K) October 30, 1995NRC INFORMATION NOTICE 95-50:. SAFETY DEFECT IN GAMMAMED 12i BRONCHIALCATHETER CLAMPING ADAPTERS
Addressees
All High Dose Rate Afterloader (HDR) licensees.
Purpose
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission is issuing this information notice toalert addressees to the manufacturer's recommendation to discontinue use ofGammaMed 12i 1.8-millimeter(mm) bronchial catheter adapters. It is expectedthat recipients will review the information for applicability to theirfacilities and consider actions, as appropriate, to avoid similar problems.However, suggestions contained in this information notice are not new NRCrequirements; therefore, no specific action nor written response is required.DescriDtion of CircumstancesDuring a bronchial treatment, on November 16, 1994, using a GammaMed 12i HDR,the bronchial catheter pulled out of the catheter clamping adapter. Thisresulted in the clamping adapter clamping on the source wire, producing anabnormally high amount of friction during subsequent source movement. Ondetection of this interference to source movement, the device initiated anemergency retract, thus terminating the patient treatment. During thisemergency retract, the source became stuck in the clamping adapter,necessitating prompt emergency response, by the Radiation Oncology staff, toevacuate the patient from the high radiation area. The staff's prompt action,limited the excess whole body exposure to the patient to less than0.4 millisieverts (40 millirem). However, the HDR source and drive mechanismswere damaged and required replacement.On July 13, 1995, a similar incident occurred while vendor representativeswere performing the acceptance testing on a new GammaMed 12i. Again, thesource became stuck in the bronchial catheter clamping adapter after thecatheter had pulled loose from the adapter. In freeing the stuck source, thevendor's Radiation Safety Officer received an estimated extremity dose of26 centigray (rads). No patient was involved in this Incident.DiscussionAfter the first incident in November 1994, Frank Barker Associates, Inc.,provided all its GammaMed 12i customers with instructions for proper use ofthe GammaMed 12i, 1.8-mm bronchial catheter and associated clamping adapter.This notification (Attachment 1) was provided in the form of a BARKER+ TECH-TIP dated November 22, 1994.9510240405 iPP& qPS&o 9S got Y4 IN 95-50October 30, 1995 After the second incident in July 1995, Frank Barker Associates, Inc., issuedtwo more notifications, to its customers on the use of the 1.8-mm bronchialcatheter clamping adapters, Product Number 931-012. The first of these(Attachment 2) was another BARKER+ TECH-TIP, dated July 18, 1995, whichadvised customers to avoid the Wend testm mode of operation with the white1.8-mm bronchial catheter, as this mode will stretch the catheter and possiblypush the catheter out of the clamping adapter. This TECH-TIP goes on todescribe the sticking of the source, in the clamping adapter, should thecatheter be pushed out of the adapter.Frank Barker Associates, Inc. also held discussions with the NRC, regardingradiation safety issues associated with the failure of the GammaMed 12idevices to retract the source into its shielded safe after a bronchialcatheter has been pulled out of the clamping adapter. They subsequently senta letter dated August 18, 1995, (Attachment 3) to all 12i users, advising themto discontinue use of these adapters. The letter further advised the usersthat new clamping adapters were in production and would be provided to them inOctober 1995.NRC is concerned about the possibility of ether patients or licensee staffreceiving excessive exposures to radiation if an HDR source fails to retract.Because of this documented defect in the GammaMed 12i bronchial clampingadapters, all affected licensees are encouraged to follow the recommendationsof the device vendor, as contained in its letter of August 18, 1995. Anylicensee using this adapter to complete a course of treatment started beforethe vendor's notification should exercise extreme caution.This information notice requires no specific action nor written response.

September , 1995 Following the second Incident in July 1995, Frank Barker Associates, Inc.,issued two more notifications to their customers on the use of the 1.8mmbronchial catheter clamping adapters, Product Number 931-012. The first ofthese (Attachment 2) was another BARKER+ TECH-TIP dated July 18, 1995,advising their customers to avoid the 'end test' mode of operation with thewhite 1.8mm bronchial catheter as this mode will stretch the catheter andpossibly push the catheter out of the clamping adapter. This TECH-TIP goes onto describe the sticking of the source in the clamping adapter should thecatheter be pushed out of the adapter.After discussions with the NRC, related to radiation safety issues associatedwith the failure of the GammaMed 12i devices to retract the source into itsshielded safe after a bronchial catheter has been pulled out of the clampingadapter, Frank Barker Associates, Inc., sent a letter dated August 18, 1995,(Attachment 3) to all 121 users advising them to discontinue use of theseadapters. The letter further advised their users that new clamping adapterswere in production and would be provided to them in October 1995.The NRC is concerned about the potential for excessive exposures to radiationby either patients, or licensee staff, in the event of the failure of an HDRsource to retract, due to this documented defect in the GammaMed 121 bronchialclamping adapters. All affected licensees are encouraged to follow therecommendations of the device vendor, as contained in their letter ofAugust 18, 1995. Extreme caution should be exercised by any licensee usingthis adapter to complete a course of treatment that was started prior to thevendor's notification.Related Generic Communications:This information notice requires no specific action or written response.

This will be facilitated by positioning the tre3anent unit as near ac Ispossible to the patient.If you have any questions please contact me at our toll-free number 1-800-2-BARKER a --Attachment 2IN 95-50October 30, 1995 BARKER+ TECH-TIPDATE: July 18, 1995TO: Al Gammmed 12i UsersFROM: Garry Nixon -U.S. Iammned Service ManagerRE: Bronclal catheters to be used p in indexer chamncls 20 -24I would like to remind all Gtmamed 12i Users that whaeever using the white 1.8mmbronchial cathctcr, that this catheter will stretch if a duznry wire 'end test' is performed.This will most likely cause the console eror message "Probe too long in channe 1".There is also the distinct possibility that in the process of the dummy wire pushingagainst the end of the catheter, it will push the catheter almost completely out of the meulclamping adapte which connects the catheter to the 12i's indexer channeL It is possiblethat the source could complet.ly pubh the cathctcr out of the clamping adaptcr whichwould result in the clanping adapter no longer clamping on the catheter but ratherclamping on the source wire! During the next movement of the source wire, theabnormally high amount of frictin (between the cliapiig auapter and the source wire)will be detected and an Emergency Ret will be initiated, thus terminating thetreatment. lf; during this Emergency Reawt, the wire becomes saLk in Lhe clump, it maynot be possible to completely retact the source capsule into it's "safe' position in thedepleted uranium shielding. This obviously would necessitate intervention within thenmument room by the Radiation Oncology staff conducting the treatment, to evacuate thepatent; and by a BARKER+ Servce Egineer to retrieve the source into the shielding ora shipping container.In o to avoid this scrio, it iiimp at s adapter b used in indexerchannels 1-19. ThcI c ubwwels ae pvogmramcd to do an end t1st with c dummybefore extending the source wire.
