NAC459.5933. Electronic brachytherapy devices: Calibration of dosimetry system.  


Latest version.
  •      1. For an electronic brachytherapy system, calibration of the dosimetry system must include the source and energy in use and must use an established protocol such as the TG-21 protocol established by the American Association of Physicists in Medicine.

         2. A registrant shall ensure that a dosimetry system is available to take measurements during a quality assurance check. This system may be the same system used for calibrating the electronic brachytherapy system pursuant to NAC 459.5932.

         3. A registrant shall keep a record of each calibration, intercomparison and comparison of the dosimetry system for the duration of the registration. The record must include:

         (a) The date of the calibration, intercomparison or comparison;

         (b) The model number and serial number of the system which was calibrated, intercompared or compared;

         (c) The name of the person who performed the calibration, intercomparison or comparison; and

         (d) If an intercomparison is performed, evidence that the intercomparison was performed by, or under the direct supervision of, the authorized medical physicist for electronic brachytherapy of record.

         4. A registrant shall furnish a copy of all survey and calibration records to the Division within 30 days after the completion of the survey or calibration.
