EN Revision Text: AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - PATIENT RECEIVED DOSE LESS THAN PRESCRIBED
The following information was provided by the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (the Agency) via email:
"The Radiation Safety Officer for Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, contacted the Agency on 4/12/2022 to advise of a Y-90 microsphere administration in which the patient received only 70 percent of the prescribed dose. Of note, the [authorized user] noticed sluggish flow during the first flush of saline through the device, possibly due to a kink in the micro catheter as it exits the base catheter. No contamination or other issues were identified. No adverse patient impacts are expected. The [authorized user] was satisfied that the dose was adequate as delivered and will assess with MRI in 1 month as per protocol. The Agency will dispatch inspectors to review procedures and determine a root cause."
