| event text = The following information was received from the State of Texas via email:
On 2/22/12 the licensee notified the Agency [Texas Department of State Health Services] of a medical event that occurred on 2/16/12.  The licensee reported that the wrong radiopharmaceutical had been administered to a patient. Tc-99m MAA was administered rather than the prescribed Tc-99m Pertechnitate. During the administration of the wrong drug, an estimated 1/3-1/2 of the dose infiltrated the skin causing an estimated 400 rad exposure subcutaneously. The referring physician and patient have been notified. No signs or symptoms have been observed in the patient as a result of the incident. The estimated exposure is being reevaluated by the licensee.
