Duri … The following was received via email:</br>During the administration of an yttrium-90 SIR Spheresr procedure, a portion of the dose began to leak out of the top of the vial containing the activity. To prevent contamination of the interventional radiographic suite, the medical physicist and authorized user aborted the administration. It is estimated that only 10 - 20% of the dose noted on the written directive was actually delivered to the patient. The patient and radiation safety officer were notified immediately following the cancellation of the administration and the patient has agreed to be treated again in the near future. Knowing the exact administered activity is nearly impossible given the characteristics of the procedure and radiopharmaceutical. No harm is expected to the patient.</br>The event seems to be due to a malfunction of the dose delivery system. It appeared to the interventional radiologist that the leak was located at the top of the dose vial and likely at the original puncture site of the radiopharmacy upon preparation of the dose for administration.</br>Event Report # PA150028</br>A Medical Event may indicate potential problems in a medical facility's use of radioactive materials.
