Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
A licensee providing mobile medical service shall:
a) Prior to bringing radioactive material
				into a remote use location, obtain a letter, signed by the management of the
				client for whom services are rendered, that clearly delineates the authority
				and responsibility of the licensee and the client and authorizes use of
				radioactive material at the client's address of use.
b) Transport to each address of use only
				those syringes or vials containing prepared radiopharmaceuticals or
				radiopharmaceuticals that are intended for reconstitution of
				radiopharmaceutical kits.
c)
				Provide services in accordance with the client's specific medical license, when
				providing services that the client is also authorized to provide.
d) Check instruments used to measure the
				activity of unsealed radioactive material for proper function before medical
				use at each client's address or on each day of use, whichever is more frequent.
				At a minimum, the check for proper function required by this subsection shall
				include a constancy check.
e)
				Before releasing a use location for unrestricted use, monitor all areas of use
				with a radiation detection survey instrument to ensure that all radioactive
				materials and all associated radioactive wastes have been removed.
AGENCY NOTE: 32 Ill. Adm. Code 340, Appendix A may be used as
				  a guideline for this purpose.
f) Check
				survey instruments for proper operation with a dedicated check source before
				use at each client's address.

				Secure or keep under constant surveillance and control all radioactive material
				when in transit and at a location of use.
h) Not have radioactive material delivered

k) Retain the record of monitoring required
				by subsection (e) of this Section for 5 years. The record shall include the
				monitoring date, an annotated diagram of each area that was monitored, the
				measured dose rate at several points in each area of use expressed in units,
				multiples or subunits of Sieverts (or rem) per hour, the manufacturer, model
				and serial number of the instrument used to perform the monitoring and the
				identity of the individual who performed the monitoring.
l) Retain a record of all dosages
				administered under the service's license for 5 years after the date of
