Burlington Medical recalls frontal aprons with quick drop velcro closure due to potential inadequate radiation protection, increasing cancer and infertility risks from scatter radiation exposure during medical procedures.
The protective material used in the manufacture of the products could potentially provide inadequate protection for the product user. Use of the products could expose the user to scatter radiation of varying degrees depending on many different variables (e.g., distance, shielding, position, time, kV, etc.). Long-term exposure to scatter radiation may increase the risk of cancer, infertility, or other health-related conditions.
Burlington Medical is recalling frontal aprons with quick drop velcro closure (Product Number 401) because they may not provide enough radiation protection. This could expose healthcare workers to scatter radiation during medical procedures, potentially increasing cancer and infertility risks over time.
The aprons may not shield users adequately from scatter radiation produced during medical imaging. This radiation exposure could increase long-term risks like cancer or infertility if the apron fails to protect properly.
Healthcare workers using these aprons during fluoroscopy or radiography procedures are most at risk. The recall affects specific models sold with serial number 418937.
Check for Product Number 401 with Part Numbers RE401*M. The recall includes a specific serial number 418937, but the record does not specify other serial numbers or model variations.
