Any person authorized by Section 335.30 of this Part for medical use of radioactive material may receive, possess and use the following radioactive material for check, calibration, transmission, attenuation correction and reference use:

a)         Sealed sources not exceeding 1.11 GBq (30 mCi) each, manufactured and distributed by a person licensed under Section 335.30 of this Part or equivalent U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission or Agreement State regulations.

b)         Sealed sources, not exceeding 1.11 GBq (30 mCi) each, redistributed by a licensee authorized to redistribute the sealed sources manufactured and distributed by a person licensed under Section 335.30 of this Part, providing the redistributed sealed sources are in the original packaging and shielding and are accompanied by the manufacturer's approved instructions.

c)         Any radioactive material with a half-life not greater than 120 days in individual amounts not to exceed 0.56 GBq (15 mCi).

d)         Any radioactive material with a half-life longer than 120 days in individual amounts not to exceed the smaller of 7.4 MBq (200 mCi) or 1000 times the quantities in Appendix B of 32 Ill. Adm. Code 330.

e)         Technetium-99m in amounts as needed.

f)          Yttrium-90 in individual amounts not to exceed 4.6 GBq (125 mCi).

g)                  Gadolinium-153 in individual amounts not to exceed 22.2 GBq (600 mCi).
