| Event Description | The following was received from the state of Ohio by email:
On December 16, 2021, the Ohio Department of Health was notified by Cardinal Health 414 LLC PET Manufacturing Services that one of their employees exceeded their extremity dose limits. On November 26, 2021 at 0440 EST, an employee of Cardinal Health was synthesizing Fluorine-18 FDG in a mini-cell. The employee heard a sound indicating the conical reservoir cap blew-off during synthesis and opened the door to the mini-cell. He contaminated his gloves, lab coat and pants, which he removed and replaced. He did not contaminate his skin, and the licensee stated surveys were conducted showing the floor was not contaminated as a result of this event. The Columbus PET Manufacturing RSO (MRSO) sent the employee's finger rings and TLD to Landauer for processing. The dosimetry is sent in biweekly. For the period of November 15 to November 28, the employee received 208 mRem total DDE to the chest, 58,330 mRem to the left hand, and 6,442 mRem to the right hand. On December 9, 2021 the MRSO notified the Corporate RSO of the event and removed the employee from radiation related work. Ohio Item Number: OH210011 |
