The following was received from Wisconsin … The following was received from Wisconsin via email:</br>On Friday, June 17, 2016, a licensee discovered contamination on a package that was used to ship I-125 prostate brachytherapy seeds. The post procedure survey of the packaging revealed elevated levels of radiation. After wipes were taken, the licensee determined that there was I-125 contamination on the inside of the packaging. There was no other contamination in the operating room. The licensee had the patient return to the facility to perform a urine bioassay. The bioassay revealed elevated levels of I-125 in the patient's urine. However further analysis will be required to determine activity concentrations. The licensee has also administered Lugols solution to the patient to block the thyroid. The department and the licensee are still collecting data to determine if this is a medical event. Site visits and updates will be performed as needed.</br>Wisconsin Report ID # WI160004</br>A Medical Event may indicate potential problems in a medical facility's use of radioactive materials.
