Appendix NOTICE OF VIOLATION Detroit Osteopathic Hospital Corporation Licer.se No. 21-04082-01 As a result of the inspection conducted on January 13 and 14,1982, and in accordance with the Interim Enforcement Policy, 45 FR 66754 (October 7, 1980), the following violations were identified:
1.
License Condition No. 23 requires that licensed material be possessed and used in accordance with the statements, representations, and procedures contained in certain referenced applications and letters.
The referenced letter dated May 6, 1981, states that quarterly accuracy tests of the dose calibrators will be performed.
Contrary to the above, the dose calibrators at Detroit Osteopathic Hospital, Bi-County Community Hospital and Riverside Osteopathic Hospital have not been tested for accuracy during the first, second, and third quarters of 1981.
This is a Severity Level V violation (Supplement VII).
2.
License Condition No. 16 states that patients containing cobalt-60, cesium-137, or iridium-192 implants shall remain hospitalized until surveys made with an appropriate radiation detection instrument indicate that all implants have been removed.

Contrary to the above, on at least eleven occasions in 1981, patients who had been treated with cesium-137 were released from Detroit Osteopathic Hospital without being surveyed to determine that all implants had been removed.
In addition, records of surveys performed on patients treated with iridium-192 were not maintained.
This is a Severity Level V violation (Supplement VII).
