AGREEMENT STATE REPORT FROM TEXAS: EQUIPMENT FAILURE THERAPY DEVICE AT HOSPITAL
"On October 28, 2004, during a routine inspection of the Licensee, an Agency inspector discovered equipment discrepancies involving a Nucletron Selectron Model 106 Low Dose Rate (LDR) therapy device that indicated equipment failures which had not been reported to this Agency. A series of eight equipment failures interrupted patient treatments between May 16, 2004 and June 4, 2004. Radiation doses for the patients were not ascertained. No patient was injured. The Licensee failed to report the failures to this Agency within 24-hours and in writing within 7-days. The Licensee failed to forward these discrepancies to its Radiation Safety Committee (RSC) for resolution. The Licensee failed to prepare written directives for any patient treated on the LDR therapy device. No doses were listed in the treatment plan or in the patient's record. ... The Licensee indicated that corrective action would be cessation of operation of the LDR therapy device."
