AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - CATHETER LEAKAGE DURING TREATMENT
"The Division of Radiological Health was notified on Tuesday March 26, 2013, by a representative from Vanderbilt [University], of a misadministration. A patient was treated January 29, 2013, with Iodine 131-MIBG [metaiodobenzylguanidine]. The patient stayed in the hospital for 4 days until February 2, 2013. Foley catheter leakage occurred during this interval, but not recognized as a misadministration because there was no visible effect.
"The patient returned for a second treatment on March 19, 2013, at that time a rash was noted and attributed to the catheter leakage during the initial treatment in January.
"Inspectors from the Nashville Field Office will [request additional information and] follow-up and keep NRC informed of the status of our investigation."
Tennessee Division of Radiological Health Report Number: TN-13-044
A Medical Event may indicate potential problems in a medical facility's use of radioactive materials. It does not necessarily result in harm to the patient.
