The following was received from the state … The following was received from the state of Arizona via email:</br>The Department (Arizona Department of Health Services) has received notification from the licensee (Scottsdale Healthcare dba Honorhealth Scottsdale Shea Medical Center) that one brachytherapy seed has been lost. It is assumed that the seed went down the drain of an autopsy table on 02/11/2020. All other seeds are accounted for and stored in the licensee's brachytherapy hot lab. The seed model is Civadot, and the isotope is Palladium-103. The Lot ID from which the seed originated is CSH-201. The calibrated activity of the seed on 12/10/2019 was 0.783 mCi (29.0 MBq). The calculated activity as of 02/12/2020 is 0.058 mCi (2.15 MBq). The Department has requested additional information and continues to investigate the event.</br>Arizona Incident Number: 20-003</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.
