| Event Description | The following report was received from the State of California via email:
On July 10, 2020, the Radiation Safety Officer for the University of California, Los Angeles, notified the Radiologic Health Branch of a Medical Event that occurred with a Varian High Dose Afterloader with an Ir-192 source during an ovarian cancer treatment. The prescribed dose to the intended organ was 24 Gray (2400 rad). Due to an incorrect entry of the catheter length into the treatment delivery system, an unintended dose of 21.8 Gray (2180 rad) was estimated to have been delivered to the large bowel. The dose delivered to the intended organ was initially estimated at 0 Gray (0 rad). The patient and the patient's physician were notified. The licensee's investigation into this medical event is ongoing and will be reviewed further by the California Department of Public Health California 5010 report no: 071020 A Medical Event may indicate potential problems in a medical facility's use of radioactive materials. It does not necessarily result in harm to the patient. |
