Landauer is recalling 584 units of the microSTARii reader, a medical dosimetry system used to measure radiation doses. The recall includes model numbers 18000-000, 18001-000, and 18007-000 across all serial numbers. These devices may provide inaccurate radiation measurements due to issues with the reader's LED beam profile or debris buildup caused by the mechanical movement of the drawer. If these inaccuracies go undetected, it could lead to incorrect radiation dose assessments for patients or medical staff.
The reader may miscalculate radiation doses because of optical interference or internal debris that changes how the device responds. This poses a risk of medical professionals relying on incorrect data for treatment planning or safety monitoring, which could result in inappropriate radiation exposure.
