Affected Products

Zero-Gravity Radiation Protection System Radiology Personnel protective shield.

Quantity: 447

Why Was This Recalled?

Two customer complaints suggest that excessive rotation of the cable in one direction (clockwise or counter-clockwise) without allowing the cable to unwind to its normal condition may cause the cable to break suddenly and the body shield to fall. While no injuries or deaths occurred in either failure, the Zero-GravityTM body shield weighs 55 pounds, and in the event of a cable failure, the body shield will fall immediately. A fall of this nature places the user, associated staff and the patient at risk for a potential injury.
