| Title | Agreement State Report - Medical Misadministration |
| Event Description | The following was received via email:
A patient arrived for a rest/stress imaging procedure on 11/24/14. The rest dose was written to be 8 mCi Tc-99m, and the stress dose was written to be 24 mCi Tc-99m. The patient received the rest dose as written and the scan was performed. The patient was then to receive the 24 mCi stress dose, but instead received a 5 mCi stress dose (same drug, but only 21% of the intended activity) that was intended as the rest dose for another patient. Once the error was discovered, the patient was informed of the error and sent home with the intention of rescheduling the procedure at a later date. The licensee will submit the 15 day report to VRMP [Virginia Radioactive Materials Program] at which time the corrective actions will be reviewed and verified during their next inspection. Virginia Incident #: VA-14-23 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.
This report is being retracted, because it does not meet 10CFR35.3045 criteria. Notified R1DO (Noggle) and NMSS Events Notification via email. |
