| Event Description | The following is a summary of an email from the state of Florida:
At 1600 [EST], the [Radiation Safety Officer] RSO called to report a radiation underdose. Following the procedure, the waste was collected and measured to calculate the actual activity delivered. The actual activity delivered was 0.76 GBq, 90 percent of the prescribed treatment dose. Post procedure, during the room survey, inside the Plexiglas Administration Box a high level of activity was detected. The box was placed in double bags and relocated to the waste storage area. An investigation into the event is ongoing to calculate the activity in the box following administration. No individuals were contaminated and there was no harm to the patient. Florida Incident Number: FL21-038 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. |
