What is the definition of “emergency response equipment” under 64E-5.625(9), FAC?
Emergency response equipment is equipment to respond to a source (1) dislodged from the patient or (2) lodged within the patient following removal of the source applicators and should include shielded storage containers, remote handling tools and, as appropriate, supplies necessary to remove applicators or sources from the patient. Responders should also have ready access to an appropriate survey instrument, which is often needed for locating dislodged sources and/or for assessing doses to people from dislodged sources.
