Title	Lost I-125 Seed
Event Description	The following information was received by the State of Ohio via email: The licensee performs prostate seed implants on Tuesdays and Thursdays each week. End of day inventories are performed by two therapists. At the end of day inventory on 1/4/2022 the licensee had 53 unused seeds. The beginning of day inventory on 1/6/2022 the inventory was 52 seeds. No procedures were conducted between 1/4/22 and 1/6/22, and surveys did not locate the missing seed. The licensee is unable to account for the discrepancy in their inventory. Source/Radioactive Material: SEALED SOURCE BRACHYTHERAPY Manufacturer: BARD Brachytherapy Model Number: STM-1251 Radionuclide: I-125, 0.000393 Ci Ohio Item Number: OH220001 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.
