Burlington Medical recalls Frontal Quick Drop OR Apron product line due to potential inadequate radiation protection, increasing cancer and infertility risks 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 Frontal Quick Drop and OR Apron products because their protective material might not shield users from scatter radiation during medical procedures. This could lead to higher cancer risk or infertility over time if the radiation exposure continues.
The protective material may not adequately block scatter radiation, which is radiation that can bounce off medical equipment and reach users. Long-term exposure to this radiation could increase cancer risk or cause infertility.
Healthcare workers using these aprons during fluoroscopy or radiography procedures are most at risk. Patients and others not directly involved in these procedures are less likely to be affected.
Check for product numbers 601 with part numbers ECRE601A, ECRE601B, ECRE601C, ECRE601XLM, RE601*M, RE601C, RE601D, RE601XXLM. These items were sold with specific serial numbers listed in the recall notice.
Review the product number and part numbers listed in the recall notice to confirm if your item is affected.
