AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - LESS THAN PRESCRIBED DOSE ADMINISTERED TO PATIENT

The following information was provided by the State of New York via facsimile:

"On 04/05/2017, a patient with metastatic esophageal cancer received right hepatic lobar treatment [to the liver] with Y90 from SIRTEX microspheres.

"The intended activity was 32.9 mCi. Drawn activity was 32.7 mCi. The administered activity measured at the end of the procedure was 8.2 mCi [25 percent of intended activity].

"Probable cause stated by the licensee: 'clumping' of microspheres resulting in occlusion of vial 'delivery C' needle provided by the vendor. The licensee plans to (1) request review from the manufacturer of the preparation and handling of the microspheres prior to arrival to the IR suite, (2) Since the patient is already planned for a left lobar treatment, a whole liver treatment will be planned to deliver the deficit dose to the right lobe."

NY Event Report ID No. NYDOH-NY-17-06
