{{#Regex_clear:This is a notification, pur … {{#Regex_clear:This is a notification, pursuant to 10 CFR 35.3045(a)(1), of a medical event that occurred on September 26, 2014, at the VA Palo Alto Health Care System, Palo Alto, California. </br>On September 26, 2014, a dosage of about 110 microCuries (�Ci) of radium-223 dichloride was administered to a patient. The prescribed dosage on the written directive was incorrectly written by the authorized user physician as 113.8 milliCuries (mCi). The basis for identifying this as a medical event is that the administered dosage differed from the prescribed dosage, as written on the written directive, by more than 20 percent. The authorized user physician was interviewed and stated that the intended prescription for injection was 113.8 �Ci of radium-223 dichloride. Another authorized user physician, the Chief, Nuclear Medicine Service, who administered the dosage, confirmed that this was an appropriate dosage for this patient. No harm to the patient is expected since the treatment was successfully performed with the administration of a dosage nearly identical to the intended dosage. The medical event was discovered October 5, 2016, during an unannounced inspection of this facility conducted by the National Health Physics Program (NHPP). The permittee is required to submit a written report to NHPP within 15 days of discovery. NHPP will, in turn submit the report to NRC per regulatory requirements. The NHPP inspection is ongoing to determine overall compliance with 10 CFR 35.40, 10 CFR 35.41, and 10 CFR 35.3045.</br>A Medical Event may indicate potential problems in a medical facility's use of radioactive materials.
