| Event Description | A patient had a physicians order to perform a diagnostic whole body scan but the two technologists over-looked that the patient did not have a written directive to give the patient 4.1 millicuries of Iodine-131. The patient got the correct dose of Iodine-131 for his diagnostic whole body scan.
The licensee stated that they were operating under Departmental Protocol for Thyrogen Whole Body Iodine doses.
Based on discussions with NRC personnel, the licensee does not consider this to meet the criteria of a medical event. This event is retracted. Notified R1DO (C. Hott) and NMSSEO (G. Morell) |
