Landauer is recalling 975 microStar Reader units, including model numbers 10015-000, 10016-000, 10036-000, 10044-000, 10055-000, BC30058, and BC30059. The manufacturer is permanently discontinuing the microSTARii medical dosimetry system and must remove all references to medical applications from the product's user manuals and software. This action is necessary because the device is no longer intended for medical use and will be removed from customers who use them exclusively for medical purposes.
Using these dosimetry readers for medical applications after they have been discontinued for such use could lead to improper radiation measurements or clinical decisions based on obsolete software and manuals. While no specific injuries have been reported, the manufacturer is removing the devices from medical environments to prevent their use in healthcare settings where they are no longer supported or validated.
