Who is to perform required calibrations of sources used for manual brachytherapy?
Section 35.432 allows for these measurements to be provided by the source manufacturer or an American Association of Physicists in Medicine-accredited calibration laboratory, or to be performed by the licensee. The licensee is responsible for ensuring that the calibration requirements of ยง35.432 are met, regardless of who performs the measurements. For licensees who perform their own source calibrations, the rule does not specify a particular staff position among the licensee’s staff who is to perform the calibrations.
