Recent recalls

  • 2026-03-11Open, ClassifiedProcess control

    EndoVive Safety PEG Kit; Outer Box Material Number (UPN): M00509001; Inner Box Material Number (UPN): M00509000;

    Recall of kits which utilized ChloraPrep Triple Swabsticks from BD. Open or compromised seals on the sterile swabstick packaging, which could result in loss of sterility or drying of the antiseptic solution. This component is placed outside of the sterile barrier of the tray manufactured by Boston Scientific, which contains the majority of the kit components. As such, inclusion of the affected ChloraPrep Triple Swabsticks does not degrade the integrity of the other components within the PEG kit.

  • TerminatedDevice Design

    EndoVive 3s Low Profile Balloon Kits Part Number: M00548460 (XMD P/N 70-0050-D14) 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.

    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.
