The Duty Office then contacted, a technician of Proctor Hospital who indicated that a syringe of Tc-99m had partially vented which resulted in the contamination of her glove and the exterior of the retrieved pharmacy container. She stated that following notification from the pharmacy around 2 pm that afternoon, she had surveyed the hot lab for contamination and discovered loose radioactive contamination on the counter, the floor and the gloves she had been using at the time. She successfully decontaminated the floor and changed the counter absorbent covering. No other contamination had been found in the Department. | The Duty Office then contacted, a technician of Proctor Hospital who indicated that a syringe of Tc-99m had partially vented which resulted in the contamination of her glove and the exterior of the retrieved pharmacy container.
