The following was received from the State … The following was received from the State of Oregon via facsimile:</br>The inpatient was having an Adenosine Myoview stress test. The Nuclear Medicine Technologist took the dose that was already in the dose calibrator (place there earlier by another Nuclear Medicine Technologist). It measured about the same activity as 99m-Tc Myoview would measure in the dose calibrator. The Nuclear Medicine Technologist gave the patient 37.4 millicuries of 99m-Tc DTPA (lung ventilation dose) instead of 30 millicuries of 99m-Tc Myoview. The route of administration for 99m-Tc DTPA is inhalation and the route of administration for 99m-Tc Myoview is intravenous. The 99m-Tc DTPA was intended for a different patient. The patient was informed of the mistake and the stress test will be repeated tomorrow (8/22/13). The ordering physician was also notified of the event. There were no adverse effects to the patient, just delayed the study.</br>This will be reported at the next Radiation Safety Committee Meeting along with any actions that will be taken to prevent this in the future.</br>Oregon Event Number: 13-0031</br>* * * RETRACTION ON 9/4/13 AT 1310 EDT FROM RICK WENDT TO DONG PARK * * *</br>This item is ready for closure.
