NRC Information Notice 94-37, "Misadministration Caused by a Bent        
Interstitial Needle During Brachytherapy Procedure, to be issued May 27, 
1994.                                                                    
                                                                         
NRC is alerting licensees of an incident involving an interstitial needle
bent inside the patient's body during a high-dose-rate procedure with an 
Omnitron 2000 brachytherapy system. The bend in the Omnitron interstitial
needle, through which the radioactive source travels, prevented the      
source from retracting beyond the point of the bend.  This resulted in   
the actual radiation dose received by the patient exceeding the          
prescribed dose by approximately 75 percent.
