Dear Radsafers:

Anyone out there using the Novoste Beta-Cath system (Sr-90) for
treatment of restenosis?  Our radiation oncology and interventional
radiology groups are gearing up to participate in the clinical trial of this
device.  I have seen the NRC's information notice regarding problems
with this device.  The problems appear to be a combination of design and
operational problems, some of which include inadequate training.

Any insights, model training programs, recommendations, etc. would be
greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Mack R.
