Section 335.7100 - Strontium-90 Sources for Ophthalmic Treatments

1) is identified as an ophthalmic physicist on a specific medical use license issued by the Agency, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, or Agreement State; a permit issued by the Agency, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, or Agreement State broad scope medical use licensee; a medical use permit issued by a U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission master material licensee; or permit issued by a U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission master material licensee broad scope medical use permittee; and

2) holds a master's or doctor's degree in physics, medical physics, other physical sciences, engineering, or applied mathematics from an accredited college or university; and

3) has successfully completed one year of full-time training in medical physics and an additional year of full-time work experience under the supervision of a medical physicist; and

4) Has documented training in:

1) Calculate the activity of each strontium-90 source that is used to determine the treatment times for ophthalmic treatments. The decay shall be based on the activity determined under Section 335.7070; and

2) Assist the licensee in developing, implementing, and maintaining written procedures to provide high confidence that the administration is in accordance with the written directive. These procedures shall include the frequencies that the individual meeting the requirements in subsection (a) or (b) will observe treatments, review the treatment methodology, calculate treatment time for the prescribed dose, and review records to verify that the administrations were in accordance with the written directives.

1) The date and initial activity of the source as determined under Section 335.7070; and

2) For each decay calculation, the date and the source activity as determined under this section.
