| AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - MEDICAL MISADMINISTRATION                           |

|                                                                              |

| The licensee reported a medical misadministration involving High Dose Rate   |

| brachytherapy MammoSite treatment to a 70-year old female.  Upon             |

| administering the first of ten planned fractions it was noticed that the     |

| Ir-192 source did not reach the center of the balloon but was near the       |

| periphery 30 millimeters from the center.  The patient dose was reassessed   |

| and it was determined that the dose to the target area was less than planned |

| (56% of the planned dose).  The patient and the patient's physician were     |

| notified.  It has been determined that there were no adverse effects to the  |

| patient.  Corrective actions will address four factors contributing to the   |

| misadministration: wrong orientation of the patient during a CT scan; delays |

| in issuing the treatment plan due to a computer network failure;             |

| mis-communications regarding the specified treatment plan; and similarities  |

| between CT-based and radiographic-based printouts.                           |
