Burlington Medical recalls Frontal Support Belt Aprons (Product F-15) due to potential inadequate radiation protection, increasing cancer and infertility risks. Affected units sold between 2018-2020.
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 Support Belt Aprons (Product F-15) because they may not provide sufficient radiation protection during medical procedures. This could expose users to scatter radiation, potentially increasing cancer and infertility risks over time.
The aprons use protective material that may not shield users adequately from scatter radiation during medical imaging. This radiation exposure could increase long-term risks like cancer or infertility if the apron fails to block radiation properly.
Healthcare workers using these aprons during fluoroscopy or radiography procedures are most at risk. The recall affects specific model numbers sold between 2018 and 2020.
Check for Product Number F-15 and Part Numbers REF15*F, REF15*M, REF15B, or REF15XLM. These aprons were sold between 2018 and 2020 with serial numbers including 418940, 444702, 387785, 442470, 443381, and 381937.
