Florida BRC received notification of a medical event which occurred at UF Health Jacksonville. A patient received an I-125 seed for breast localization surgery. The seed was implanted on Wednesday October 15, 2025, and was intended to be removed on October 16, 2025. On October 16, 2025, the patient required an emergency surgery, which included receiving a stent, resulting in the patient's inability to receive additional surgeries for approximately 3 months. The patient and physician are aware of the situation, and the facility is working towards determining non-surgical options. The NRC has received notification due to the expectation that the received dose will be greater than 20 percent of the intended dose. The facility has been requested to provide the patient's expected dose and received dose. The incident, and the NRC, will be updated when this information is received.
