Ariz. Admin. Code § R9-7-706 - Supervision
A. For purposes of
this rule, "supervision" means the exercise of control over or direction of the
use of radioactive material in the practice of medicine by an authorized user
named on a radioactive material license. Supervision does not require a
supervising physician's constant physical presence if the supervising physician
can be easily contacted by radio, telephone, or telecommunication.
B. A physician may use radioactive material
if the person is licensed by the Arizona Medical Board or Board of Osteo-pathic
Examiners in Medicine and Surgery and is listed as an authorized user on the
Arizona radioactive material license under which the radioactive material is
obtained.
C. A licensee that
permits the receipt, possession, use, or transfer of radioactive material by an
individual under the supervision of an authorized user, shall:
1. Instruct the supervised individual in the
licensee's written radiation protection procedures, written directive
procedures, rules, and license conditions with respect to the use of
radioactive material; and
2.
Require the supervised individual to follow the instructions of the supervising
authorized user for medical uses of radioactive material, written radiation
protection procedures established by the licensee, written directive
procedures, rules, and license conditions with respect to the medical use of
radioactive material.
D.
A licensee that permits the preparation of radioactive material for medical use
by an individual who is supervised by an authorized nuclear pharmacist or a
physician, who is an authorized user, shall:
1. Instruct the supervised individual in the
preparation of radioactive material for medical use, as appropriate to that
individual's involvement with radioactive material; and
2. Require the supervised individual to
follow the instructions of the supervising authorized user or authorized
nuclear pharmacist regarding the preparation of radioactive material for
medical use, written radiation protection procedures established by the
licensee, the rules, and license conditions.
E. A licensee that permits supervised
activities under subsections (C) and (D) is responsible for the acts and
omissions of the supervised individual.
F. A limited-service nuclear pharmacy
licensee shall dispense radiopharmaceuticals only to a physician listed as an
authorized user on a valid radioactive material license issued by the
Department, an Agreement State, or the NRC. For purposes of this rule
"limited-service nuclear pharmacy" is defined in
R4-23-110.
