| Title | Agreement State Report - Failure of Radiography Camera Locking Mechanism |
| Event Description | The following information was received via e-mail:
On September 7, 2011, the licensee discovered a failure of the locking mechanism of a QSA 880-Delta radiography exposure device. This is a 30-day notification event. Device: 880 Delta. S/N: D7822. During the installation of the 880 camera, it was discovered that the locking mechanism would not return to the 'Stored / Locked' position. While investigating the malfunction, it was determined that possibly one of the springs in the locking mechanism was bad. The manufacturer (QSA Global / Sentinel) was called and the malfunction was explained and it was requested that the camera be sent back for further investigation and correction of the malfunction. This camera did not have a radioactive source in it or attached to the drive cable at the time of the malfunction discovery. This is a brand new 880 Delta camera and has not had a radioactive source in it. The source to be installed in the camera is being stored in a 650L changer, serial number 2168 and secured in [the licensee's] radiography booth. The RSO was the only person in the radiography booth when the malfunction was discovered and no potential exposure occurred. Updates will be provided through NMED.
