Title	Medical MISADMINISTRATION-DIAGNOSTIC
Event Description	The following information was provided by Alabama Radiation Control via email: The licensee reported that a patient was scheduled on 9/16/2022 for a 1-day protocol. The patient was scheduled to receive 36 millicuries of Tc-99m labeled sestamibi/Cardiolite. The patient mistakenly received 36 millicuries of Tc-99m sodium pertechnetate. This matter does appear to meet Alabama's criteria for a misadministration with approximately 1731.6 mrem WB EDE [whole body effective dose equivalent], the highest organ/tissue does appears to be to the wall of the upper large intestine at 7592.4 mrem. Alabama Radiation Control will provide more information as the investigation continues. Alabama Incident No.: 22-17 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.
