The following information was received fro … The following information was received from the Arizona Department of Health Services (the Department) via email: </br>On November 2, 2021, the Department was notified by the licensee of one missing I-125 radioactive seed for breast tumor localization. According to the licensee, two IsoAid Advantage I-125 breast localization seeds were removed by surgery on October 29, 2021 and were verified to be included in the specimen. The specimen with the seeds was delivered to pathology on the afternoon of October 29, 2021. The seeds were not removed from the specimen until November 1, 2021 by pathology. At this time, pathology was only able to locate one of the I-125 seeds. Nuclear Medicine performed surveys of pathology, pathology staff, the operating room and hallways leading from surgery to pathology. The licensee was unsuccessful in locating the one missing I-125 seed. (The missing I-125 seed was between 0.3 and 0.4 microcuries.) The Department has requested additional information and continues to investigate the event.</br>Additional information will be provided as it is received in accordance with SA-300.</br>Arizona Incident No: 21-008</br>THIS MATERIAL EVENT CONTAINS A 'Less than Cat 3' LEVEL OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL</br>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.
