Emergency Procedures

CAUTION

: This page contains important information that should be available to the Pb200i user AT ALL

TIMES.

Lost or Stolen Instrument

If this instrument is lost or stolen, notify your Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) or the equivalent responsible
individual at your organization. The RSO must notify the local radiation regulatory authority and the local
police. In addition, please notify Heuresis of the loss.

Damaged Instrument

Minor damage:

If the instrument is intact but the case is cracked, the shutter mechanism has failed, or the warning lights
stay lit when the shutter should be closed, do the following:

1. Place the instrument securely in its protective shielded holster. This should eliminate any external

hazard from radiation.

2.  Place the instrument and holster securely in the instrument’s carrying case.
3.  Notify your organization’s RSO.
4.  Contact Heuresis for help and instructions.

Major damage:

If the instrument is not intact (i.e., the snout of the instrument is broken open, crushed, melted, etc.), do
the following:

1.  Do not touch or move the instrument.
2.  Establish a 10’ (2m) control area around the damaged instrument.
3.  Do not leave the area unattended.
4.  Approach the instrument only with a radiation survey meter capable of measuring in the millirem

range. Make sure you have proper training to perform this operation.

5.  Contact your organization’s RSO or equivalent individual.
6.  Contact hazardous materials response operations in your area for assistance, if required.
7.  Regulations vary by state, each branch of the military, and on property under exclusive federal

jurisdiction.

8.  Contact the local radiation regulatory authority and the local police.
9.  Contact Heuresis immediately for help and instructions.
10.  Conduct a contamination survey in the event of major damage.

Caution

: A broken instrument does not necessarily indicate radioactive contamination from the event.

While there may be radiation emitting from the instrument, the radioactive material may still be sealed in
the source capsule.
