| Title | Hospital Informed of Pregnancy After Dose |
| Event Description | On 5/3/06 Munson Medical Center administered a 150 mCi oblation dose of I-131 for thyroid cancer to a patient. Before the dose was administered the patient signed a form indicating that she was not pregnant. The dose was dispensed to the patient around 10 am.
On 5/22/06 the patient called Munson Medical Center indicating that she had discovered that she was pregnant at the time of the dose. The licensee determined a calculated dose to the unborn child of 40 Rem. The patient was not yet informed of the dose to the unborn child at the time of the report. Expected medical effects of the dose are either immediate abortion or no harm since at the time of the dose organ development was not expected to have occurred. The licensee is reviewing their current policy to determine actions to prevent recurrence. |
