The following information was obtained fro … The following information was obtained from the State of Georgia via facsimile:</br>Description of Event: A spill involving Y-90 microspheres (SIR-Spheres) that occurred on May 24, 2011 at Emory University Hospital (and) was reported by the Deputy Radiation Safety Officer. During an embolization treatment using Y-90 microspheres, resistance was encountered when flushing the catheter following the initial successful microsphere administration. The authorized user examined the catheter which was found to be occluded. Preparations were made to continue the administration with a second measured dose, but this was halted when further examination showed evidence of a leak between the Y-90 vial and the catheter. The procedure was postponed until contamination controls were complete. The patient received the completion of the prescribed dose pursuant to the Authorized User's written directives when the Interventional Suite was available for use on the following day. </br>Describe clean-up actions taken by RCP (Georgia Radiation Control Program): No action performed by RCP but the licensee sealed the Y-90 shielding and cart and removed (them) for decay and evaluation. The floor and equipment were decontaminated by licensee radiation safety staff.</br>List radiation measurements taken by RCP: No measurements performed by the RCP but the licensee initiated spill containment procedures (and surveyed) the staff before allowing anyone to exit the room. Some minor contamination was discovered on staff clothing and shoes, but no contamination was detected on the skin of staff after removal of affected items. The deputy RSO surveyed the patient and had a bremsstrahlung scan of patient. No contamination was found on the patient during the scan.</br>List any other actions required of RCP: The licensee is storing all waste from this event for decay and subsequent investigation.</br>Georgia Incident Summary number GA-2011-61i.orgia Incident Summary number GA-2011-61i. +
