| AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - ARIZONA |
| |
| The following information was obtained from the Arizona Radiation Regulatory |
| Agency via facsimile: |
| |
| "On May 27, 2003, a patient was administered 27 mCi of Iodine-131 (Iodide) |
| instead of the prescribed dose of 5 mCi. Initial investigation indicates |
| that Medi-Physics Inc. had mistakenly sent a 27 mCi dose designated for AMI |
| to Phoenix Baptist Hospital and the 5 mCi dose for Phoenix Baptist Hospital |
| to AMI. It appears that the 27 mCi dose had been accurately assayed by the |
| Technician, had been noted to differ from the requested 5 mCi, but had been |
| administered to the patient anyway. It should also be noted that the |
| patient had a thyroid ablation procedure conducted previously. Medi-Physics |
| Inc. and Phoenix Baptist Hospital are investigating the situation and a |
| report from each will be forthcoming. |
| |
| "The Agency and licensees will continue to investigate this occurrence and |
| report further." |
