Iba Dosimetry Recalls Large Stealth Chamber Dosimeters for Measurement Deviations

Iba Dosimetry is recalling 110 Large Stealth Chambers because they may show measurement deviations and geometric shadowing when used as reference detectors.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the source text does not report any hospitalizations, injuries, or deaths. The hazard is a measurement deviation rather than a direct physical injury, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity recall.
