UNITED STATESNUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSIONOFFICE OF NUCLEAR MATERIAL SAFETY AND SAFEGUARDSWASHINGTON, D.C. 20555August 15, 1997NRC INFORMATION NOTICE 97-65: FAILURES OF HIGH-DOSE-RATE (HDR)REMOTE AFTERLOADING DEVICE SOURCEGUIDE TUBES, CATHETERS, ANDAPPLICATORS
Addressees
All high-dose-rate (HDR) remote afterloader licensees.purposeThe U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing this information notice to alertaddressees to reports of failures in source guide tubes, catheters, and applicators used withHDR devices supplied by the three major U. S. vendors of these devices. Licensees should beaware of the potential for similar failures during the course of patient treatments and thepossible risk(s) associated with the loss of containment of a HDR source. It is expected thatrecipients will review the information for applicability to their facilities and consider actions,as appropriate, to avoid similar problems. However, suggestions contained in this informationnotice are not NRC requirements; therefore, no specific action nor written response is required.
Description of Circumstances
During the last several years, NRC has received reports of failures of HDR source guide tubes,catheters, and applicators used to place and contain the HDR source during patient treatments.Most recently, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) provided NRC with its inspectionfindings documenting such failures for Nucletron Corporation devices. A brief summary of theknown failures follows:1. The FDA's March 1997, inspection findings at Nucletron Corporation includedreported failures of Ring I/U tube applicators, Flexiguide cone catheters breakinginside patients, problems with numbers wearing off transfer tubes, catheterlength variations, and one reported problem with an esophagal catheter.2. A similar FDA inspection of Omnitron Corporation, in November 1993, foundnumerous reported failures with their Flexineedle applicators, and GYN andstandard catheters. Reports indicate that components of the Flexineedleapplicators have separated inside patients and, in some cases, have not beenretrieved.9708qT11 rot NOTI1 l1 -D11 11151 IN 97-65August 15, 1997 . In 1993, an NRC licensee reported that a Gamma Med II source guide tubebroke away from a vaginal cylinder. This resulted in the HDR source beingdriven onto the table, rather than into the vaginal cylinder. A subsequent checkfor defects by the licensee of all guide tubes and applicators, revealed that sixbronchial, one tandem, and two intracavity tubes were defective.The causes for these defects in the applicators, guide tubes, and catheters have been variouslyascribed to design defects, errors in manufacturing, or improper sterilization procedures. Whileactions on the part of manufacturers have likely resulted in-correction of most of the identifiedproblems, licensees performing HDR brachytherapy treatments should be aware of thepotential for failure of HDR device accessories.DiscussionGiven that HDR device applicators, guide tubes, and catheters can fail suddenly and in anunexpected manner, it is important that users of these components take appropriate pre-cautions, to the extent practicable, to protect their patients from injuries. NRC is particularlyconcerned about the possibility of both patients and health care providers receiving significantradiation exposures. The potential for significant radiation exposure could be reduced iflicensees were aware of the possibility of such failures and, as a direct result, were prepared tosafely and expeditiously handle the resulting emergency situation.In recognition of the hazards associated with an event where a HDR source either becomesstuck or detached during a patient treatment, NRC requested, in NRC Bulletin 93-01, thatlicensees commit to providing written emergency procedures for responding to either ofthese potential emergency situations. This item was subsequently incorporated in Policyand Guidance Directive FC 86-4 (Rev. 1) which provided NRC license reviewers with guid-ance for licensing HDR device applications. Some licensees responded to this request bystating that such an event is improbable, since the source is always contained within the guidetube and/or applicator of the device, thus, negating any need for establishing the requestedemergency procedures. Knowing that there have been multiple reported failures of thiscontainment system, licensees may wish to reconsider the necessity of having preplannedemergency surgical procedures as an integral part of their emergency response procedures forHDR patient treatments.Although the probability of a failure of the containment system simultaneous to the sourcesticking or becoming detached would be expected to be very small, the failure of a con-tainment system could, for example, increase the probability that the HDR source wouldbecome stuck or detached by obstructing the path of the source, or a HDR source that becamestuck or detached within the source transportlcontainment system could stress the containmentsystem, resulting in breaching the containment. Thus, a failure of either the containmentsystem or the source could easily increase the probability for the failure of the othe IN 97-65August 15, 1997 The FDA has the primary responsibility for regulating the design and manufacture of these HDRguide tubes, applicators, and catheters. Therefore, it is important that the FDA be notified ofany failures or defects with such devices, so that any problems, with a potential for patientinjury, can be corrected.Licensees should be aware that medical device user facilities are now subject to mandatoryFDA adverse event reporting requirements for medical devices. Information concerning FDA'smandatory reporting requirements can be obtained by contacting the Center for Devices andRadiological Health, Office of Surveillance and Biometrics, Division of Surveillance Systems, at301-594-2735. Since the FDA mandatory reporting requirements may not be applicable to allmedical device events, FDA also depends on information voluntarily provided by device usersbecause they are often the first to recognize medical device-related hazards. Any concernsthat licensees may have pertaining to the safety or quality problems associated with medicaldevices can be voluntarily reported to the FDA by calling MedWatch at 1-800-FDA-1088.Voluntary reports can be submitted anonymously.This information notice requires no specific action nor written response. If you have anyquestions about the information in this notice, please contact the technical contact listed belowor the appropriate NRC regional office.Donald A.

Therefore, it is important that the FDA be notified ofany failures or defects with such devices, so that any problems, with a potential for patientinjury, can be corrected.Licensees should be aware that medical device user facilities are now subject to mandatoryFDA adverse event reporting requirements for medical devices:. Information concerning FDA'smandatory reporting requirements can be obtained by contacting the Center for Devices andRadiological Health, Office of Surveillance and Biometrics, Division of Surveillance Systems, at301-594-2735. Since the FDA mandatory reporting requirements may not be applicable to allmedical device events, FDA also depends on information voluntarily provided by device usersbecause they are often the first to recognize medical device-related hazards. Any cbncernsthat licensees may have pertaining to the safety or quality problems associated with medicaldevices can be voluntarily reported to the FDA by calling MedWatch at 1-800-FDA-1088.Voluntary reports can be submitted anonymously.This information notice requires no specific action nor written response.
