| 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. |
