Title	Medical Event - Actual Dose Differed from Prescribed Dose
Event Description	An NRC Region I Inspector (Abogundi) performed an inspection at the licensee facility and determined that a medical event occurred and should have been reported. In May, 2011, a patient received prostate LDR (Low-Dose Rate brachytherapy) treatment using 86 Pd-103 seeds for a prescribed dose of 125 Gy. During post-treatment evaluation, it was determined that the patient received between 72% and 75% of prescribed dose. The prescribing physician was notified and will not be notifying the patient due to treatment success. A Medical Event may indicate potential problems in a medical facility's use of radioactive materials. It does not necessarily result in harm to the patient. * * RETRACTION FROM SARAH BULL TO HOWIE CROUCH AT 1130 EST ON 2/4/13 * * * After reviewing their reporting procedures and in consultation with their Regional NRC Inspector (Abogundi), the licensee determined that this event did not meet their activity-based (versus dose-based) reporting criteria. Based on this information, the licensee has retracted this event notification. Notified R1DO (Powell) and FSME Resource via email.
