| Title | Agreement State Report of a Possible Release of F-18 Fdg (Fluoro-2-Deoxyglucose) |
| Event Description | The following is a summary of the report received from the Wisconsin Department of Health and Family Services via e-mail:
On March 27, 2006 a vial containing approximately 2.77 Ci of F-18 FDG was not received at the drawing station after the synthesis had been completed. Licensee stated that the monitoring equipment indicated the synthesis had been completed and the F-18 had been delivered to the drawing station. The radiopharmaceutical synthesizers are located in a shielded mini-cell. The mini-cell door was opened to investigate and the delivery line was observed to be disconnected. The mini-cell was then closed and operations were discontinued until the next day allowing for decay. The half-life of F-18 FDG is 1.82 hrs. Radiation and contamination surveys were performed outside the closed mini-cells and surrounding areas. No contamination was found. On March 28, 2006 the licensee contacted DHFS by telephone to report the incident. The licensee subsequently faxed in a preliminary report to DHFS. This will be followed up on Friday March 31, 2006 during a reactive inspection by a DHFS inspector. Wisconsin Rpt No.: 36 |
