Recent testing found that the Vesco Q™ Enteral Feeding Pump is not consistently meeting its labeled accuracy claims of ±5%. This means the pump may either deliver enteral fluid faster or slower than the rate programmed which could lead to over-delivery or under-delivery of prescribed amount.

Over- or under-delivery of enteral nutrition through the Q Pump and associated feed sets could cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, with a remote probability of serious adverse health consequences. Supplemental instructions are available to mitigate the risk of over or under-delivery. As of September 30, 2026, Vesco Medical has received 3 reports of adverse health consequences related to this issue. No deaths have been reported.  See notification letter for additional details.

At this time, you or your consignee can continue to use the Q Pump only for patients without feed rate sensitivity under supplemental instructions. Patients with feed rate sensitivity are to stop using the Q Pump and seek an alternate pump from your supplier.  Consult your prescribing physician with any questions.

The Q Pump and Q Feeding Sets may be used for patients without feed rate sensitivity under supplemental instructions if the patient can be appropriately monitored. Patients with feed rate sensitivity are advised to stop using the Vesco Q™ Enteral Feeding Pump and seek a suitable alternate pump immediately. Patients are to consult their prescribing physician to if they are unsure if they are feed rate sensitive or if they have any other clinical questions.

Vesco can offer gravity feeding sets as a replacement if an alternative pump and set are not readily available. You or your consignee can continue to use the Q Pump for patients without feed rate sensitivity under supplemental instructions if the patient can be appropriately monitored. The pumps do not need to be returned at this time.

For patients who are not sensitive to feed rate, continued use may be appropriate if the treating physician determines that precise delivery rate is not clinically necessary and if the patient can be appropriately monitored. Limiting the volume in the feeding container to the amount intended for a single feeding period mitigates the risk of over-delivery. Confirming the feeding container is empty after feeding mitigates the risk of under-delivery. If the Q Pump continues to be used temporarily, follow these supplemental instructions:Pour only the prescribed volume for that feeding into the container. Do not add extra formula for later feedings.For priming purposes, add 15 ml to the prescribed feeding volume when filling the container to account for the priming volume required by the feed set.Only set feed rate, not total dose. When the container empties, the pump will trigger an Air in Line alarm; this is expected. When this alarm sounds, immediately disconnect the feed set from the patient before acknowledging the alarm on the pump.Confirm the pump has stopped once the container is empty.Use commercially prepared formulaDo not use the Bolus Feed Program during this recall period. The Bolus Feed mode delivers at a fixed rate of 600 ml/hr, which increases the potential impact for delivery inaccuracy.Ensure the bottom of the feeding container is positioned at least 6 inches (15 cm) above the top of the pump at all times during feeding. Deviations from this position may further affect delivery accuracy.Monitor the patient and feeding container throughout each feeding session, particularly for patients who cannot communicate discomfort (including pediatric subpopulations particularly infants and young children, patients with altered mental status, dementia, etc.). Report signs of feeding intolerance, such as vomiting, abdominal distension, or diarrhea, to the prescribing physician promptly.Note for Pediatric Patients (including infants >1 month of age): Infants and young children are at heightened risk from delivery inaccuracy. Unless the treating physician has specifically determined that continued use is safe for the individual pediatric patient, cessation of use and transition to an alternate pump is strongly recommended for this population. Caregivers of pediatric patients should contact the prescribing clinician before continuing use under the supplemental instructions.
