Burlington Medical recalls Half Apron products due to potential inadequate radiation protection, increasing cancer and infertility risks. Affected units have specific serial numbers.
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 Half Apron products because the protective material might not shield users from scatter radiation during medical procedures. This could increase long-term risks like cancer or infertility if the apron is used without proper protection.
The apron's material may not provide sufficient radiation shielding, allowing scatter radiation to reach the user. This radiation exposure during medical imaging could increase long-term health risks such as cancer or infertility over time.
Healthcare workers using these aprons during fluoroscopy or radiography procedures are most at risk. The recall affects specific models sold with serial numbers starting with 382955 or 418939.
Check for serial numbers starting with 382955 or 418939 on the product. These Half Apron models were sold with part numbers REHALF* or REHALF3.
Look for serial numbers starting with 382955 or 418939 on the apron.
The protective material in the Half Apron may not provide adequate radiation shielding, increasing the risk of cancer or infertility from scatter radiation during medical procedures.
Check the serial number on the product. If it starts with 382955 or 418939, contact Burlington Medical for further instructions.
The recall addresses long-term health risks like cancer or infertility, not immediate injuries. The hazard does not cause death or serious injury in normal use.
