Does the 500 mrem apply per patient visited or 500 mrem per individual who visits the patient?
No. The pre-authorized elevated limit of 500 mrem applies to the total dose accumulated by the visitor through visits (one or more) to a particular individual who cannot be released under § 35.75. The 500 mrem is the annual dose limit, with pre-authorization, for an individual member of the public from the licensed operations of a single medical use licensee. b) The pre-authorized elevated limit of 500 mrem applies to the total dose accumulated by a visitor through visits (one or more) to a particular individual who cannot be released under § 35.75. If pre-authorized by the authorized user for the individual who cannot be released under § 35.75, multiple visitors to the individual could receive up to 500 mrem each through visits (one or more) to the individual. Refer to “Supplementary Information,” Section II, “Petitions for Rulemaking (PRM)” and Section III, “Summary of Public Comments and Responses to Comments” for 10 CFR § 20.1301(c), as published in the Federal Register on April 24
