Burlington Medical recalls certain vests 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 specific radiation protection vests because the materials might not provide enough shielding. This could expose users to scatter radiation, potentially increasing cancer, infertility, or other health risks over time.
The vests may not shield users adequately from scatter radiation produced during medical imaging. Long-term exposure to this radiation could increase the risk of cancer, infertility, or other health issues depending on factors like distance, time, and equipment settings.
Healthcare workers using these vests during fluoroscopy or radiography procedures are most at risk. The recall applies to specific product models sold with serial numbers listed in the notice.
Check for product model numbers ECREVESTD, ECREVESTF, ECREVESTXLF, REVEST*M, REVESTB, REVESTC, or serial numbers listed in the recall notice. These vests are used by healthcare workers during fluoroscopy procedures.
Identify the product model number or serial number from the recall list to confirm if your vest is affected.
The protective material in these vests may not provide adequate shielding against scatter radiation, potentially increasing cancer, infertility, or other health risks with long-term exposure.
