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. North Carolina Incident Number: NC 11-48
