AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - MEDICAL EVENT

The following is a summary of the information provided by the Kansas Departments of Health and Environment (Department) via email:

On September 29, 2025, the University of Kansas Hospital Authority reported that a patient had received a seed for localized treatment of a tumor in their breast tissue. The seed was inserted on July 30, 2025. The patient returned the following day, very ill, was evaluated, and found to have an infection. The physician determined that surgery for removal of the seed would need to be delayed, and the seed could not be removed before October 2, 2025. The dose calculation shows that 5 rem total effective dose equivalent will be reached on October 2, 2025. This report is open and more details are expected following a reactive inspection by the Department.
