An assessment of contamination was performed and none identified. The licensee was contacted by the Agency and their staff promptly recovered the piece today (6/21/23). This piece reportedly circumvented their radiation screening process. Radioactive components are to be identified and returned to Varian. Legacy is an Illinois radioactive materials licensee (IL-02445-01) that receives decommissioned Varian (and other low/high energy) devices and sorts the equipment for recoverable materials versus scrap. The device originated from Varian Medical Systems and was decommissioned and transported by Legacy Transportation Services. The component is estimated to contain less than 1 microcurie of Co-60 and had an exposure rate of 100 microrem/hour on contact. 'Agency staff responded to a radiation monitor trip at a scrap metal recycling facility (SIMS Metal Management in Chicago) on 6/20/23 and identified an activated component from a high energy therapy device. The following information was received from the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (Agency) via email: It does not necessarily result in harm to the patient.ĪGREEMENT STATE REPORT - RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL RECOVERED AT A SCRAPYARD Below and attached are the calculations we received from the lead Nuclear Medicine technologist and Therasphere representative.'Ī Medical Event may indicate potential problems in a medical facility's use of radioactive materials. The tubing and catheter were placed in appropriate shielding for long term decay in storage. There was no spillage or contamination of microspheres from the Y-90 dose. 'Based on dosimeter readings of the Y-90 vial, and Geiger-Mueller meter measurements of the equipment, the microspheres were blocked in a tubing connector and did not fully reach the patient and/or organ. 'The report from the licensee is as follows: This is a termination of the Y-90 therapy due to stasis of the administration. The original injection was to have been 68.5 mCi. However, due to equipment or patient issues the patient received only 6% (i.e. It appears that their patient was to have received 19.8 Gray. The Radiation Safety Officer, Imaging Services Compliance Specialist, called to report a mishap with their first procedures with Y-90. 'On June 19, 2023, at approximately 1300 CDT, the licensee contacted the Arkansas Department of Health to report a medical event from Jefferson Regional Medical Center, Pine Bluff, Arkansas. The following information was provided by the Arkansas Department of Health via email: NOTE: the relay 'trigger' can be connected to a ground or 12V signal as long as the other end of the low current relay coil wire is connected to an opposing source.AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - PATIENT UNDERDOSE
