| Title | Utah Agreement State Report - Medical Event |
| Event Description | The State provided the following information via facsimile:
On July 11, 2006, the licensee indicated to a Division inspector that a 'misadministration' had occurred. The licensee sent a letter dated July 17, 2006, to the Division indicating that a 'medical event' had occurred. The letter did not contain sufficient information to determine if the incident was an actual medical event. Multiple attempts were made to contact the RSO who reported the incident to verify that it was a medical event. The RSO was on vacation during most of July 2006. The RSO contacted the Division by telephone on August 1, 2006, and confirmed that a medical event had occurred. Event Description: On June 19, 2006, two patients were scheduled at the same time for radioactive treatment of hyperthyroidism. One patient was scheduled for 15 mCi of I-131, and the other patient was scheduled for 29 mCi of 1-131. The patient who was scheduled for 15 mCi of 1-131 ingested 29.0 mCi of 1-131. The error was identified by the licensee prior to the administration of I-131 to the other patient. The other patient's dose was corrected, and the patients' physicians were informed of the incident.
