Dose Calibrator ISOMED 2010

With the Dose Calibrator ISOMED 2000, MED Nuklear-Medizintechnik has created an instrument combining highest performance and small footprint. The measuring system has been designed for complex applications in the clinical/ university field und in PET and research centers.

Benefits

Minimization of components, integration of all components into a flat housing, requiring only little set-up space. Integration into hot cells or laminar flow boxes possible.
State-of-the-art, powerful computer technology according to the industry standard (PC 104)
Flat LC display, 12.1" TFT with touch-screen operation, clearly structured presentation of measurement results and parameters
Menu-guided Windows-based software
Integration into network and combination with database system possible for radiopharmaceutical balancing and management
Integrated quality control according to the EN/DIN standard with protocol printout and date monitoring
Software includes program for radiopharmaceutical identity checks, e.g. during production of PET nuclides
User-specific result display through adjustable user interface
Comprehensive isotope table, calibrated for more than 30 nuclides, including nuclides for radio synoviorthesis (Y-90, Er-169, Re-186) and palliative pain therapy (Sr-89, Sm-153, Re-188) and for Ra-224 (Morbus Bechterew therapy)
Container (syringe size, ampoule, bottle, capsule) and contents are taken into account; important especially with ? sources
Measurement of the activity of all nuclides common in PET; measuring range up to 300 GBq; rapid determination of the bottled activity (T = 1 – 1.5 s)
Background measurement and compensation
Calculation of measured value for freely selectable application times
Allocation of measured value to patient possible. Network connection with patient database.
Reliable chute ionization chamber in various designs; high measurement accuracy, low position dependency of sample
Connection of several measurement chambers to one central electronics (multi-chamber concept)
Upgrade of measurement electronics with additional I/O ports, e.g. to control syringe filling machines
Combinable with:
- Laser scanners for reading barcodes
- Transponder readers for control of access rights
- Network systems
Expandable by user-specific software e.g.
- Depot management
- Nuclide management and balancing
Certified in accordance with Medical Product Act CE 0123

Syring filling system SAM

An essential factor for radiation exposure which may occur, for example, in the hot laboratory of a PET-CT system, is the process of drawing up the PET activity from the delivered supply container (e.g. 20 ml vial) into the syringe. If this process is carried out manually, there is a relatively high radiation exposure risk of the lab staff. MED offers an automated,shielded syringe filling system as an accessoryto the PC-based dose calibrator.
