The following report was received via emai … The following report was received via email:</br>On March 16, 2017, a patient was prescribed a 12.16 milliCurie treatment dosage of Y-90 Sirspheres. As the AU (Authorized User) was pushing on the syringe he noticed a strong resistance, as did the interventional radiologist. Therefore, the administration was stopped to prevent any further safety issues. The micro catheter was pulled from the patient and the vial with the micro catheter and other radioactive waste was put in the jar for measuring. As the micro catheter was pulled, a very small defect was observed. The activity administered was 53% less than the prescribed dosage (5.64 milliCuries). The outer wrapping of the catheter was kept. The patient will be notified once recovered from the anesthesia.
