Title	Found Medical Seed
Event Description	The following information was provided by the Arizona Department of Health Services (The Department) via email: The Department was notified by the licensee that on 8/4/2023, a person walked into their facility to report a box with a radioactive material label was sitting on top of a trash can outside of their facility with their name on it. The licensee determined that the box contained (1) Isoaid I-125 seed (0.150 mCi) that had been picked up by [Common Carrier] the day before (8/3) at 4:09pm. The licensee inspected the package and determined that the package was still sealed and intact. The Department has requested additional information and continues to investigate the event. Arizona Event No.: 23-014 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.
