Title	Lost and Found Source
Event Description	The following is a summary of a report received from Florida Bureau of Radiation Control (the Bureau) via email: On February 24, 2022, at 0920 EST, the Vice-President of Imaging Physics at Landauer Medical Physics at the Cleveland Clinic Martin South Hospital called the Bureau to report a missing source. A 15 mCi Co-57 Med 3709 (s/n 2281-093, reference date February 1, 2022) source was ordered from Primestar to be delivered to the Nuclear Medicine (NM) Department. The order shipped January 12, 2022, at 1104 EST, and delivery was signed for, but the individual who signed for delivery did not remember seeing a radioactive box. The source was never received in NM. The South Hospital facility and all other NM departments checked for the source the week of the February 14 but were unable to locate it. The source was considered missing/lost by February 21, 2022. The Bureau received an update on February 25, 2022, at 1647 EST. The Department Heads met to see how something could be received and not accounted for. The theory was that the person that signed for the package did not have the best handwriting, and the intraoffice label may have been misunderstood, sending it to nutrition instead of nuclear. A search of the nutrition storage shed at the South Hospital revealed the source. The shed is a secure, unoccupied space away from any staff, with limited access. This incident is considered closed. Florida Incident Number: FL22-027
