Landauer Radiation Dosimeter Recalled for Potential Measurement Inaccuracy

Landauer is recalling 1,880 units of the Constancy nanoDot D2DNN radiation dosimeter due to a potential non-conformance that may cause inaccurate radiation readings. The devices were distributed worldwide.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: FDA Class II medical device used for occupational radiation safety where potential measurement inaccuracy presents a risk to worker exposure assessment, but no illnesses or injuries have been reported and the hazard is theoretical.

Plain-English summary

Landauer is recalling 1,880 units of the Constancy (Cs-137) nanoDot D2DNN radiation monitoring dosimeter. The device is used to measure radiation exposure in occupational settings.

Reports indicated that some nanoDots may provide readings outside the specified accuracy range of ±5.5%. Investigation identified a potential non-conformance in the Optical Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) material, which converts radiation exposure into a fluorescent signal for measurement by microSTAR readers.

The recall affects all batch numbers of Model Numbers 18155-000 (EMEA number VKITCON001) and 18155-KIT, identified by UDI/DI 0860003399903. Distribution was worldwide.

Users who have these dosimeters should contact Landauer for information about this recall.
