Burlington Medical recalls Kilt single-item radiation shields due to potential inadequate protection against scatter radiation, which may increase cancer risk with long-term exposure.
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 certain Kilt radiation shielding products because the protective material might not adequately shield users from scatter radiation during medical procedures. This could lead to increased cancer risk or other health issues with prolonged exposure.
The protective material in the Kilt products may not provide sufficient shielding against scatter radiation generated during medical imaging. Long-term exposure to this radiation could increase the risk of cancer, infertility, or other health problems.
Healthcare workers using the Kilt radiation shields during fluoroscopy or radiography procedures are most at risk. The recall applies to specific product models sold to medical facilities.
Check for product numbers including ECREKILTF, ECREKILTXLF, REKILTA, REKILTB, REKILTXLF, REKILTXLM, or serial numbers listed in the recall notice. The products are designed for use by healthcare workers during medical imaging procedures.
Identify the product number or serial number from the list provided in the recall notice to confirm if your item is affected.
The protective material in the Kilt products may not provide adequate shielding against scatter radiation during medical procedures, potentially increasing cancer risk with long-term exposure.
The recall does not specify a remedy, so check the product details to see if it is affected and contact Burlington Medical for further instructions.
Long-term exposure to scatter radiation from these products could increase the risk of cancer, infertility, or other health issues, but the risk is not immediate.
