Burlington Medical recalls certain sleeves due to potential inadequate radiation protection, increasing cancer and infertility risks from scatter radiation 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 medical sleeves that may not provide sufficient radiation protection. This could expose users to scatter radiation during procedures, potentially increasing cancer or infertility risks with long-term exposure.
The protective material in these sleeves might not shield users from scatter radiation effectively. This radiation exposure during medical procedures could lead to increased cancer risk or infertility over time, depending on factors like distance and procedure duration.

Check for product model numbers RESL, SL 3 L, SL 3 M, SL 3 S, L 3 X, SL 3 XS, or UESL. The affected sleeves have specific serial numbers listed in the recall notice.
