AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - CONTAMINATED PACKAGE
The following is a summary of a report received from the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services via email:
At 1542 EST on February 3, 2024, Forsyth Memorial Hospital Inc., doing business as Novant Health, Forsyth Medical Center Mobile PET/CT Services notified the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services of a contaminated PETNET Solutions, Inc. transport case.
The transport case, containing fludeoxyglucose (FDG) (46.9 mCi of F-18), was received onboard a mobile coach lab while stationed at Novant Health Huntersville Medical Center. Immediately upon arrival, the technologist performed incoming package surveys. The survey at the surface read 6 mR/hr, and a removable contamination wipe read 33,000 dpm/100 sq cm. Two confirmatory wipes were then taken; both showing similar results. The technologist was able to pinpoint the contaminated spot on the transport case before securing the case onboard the mobile coach hot lab. The technologist then notified the PET/CT supervisor of the results. The supervisor contacted PETNET Winston-Salem who stated they would forward the event details to the PETNET location that dispatched the contaminated transport case, PETNET Columbia, SC.
