AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - PACKAGE ARRIVED WITH SURFACE CONTAMINATION

The following was received from the State of Colorado via email:

"Red Rocks Radiation Oncology received a package of Ra-223 Xofigo that had removable contamination levels of approximately 23,000 cpm on the outside of the package. The Ra-223 package was delivered by a Cardinal courier from the Cardinal Health facility in Denver, CO which distributes all radiopharmaceuticals (license CO 392-03 is the Cardinal Health license for general radiopharmaceuticals, they share the same building as CO 1219-01). The inner packaging of the Ra-223 shipment did not evidence removable contamination, nor did the car used to transport the Ra-223 package. Cardinal Health has received the wipes and decontamination waste from Red Rocks Radiation Oncology to attempt to determine the isotope causing the removable contamination. The investigation is currently ongoing."
