On 09/27/06 a patient was receiving a 10 fraction dose for Mammo-site Breast Brachytherapy using a HDR afterloader with a total prescribed dose of 3400 RAD. A problem with the PLATO planning computer digitized the breast image using an incorrect treatment factor which doubled the fractional dose. The same total prescribed dose was delivered but in 5 vice 10 fractional doses. The patient was made aware of the error on 09/27/06. Tissue necrosis was observed due to the procedure, but it is being evaluated if any additional necrosis occurred due to the delivery of the total dose in 5 fractions vice the 10 planned fractional doses. The licensee is taking corrective action to prevent a reoccurrence of this type of error. </br>* * * UPDATE FROM FSME (FLANNERY) TO KNOKE ON 02/28/07 * * *</br>This event has been reviewed and determined to be a reportable medical event.</br>* * * UPDATE FROM OHIO DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH (MARK LIGHT) TO HUFFMAN ON 03/01/07 AT 1000 EST * * *</br>The State provided the following update to this report via facsimile:</br>On September 28, 2006, the licensee notified the ODH Bureau of Radiation protection that they had an event which did not meet the reporting requirement of a medical event but they were revising their HDR program to prevent a recurrence.

The patient received 5 fractions of 680 rad for a total dose of 3400 rad.
