Administration Block 1

(For multi-dose or multi-injection protocols, duplicate this block for each administration event.)

Radiopharmaceutical Details

(Do not infer radiopharmaceutical identity or activity; document exactly as measured. If any required field cannot be obtained, enter "UTD" with reason.)

  • Assayed Activity: [Value] [MBq] ([mCi])
  • Dosage Determination Time: [Date and time corresponding to activity measurement]
  • Method: [Direct measurement / Decay correction]
  • Person Determining Dosage: [Name and role or credential]
  • Volume: [Volume in mL] (If captured.)
  • Residual Activity: [Not measured / Measured: value and units] (If measured, note whether net injected activity was calculated.)
  • Lot/Batch Number: [Value] (When available.)
  • Expiration/BUD: [Date and time] (When available.)

Administration Event

  • Route: [IV / PO / INH / ID / SC / Other]

  • Site: [Device type] [Anatomic location with laterality]
  • Administrator: [Name and role]
  • Line Patency/Flush: [Brief notation]

Injection Site Assessment

(This section must always be completed; never leave blank.)

  • Injection Uncomplicated: [Yes / No]

  • Patient informed of event and symptoms to monitor: [Yes / No]
  • Incident report completed: [Yes / No]

Administration Block 2

(Include only for multi-dose or multi-injection protocols. Remove this block if only one administration occurred. For additional events beyond two, duplicate block structure.)

  • Volume: [Volume in mL]
  • Residual Activity: [Not measured / Measured: value and units]
  • Lot/Batch Number: [Value]
  • Expiration/BUD: [Date and time]

Administration Event
