Landauer nanoDot radiation dosimeters recalled for potential accuracy deviation

Landauer is recalling nanoDot D2DNS radiation monitoring dosimeters due to a potential defect in the OSL material. Affected devices may provide radiation exposure readings outside the specified +/-5.5% accuracy range.

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: FDA Class II recall with no reported illnesses, injuries, or deaths. The hazard is a potential accuracy deviation in the radiation monitoring device's OSL material, representing a theoretical rather than confirmed risk of harm.

Plain-English summary

Landauer is recalling nanoDot D2DNS radiation monitoring dosimeters, including Model Numbers 03056-000, 03056-1MO, 03056-3MO, and 03056-KIT, used with microSTAR readers. Approximately 535,643 units distributed worldwide are involved in the recall.

Investigation identified a potential non-conformance in the Optical Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) material used in the dosimeters. As a result, some nanoDots may provide radiation exposure readings outside the specified accuracy range of +/-5.5%.

The OSL material is exposed to measure radiation and then emits fluorescence proportional to the exposure. The potential defect in this material is the basis for the recall.
