SEALED SOURCE DELIVERED TO THE INCORRECT ADDRESS

On 01/25/01 AEA Technology QSA, Inc., shipped a packaged 500 mCi promethium-147 sealed source via FED EX to Impact Systems located in Los Gatos, CA. On 02/01/2001 Impact Systems called AEA Technology QSA asking where the package was. AEA Technology QSA, Inc., contacted FED EX and was informed that the package had been delivered to Fastech Integration, Inc., located at 101 Albright St., Los Gatos, CA.

FED EX went back to the address to reclaim the package and to complete the delivery to Impact Systems. FED EX said that they would notify AEA Technology QSA, Inc., and let them know if there was a problem.

AEA Technology QSA, Inc., received a second call from Impact Systems on 02/07/01 asking where the package was. AEA Technology QSA, Inc., immediately contacted FED EX on 02/07/01. On 02/12/01 FED EX informed AEA Technology QSA, Inc., that they had gone back to Fastech Integration, Inc., and spoke to the individual who has signed for the package, but the receiver stated she did not have the package.

The State of Massachusetts informed the State of California of this event and are still following up on this event.
