E. Healthcare in Arlington Heights, IL to advise of a radiopharmaceutical package missing in transit. The package was shipped via (common carrier) on March 19, 2025, to the San Francisco International Airport (SFO) for delivery on March 20, 2025, to RLS Radiopharmacy in Sacramento, CA. The lost package contained two vials of iodine-123 DaTscan, containing 40 mCi at the time of shipment. The last documented scan shows no movement after an arrival scan at the SFO cargo station on the evening of March 19th at 2005 PDT. At this time, the (common carrier) conducted searches at both the O'Hare International and SFO airports along with ramps and gates with no developments. </br>The package contents have since decayed to less than 2 mCi and do not represent a public exposure hazard. This package would be considered an IAEA Category 5 source, meaning it is the least likely to be dangerous, and even if dispersed would not cause permanent injury.</br>Illinois Emergency Management Agency will be contacting California to make them aware.</br>Illinois Item Number: IL250015</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.
