| Title | Package Lost in Transit |
| Event Description | The following information was provided by the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (the Agency) via phone and email:
The Agency was notified on November 25, 2025, by G.E. Healthcare that a shipment containing one shielded, 10 mL vial of an indium-111 radiopharmaceutical has been reported as lost after arriving at the [common carrier's] Memphis, TN hub. This package was shipped from the licensee's Arlington Heights facility on Friday, November 7, 2025, for delivery to Leesar, Inc. of Fort Myers, FL. The package contained 3.201 mCi at time of shipment, which has now decayed to 0.03 mCi. The package is likely lost within the sorting facility and there is little likelihood of public exposures exceeding regulatory limits. The customer has acknowledged that the package was not received. There has been no indication that the package was damaged or that the contents were separated from its packaging. The loss has a 30-day reporting requirement, which was met by the licensee. Absent any new information, this matter is considered closed pending the licensee's written report. Illinois item number: IL250047 THIS MATERIAL EVENT CONTAINS A 'Less than Cat 3' LEVEL OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL 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.
