Burlington Medical recalls specific cap models due to potential inadequate radiation protection during medical procedures, 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 certain caps used by healthcare workers to protect against scatter radiation during medical procedures. These caps may not provide sufficient protection, potentially increasing cancer, infertility, or other health risks with prolonged use.
The protective material in these caps may not adequately shield users from scatter radiation generated during medical imaging. Long-term exposure to this radiation could increase the risk of cancer, infertility, or other health issues depending on factors like distance, time, and shielding.
Healthcare workers using the recalled caps during fluoroscopy or radiography procedures are most at risk. The specific models and serial numbers listed in the recall are affected.
Check if your cap has the product number 'Cap' or part numbers CAP1 or CAP2. Affected units include specific serial numbers listed in the recall notice.
Look for the serial numbers listed in the recall: 389083, 423885, 413884, and other numbers provided in the notice.
The protective material may not provide adequate radiation shielding, potentially increasing cancer, infertility, or other health risks with long-term exposure during medical procedures.
Check if your cap has the product number 'Cap' or part numbers CAP1 or CAP2, and if it matches the listed serial numbers in the recall.
The recall does not specify a remedy, so contact Burlington Medical directly for guidance on next steps.
