Burlington Medical recalls Peak Vest single-use products due to potential inadequate radiation protection, increasing cancer risk with long-term exposure. Affected units include 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 Peak Vest products because the protective material might not shield users from scatter radiation during medical procedures. This could increase long-term cancer risk or other health issues if the vest is used without proper protection.
The vest's protective material may not adequately block scatter radiation from medical imaging equipment. Prolonged exposure to this radiation can raise the risk of cancer, infertility, or other health problems over time.
Healthcare workers using Peak Vest products during fluoroscopy or radiography procedures are most at risk. The recall affects specific units with listed serial numbers.
Check for serial numbers listed: 418892, 381887, 381902, 418811, 418952, 387916, 429678. These units were sold with specific product numbers and part numbers.
Look for the listed serial numbers: 418892, 381887, 381902, 418811, 418952, 387916, 429678.
The protective material in the Peak Vest may not provide adequate radiation shielding, increasing long-term cancer risk with repeated use.
Check if your unit has one of the listed serial numbers. If it does, contact Burlington Medical for guidance.
