Title	Lost Device
Event Description	The following was received from the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (the Department) via email: The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control was notified on 05/25/21, that a strontium-90 medical eye applicator was lost or missing. The eye applicator is an Atlantic Research Corporation Model B-1 eye applicator, serial number 300, with a maximum activity of 50 millicuries. The licensee is reporting that the last inventory listed the source activity at 15.25 millicuries. During a recent inspection conducted by the Department, the licensee was unable to provide disposal records of the medical eye applicator. The licensee is now reporting the loss of the strontium-90 medical eye applicator. This event is still under investigation by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control. THIS MATERIAL EVENT CONTAINS A 'Less than Cat 3' LEVEL OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL Sources that are "Less than IAEA Category 3 sources," are either sources that are very unlikely to cause permanent injury to individuals or contain a very small amount of radioactive material that would not cause any permanent injury. Some of these sources, such as moisture density gauges or thickness gauges that are Category 4, the amount of unshielded radioactive material, if not safely managed or securely protected, could possibly - although it is unlikely - temporarily injure someone who handled it or were otherwise in contact with it, or who were close to it for a period of many weeks.
