| Title | Agreement State Report - Contamination Event |
| Event Description | The following information was received from the State of Illinois via email:
Advocate Condell Medical Center called to report that a patient treated with 200 mCi of I-131 on 5/10/17, subsequently released on 5/12/17, had returned to the hospital's ICU unit that same night with unrelated complications and a contamination event occurred. Her husband and her doctor both called the hospital prior to her arrival to inform them of her previous treatment with I-131. They were able to prepare for her arrival and prep the ER in plastic. She was admitted to ICU and later transferred to a regular hospital room. The only contamination is from the plastic covering the mattress, which is being stored for decay and from when the nurse drained a Foley catheter and a drop of urine ended up on the floor. Cleaning did not totally remove it. The hospital decided they did not need the room and it has been closed to allow for decay. Additional surveys are to be conducted. The patient has since been released. The licensee will follow up with a written report. NMED Item Number: IL177004 |
