EN Revision Text: AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - MEDICAL EVENT
The following was received from the state of Iowa via e-mail:
"The licensee reported a potential medical event involving a prostate seed implant therapy. The procedure was performed on April 7, 2021 and the post plan CT scan was conducted on May 27, 2021. The CT scan revealed that a number of seeds were implanted outside of the treatment site. The licensee called and emailed Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) Radioactive Materials (RAM) staff on Friday, May 28, 2021. RAM staff, who were out on extended memorial day holiday, did not receive the email or phone message until June 1, 2021 when returning to the office. RAM staff has reached out to the licensee for additional information. RAM staff is intending to conduct a reactive inspection of the licensee [the first week in June]. The licensee will be providing the 15 day written report as required by rule. This event will be updated once the additional information requested from the licensee is received.
"Item Number: IA210002"
* * * UPDATE ON 06/04/2021 AT 1036 EDT FROM RANDAL DAHLIN TO JEFFREY WHITED * * *
The following was received from the Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) via e-mail:
"IDPH conducted an onsite investigation on June 3, 2021. This event is being updated based on that investigation.
"It appears that the iodine-125 seeds were implanted correctly on the day of the procedure, but due to swelling of the prostate and the 50 days until the post plan CT when the prostate swelling had reduced, the plan showed 16 seeds outside of the target volume. IDPH staff found no procedural problems with the licensees implant procedure. This possible event will be updated once again when the written report is received from the licensee."

* * * RETRACTION ON 06/07/2021 AT 1527 EDT FROM RANDAL DAHLIN TO LLOYD DESOTELL * * *
The following was received from the Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) via e-mail:
"On June 1, 2021 Iowa reported a potential medical event at Spencer Municipal Hospital (License number 0164-1-21-M1) involving Iodine-125 prostate implant seeds. This potential medical event occurred on April 7, 2021 and was discovered by the licensee on May 27, 2021 during their post procedure review. This event was reported to the State on May 28, 2021 and Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) Radioactive Materials Program (RAM) staff became aware of the event on June 1, 2021 after the long Memorial Day weekend.
"IDPH RAM staff conducted a reactive inspection at Spencer Municipal Hospital on June 3, 2021 to interview staff involved in the prostate treatment therapy procedure. IDPH staff determined that all seventy-one Iodine-125 seeds were implanted in the correct location of the prostate based on the treatment pre-plan and that when the post procedure CT scan was evaluated it was determined that sixteen seeds had migrated outside of the target volume. Therefore, this does not meet the definition of a reportable medical event per Iowa Administrative Code 641-38.2(136C).
"IDPH program staff had a meeting with NRC Region III staff (Darren Piccirillo and Geoff Warren) via Microsoft Teams on Monday, June 7, 2021 to discuss this potential medical event. Region III staff agreed with IDPH that this seed migration is not a reportable medical event.
"Therefore Iowa is retracting event number 55286 (IA210002)."
Notified R3DO (Kunowski) and NMSS Event Notifications (email).
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.

The following report was received from the North Carolina Division of Health Service Regulation via email:
"The facility had two I-125 prostate implant procedures scheduled for 5/26/2021, one from approximately 0800-1030 EDT and another one following that. During the preparation of the second patient, the [authorized medical physicist/ radiation safety officer] (AMP/RSO) realized he may have made a mistake inputting the source strength into the treatment planning computer. The treatment planning computer has two options for source strength (millicuries and air-kerma). He went back to verify and realized he had input the millicurie source strength (0.357 mCi) into the air-kerma strength (0.453 U) spot and not air-kerma. This resulted in the treatment planning computer to believe the activity of the sources were lower than they actually were and generated a plan off of this strength. This caused the delivered dosage to be 27 percent greater than the prescribed dosage (~1400 Gy not 1100 Gy). The referring physician was present for the procedure and was notified upon the realization of the error. The patient was still in recovery from the procedure and was informed by the authorized user as soon as he was recovered and able to receive the news, before leaving the facility. The AMP/RSO stated that no negative outcome was expected for the patient, as this was the first part of a two part treatment plan, with the second part being linear accelerator treatment on the prostate. The second part of the treatment can be adjusted to accommodate for the increased dose given during the permanent implant, with no expected harm to the patient."
