| Event Description | The following is a summary of information provided by the licensee via phone:
The licensee's radiation safety officer (RSO) was notified on 12/20/2024, at approximately 1130 CST of a medical event that occurred at Franciscan Health Munster in Munster, IN on 10/28/2024. A patient was prescribed a Y-90 TheraSphere treatment with a prescribed dose of 23.5 Gbq. The calculated administrated dose was 18.32 Gbq. This indicates an approximate 22 percent underdose. The licensee is continuing to investigate. 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.
The following information was provided by the licensee via phone: The event is being retracted due to the following reasons. The activity initially documented as prescribed corresponded to the quantity requested from the manufacturer. This activity is intended to decay to a specific dose by the time the procedure occurs. On the day of the procedure, the prescribed dose was 110 Gy, while the dose delivered was 89.1 Gy. The difference between these amounts is less than 20 percent, thus not subject to reporting. Notified R3DO (Nguyen), and NMSS Events Notification (email). |
