Landauer is recalling over 1.6 million nanoDot radiation monitoring dosimeters because they may provide readings that are outside the required +/-5.5% accuracy range. This defect is caused by a problem in the material that glows under light to show radiation exposure levels. These devices are used with microSTAR readers to track radiation doses in medical and industrial settings. If the accuracy is compromised, users may receive incorrect data about radiation exposure levels.
The dosimeters may fail to provide accurate measurements of radiation exposure, potentially leading to an underestimation or overestimation of radiation doses received by patients or staff. While Landauer has received reports of these accuracy issues, no specific injuries have been detailed in the recall data.
