric decompression and/or medication delivery directly into the stomach.
Reason for recall
A feeding (reflux) valve leakage issue. The feeding valve appears to close inconsistently, or close in a delayed manner, when an extension set is disconnected from the Low Profile Balloon device, thus allowing feeding solution or gastric contents to leak out of the device in some instances.
