Subscribers, 
     
Theratronics International Limited has issued a "User Bulletin" to GammaMed 
customers  as a result of four recent incidents involving source cable 
separation. 
     
CLARIFICATION HERE:
     
The bulletin refers to 4 incidents in which "...the source cable became 
separated from the driving mechanism." NOT separation of the source from the 
cable!...as grammatically semaphored in Mr. Myers' opening sentence above.
     
BIG, HUGE, GIGANTIC DIFFERENCE - Let's be more careful out there, even as we 
strive to be helpful. Thanks for your attention.

The bulletin has been sent to GammaMed 12i and 12it high dose rate afterloader 
users and to the radiation control programs in the Agreement States.  The 
bulletin describing Theratronics recommendations to users and actions being 
taken to remedy the situation is now posted at the OSP web site's "What's New" 
area.
