“Avanos Gastric-Jejunal Feeding Tube Kit Recall: Risk of Infection from Pre-Filled Syringe.” GovInfoNow, updated August 19, 2026. https://govinfonow.com/recall/56312-avanos-gastric-jejunal-feeding-tube-kit-recall-risk-of-infection. Based on FDA recall #Z-1186-2024 (https://api.fda.gov/device/enforcement.json?search=recall_number:%22Z-1186-2024%22&limit=1).

Why it’s dangerous

The kits include a sterile pre-filled syringe that was recalled by Nurse Assist. This means the syringe could be contaminated or improperly handled, potentially leading to infection if the tube is used after the recall.

Who’s affected

Patients using home feeding tubes and caregivers who have the specific product codes listed in the recall notice. Those most at risk are individuals with medical conditions requiring feeding tube access.

How to tell if you have this one

Check for product codes 8250-16 through 8260-22 and batch numbers listed in the recall notice. The kits are for endoscopic or surgical placement of feeding tubes.
