Following completion of treatment, a review of the Treatment Planning on Oncentra TPS revealed a reference length of 1223 mm instead of 1323 (expected value +/- 1 mm). The reference length used in the TPS was measured prior to CT with the SPS (Source Position Simulator) by two physicists. Therefore, the radiation was 10 cm short from reaching the target which explains the occurrence of burns on the patient's thighs.</br>The three prescribed fractions were delivered on: 3/31/14, 04/07/14 and 04/14/14.</br>Florida Incident Number: FL14-043</br>The device used is an HDR containing Ir-192 with a Capri Applicator.</br>A corrective action plan has been developed by the licensee to prevent recurrence.
