A patient was being treated with a high dose rate remote after loader unit and the fraction required 17 needles. After the first 15 needles had been treated, the licensee noticed that the patient's needles had been pulled out approximately 2 cm from where they had been placed due to unexpected movement of the patient's bed. The licensee has not yet determined how the patient's bed moved, as the patient was sedated during treatment.
