On 24 Feb. 2020, at 1315 EST, an underdose of radiation to a patient receiving skin therapy occurred. The patient was scheduled to receive five fractions, at 7.5 grays per fraction, on five different parts of the left hand per fraction. On the first dose of the first fraction, it was observed that catheter numbers 1 - 15 were reversed, causing an underdose to the patient. No Authorized Users were exposed to the source or otherwise contaminated. The licensee has agreed to submit further information on 26 Feb 2020. Since the cause of this incident is machine generated, in accordance with BRC [State of Florida Bureau of Radiation Control] procedures, it is not being given an incident number, and is being forwarded to ERCX [the X-Ray Machine Section of the BRC]. | On 24 Feb. 2020, at 1315 EST, an underdose of radiation to a patient receiving skin therapy occurred.
