  • InjuryJun 25, 2024Use of Device Problem; Use of Device Problem

    PATIENT WAS TREATED ON THE (B)(6) MACHINE, SUFFERED AN ACCIDENT ON (B)(6) 2024 AT AROUND 10:30 IN THE MORNING. IT WAS HIS FIRST SESSION AND WHEN TRYING TO TAKE AN IMAGE FOR POSITIONING, THE TECHNICIANS WERE UNABLE TO DO SO DUE TO THE LASERGUARD BEING ACTIVATED. THERAPIST DISABLED THE LASERGUARD AND TOOK THE IMAGE. WHEN STARTING THE TREATMENT ITSELF, IN THE ARC WHERE THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED, THE TABLE WAS AT A 20-DEGREE ANGLE AND THE TECHNICIANS FORGOT TO TURN THE LASERGUARD BACK ON. THE COLLIMATOR COLLIDED WITH THE PATIENT'S ELBOW, CAUSING AN INJURY (CUT) AND A DISLOCATION IN THE SHOULDER. TESTS WERE CARRIED OUT ON THE LASERGUARD WITH THE MEDICAL PHYSICS TEAM AND AT NO TIME DID IT FAIL TO DETECT AND ALSO AT NO TIME DID IT FAIL TO INFORM ON THE CONSOLE DISPLAY WHEN IT WAS DEACTIVATED (TEST PERFORMED 10 TIMES). THE LASERGUARD CALIBRATION WAS CHECKED AND ALL PARAMETERS WERE AS SPECIFIED SO THAT IT WAS PERFECTLY ALIGNED. ISSUE ATTRIBUTED TO USER ERROR, WHEN USER DID NOT TURN ON LASERGUARD BEFORE ROTATING GANTRY AFTER IMAGING.
