| Title | Non-Prescribed Dose Given to a Patient |
| Event Description | The prescribing physician ordered that a regular treadmill stress test be given to a patient. Instead of the correct test the hospital actually gave the patient a treadmill myocardial perfusion imaging test (MPIT) which uses a dose of Tc-99m.
At 9:44 AM on 5/19/08 the patient was given a dose of 16.3 milliCuries of Tc-99m for the resting portion of the MPIT. Then at 10:24 AM on 5/19/08 the patient was given a dose of 35.3 milliCuries of Tc-99m for the stress portion of the MPIT. This resulted in a total dose of 51.6 milliCuries of Tc-99m given to the patient which is typical for a MPIT procedure. The hospital is currently conducting an investigation into this occurrence. The hospital will inform the patient of the error.
Upon investigation the licensee has determined that the event does not meet the reporting requirements of 10 CFR 35.3045(a)(1). Notified the R3DO (Riemer) and FSME EO (Burgess). |
