About this trial
The purpose of this research study is to test a new device called the PUMA-G Pediatric System. The research will measure if the device works well to safely aid doctors placing gastrostomy feeding tubes in children. The PUMA-G Pediatric System is an investigational device that uses ultrasound and magnets to guide insertion of a feeding tube.
