NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
OFFICE OF NUCLEAR MATERIAL SAFETY AND SAFEGUARDS
WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555 May 7, 1993 NRC INFORMATION NOTICE 93-36: NOTIFICATIONS, REPORTS, AND RECORDS OF
MISADMINISTRATIONS
Addressees
All U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission medical licensees.
Purpose
NRC is issuing this information notice to alert addressees to numerous
failures to satisfy all of the notification, reporting and recordkeeping
requirements in 10 CFR Part 35, "Medical Use of Byproduct Material,"
section 35.33, "Notifications, reports, and records of misadministrationsu
particularly as they relate to notification of patients. It is expected that
recipients will review the information for applicability to their facilities, or past required notifications with respect to misadministrations, and
consider appropriate actions to avoid or correct similar problems. However, information contained in this notice does not constitute new requirements, and
therefore, no specific action or written response is required. /
Description of Circumstances
The requirement to notify a patient of a misadministration has been part of
10 CFR Part 35 since the NRC promulgated the "Misadministration Reporting
Requirements" in 1980. The statements of consideration for the 1980 rule
declared that "patients have a richt to know when they have been involved in a
serious misadministration, unless this information would be harmful to them."
In promulgating the patient notification requirement, the Commission gave
explicit recognition to the fact that informing the patient might affect his
or her ability to assert legal rights. Over the years, the rule has varied in
certain respects, e.g., the types of misadministrations for which notification
to the patient is required and the types of records to be retained, as well as
the retention periods for records. However, the patient notification
requirement has been retained in the rulemakings modifying 10 CFR Part 35.
On January 27, 1992, the "Quality Management Program and Misadministrations"
(QM) rule became effective. In addition to requiring the licensee to
establish and maintain a written quality management program, this rule
modified the definition of misadministration and the requirements for
notifications, reports, and records of misadministrations. On
January 7, 1993, Information Notice (IN)93-04 was sent to all NRC medical
licensees on the investigation and reporting of misadministrations by the
Radiation Safety Officer. IN 93-04 emphasized that information licensees
provide to the Commission, regarding misadministrations, must be complete and
accurate in all material aspects.

'-2' IN 93-36 May 7, 1993 Since that time, NRC staff conducted a survey of data on therapeutic
misadministrations occurring at NRC licensed facilities over the past three
years (CY90-92). It revealed that, although the referring physician was
notified in 97 percent of misadministrations, the patient was verbally
notified in only 72 percent of misadministrations. A medical Judgment by the
referring physician that "informing the patient would be harmful" was only
cited in 32 percent of the misadministrations in which the patient was not
notified. In the remaining 68 percent, licensees provided other reasons for
not informing the patient such as, "no adverse effects expected," or that "the
dose was within acceptable clinical limits." These reasons are not part of
the exception to the requirement to notify the patient; therefore, the patient
should have been notified. Furthermore, in cases where the patient was
notified verbally, a written report was provided to the patient only
56 percent of the time. Written reports to patients significantly increased
from 46 percent before January 27, 1992, to 76 percent after that date, which
may reflect a change in the rule language to emphasize the requirement for the
licensee to provide a written report to the patient.
Discussion
The following discussion is to remind licensees of the specific requirements
contained in 10 CFR 35.33.
o 10 CFR 35.33(a)(1) requires that NRC licensees notify by telephone the
NRC Operations Center of a misadministration no later than the next
calendar day after discovery. Before January 27, 1992, licensees were
required to notify the appropriate NRC regional officewithin 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />
after discovery of a therapeutic misadministration.
o. 10 CFR 35.33(a)(2) requires that the licensee submit a written report to
the appropriate NRC Regional Office within 15 days after discovery of
the misadministration. This written report must include the licensee's
name; the prescribing physician's name; a brief description of the
event; why the event occurred; the effect on the patient; what
improvements are needed to prevent recurrence; actions taken to prevent
recurrence; whether the licensee notified the patient, or the patient's
responsible relative or guardian (this Rerson will be subsequentlv
referred to as "the patient" for the Duroose of this information notice)
and if not, why not; and if the patient was notified, what information
was provided to the patient. The report must nDt include the patient's
name or other information that could lead to identification of the
patient.
o 10 CFR 35.33(a)(3) requires that, for a misadministration, the licensee
notify the referring physician and the patient of the misadministration
no later than 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> after its discovery, unless the referring
physician personally informs the licensee either that he or she will
inform the patient or that, based on medical Judgment, telling the
patient would be harmful.
IN 93-36 May 7, 1993 The referring physician may make a decision that, based on medical
Judgment, informing the patient would be harmful. In this circumstance, the patient's responsible relative or guardian should be notified. The
regulatory history of the misadministration rule suggests that the
referring physician may also consider whether, based on medical
Judgment, telling the responsible relative (or guardian) would be
harmful to that individual. Thus, there could be situations in which
the licensee is not required to notify the patient o responsible
relative (or guardian) because the referring physician has personally
informed the licensee that, 'based on medical Judgment, telling the be
patient or the'patient's responsible relative (or guardian) would
harmful to one or the other, or both. However, this does not include
other reasons-for not informing the patient, such as: "no adverse
effects were expected"; 'dose was within acceptable clinical limits";
"no medical benefit to the patient"; 'not in the patient's best
interest"; or'"the patient has died." Although the Commission's
regulations do not define the terms 'responsible relative"'or
"guardian," in the absence of a definition, the terms should be given
their ordinary meanings: "responsible relative' is the relative who
-makes decisions regarding a patient when the patient cannot (e'.g.,
patient is a minor, patient is unconscious or incapable of comprehending
the information; or the patient-has died), usually the next-of-kin; and
"guardian" is that person legally responsible for the patient. These
ordinary definitions should be applied regardless of whether the patient
is living or deceased. If there is any confusion as to the identity of
the responsible relative (or guardian), the licensee has the
responsibility to determine the identity of that'person.
There is no basis in the language of IO'CFR 35.33 for the belief that
the misadministration reporting requirements cease to apply upon the
death of the patient. The purposes of the rule are not limited to
enabling the patient-or responsible relative (or guardian) to give
informed consent 'for further medical treatment, but include informing'
the patient or responsible relative (or guardian) about a
misadministration so that they may assert the patient's legal rights
with regard to the misadministration. Therefore, if the patient has
died, the family, in the person of the responsible relative (or
guardian), is still entitled to have the information contained in the
misadministration report.
O 10 CFR 35.33(a)(4) requires that, if the patient was notified, the
licensee furnish, within 15 days after discovery of the
misadministration, a written report to the patient by sending either:
