Burlington Medical recalls frontal stretch buckle aprons (product A-10) due to potential inadequate radiation protection, increasing cancer and infertility risks from scatter radiation exposure during medical procedures.
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 stretch buckle aprons that may not provide sufficient protection against scatter radiation during medical procedures. This could increase the risk of cancer, infertility, or other health issues with long-term exposure.
The aprons may not adequately shield users from scatter radiation generated during medical imaging. Long-term exposure to this radiation could increase risks of cancer, infertility, or other health problems depending on factors like distance, time, and shielding.
Healthcare workers using these aprons during fluoroscopy or radiography procedures are most at risk. The recall affects specific product models sold with serial numbers listed in the notice.
Check for product number A-10 with part numbers REA10A, REA10B, REA10C, REA10*F, REA10*M, or UEA10*M. Look for serial numbers including 423604, 423524, 423537, 423549, 387906, 423539, 423577, 444669, 384383.
Verify your apron's product number and serial number against the list provided in the recall notice.
