Burlington Medical recalls 1 pc Full Wrap Support Belt Aprons (Product Number F111) due to potential inadequate radiation protection, increasing cancer and infertility risks with long-term use.
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 Full Wrap Support Belt Aprons because the protective material may not shield users from scatter radiation during medical procedures. This could increase long-term risks of cancer, infertility, or other health issues if the apron is used without proper protection.
The aprons use materials that may not provide sufficient radiation shielding. Scatter radiation from medical imaging devices can expose users to varying levels of radiation, which over time may increase cancer risk, cause infertility, or lead to other health problems.
Healthcare workers using these aprons during fluoroscopic or radiographic procedures are most at risk. The recall applies to specific product numbers sold in the U.S. between 2019 and 2023.
Check for Product Number F111 and Part Numbers like MTREF111*F, MTREF111E, or REF111*F. These aprons were sold to healthcare workers in the U.S. from 2019 to 2023 with serial numbers listed in the recall notice.
Identify your apron's product number and part numbers to confirm if it's in the recall list.
