A simple system which facilitates the verification of the calibration of iodine-125 sources in rigid absorbable suture, on the remote traceability basis, was developed. It consists of a plastic jig accommodating a sterile closed-end 16 gauge plastic catheter. The iodine-125 source in rigid absorbable suture is placed into the sterile closed-end 16 gauge plastic catheter. The jig fits in a standard dose calibrator. The sterility of the strand is maintained while a reasonable number of seeds used for an actual implant can be easily measured. This is an improvement over the current recommended practice of assaying just one separate seed of the same strength designation. This system brings the calibration procedure for the rigid sterile seed strands in line with the AAPM TG-40 recommendation for the rest of radioactive seed products. |
