Burlington Medical recalls front/back aprons with stretch 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 front/back aprons with stretch velcro closure (product numbers EURO) because the protective material may not shield users from scatter radiation during medical procedures. This could increase long-term risks of cancer, infertility, or other health issues from radiation exposure.
These aprons may not provide sufficient radiation shielding during medical imaging procedures. Scatter radiation from X-rays can expose users to varying levels of radiation depending on factors like distance, shielding, and procedure type. Long-term exposure might increase cancer risk or cause infertility.
Healthcare workers using these aprons during fluoroscopy or radiography procedures are most at risk. The recall affects specific models sold to medical facilities.
Check for product numbers EURO or part numbers ECSEEUROA, ECSEEUROB, ECSEEUROC, ECSEEUROXLM, REEURO*F, REEURO*M, REEUROC, REEUROE, SEEURO*F, SEEURO*M, UEEURO*F. The aprons have stretch velcro closures and were sold to healthcare facilities for use during fluoroscopy or radiography.
