While administering the third vial, not all of the dose was received by the patient which resulted in the patient receiving 71.2 percent of the total expected dose. The cause of the patient not receiving the third full dose is still under investigation. This medical event is being reported as a dose that differs from the prescribed dose by more than 20 percent. 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 NRC regional office has been notified. |
