A provincially run Manitoba facility that creates crucial materials used to detect cancer has once again failed its Health Canada inspection, for many of the same reasons it failed its last inspection in late 2023.A file photo shows a picture of a human brain taken by a positron emission tomography scanner, also called PET scan.
The isotopes produced in Winnipeg are used to create the radioactive material — often called a tracer — that is injected into patients during a positron emission tomography, or PET, scan. Further enforcement options are on the table, said the spokesperson, which could include temporarily pulling the facility's licence.
Of the five deficiencies found in the latest inspection, four were also noted in 2023, "which reflects that not all of the complex remediation work has been completed yet," wrote the spokesperson.
