EN Revision Text: AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - … EN Revision Text: AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - MISADMINISTRATION OF RADIUM-223 TO PATIENT</br>The following was received via e-mail:</br>On January 18, 2019, the Texas Department of State Health Services was contacted by the licensee's radiation safety officer (RSO) and notified that they had a treatment error occur at their facility. The error occurred to a patient who was to be treated with multiple fractions of radium-223. The treatment was to relieve bone pain in the patient. The dose from each fraction was based on the weight of the patient. The fraction activity was determined to be 75 microCuries based on the weight in pounds of the patient involved. The technician involved with administering the dose mistook the weight units and ordered the fraction dose based on the patients weight measured in kilograms. As a result the patient was administered 165 microCuries of radium-223 instead of the 75 microCuries. The error was discovered as they were preparing to administer the second dose (The date of the first dose was not provided). The RSO stated the patient and prescribing physician have been contacted and notified of the error. The RSO stated the patient would not experience any adverse effects from the dose received. The RSO stated the patient's treatment going forward is being reviewed. The RSO stated they would provide a written report next week.</br>At 1530 hours the Agency contacted the RSO and confirmed the dose to the patient. The RSO stated the dose to the bones from the activity given would be 693 rad instead of 315 rad.</br>Additional information will be provided as it is received in accordance with SA-300.</br>Texas Department of State Health Services Incident Number 9651</br>* * * RETRACTION AT 1558 EST ON 2/21/2019 FROM ART TUCKER TO MARK ABRAMOVITZ * * * </br>The following report was received via e-mail:</br>This event was determined not to be a reportable event.
