Reason for Recall
Packaging for some gastrostomy tubes was labeled with incorrect balloon inflation data. An underinflated balloon may cause misplacement, slippage or premature removal of the tube. If an underinflated balloon allows the tube to be placed, or slip into, the stomal tract and not the stomach, there is a risk of infusion of fluids into the peritoneum. This carries the risk of infection.
