  • Patent number: 8175890
    Abstract: An algorithm for generating of a program, as well as an associated method for handling of radioactive pharmaceuticals by a pharmacy so that data may be maintained on the acquisition, dispensing and handling of the radioactive pharmaceuticals and the disposition thereof. The algorithm and method allow for data to be electronically introduced in generally temporal relationship to the performance of physical activities. In addition, the algorithm and the method allow for computerized generation of required governmental reports, which thereby reduces the amount of manual operator attention which would otherwise be required. In addition, the algorithm and method allows for periodic information to be sent to quality control assurance personnel for generation of reports and information by such personnel.

  • Patent number: 8145502
    Abstract: An algorithm and associated program for performing method steps in the maintaining of records and generating of reports used in the processing of radioactive pharmaceuticals. The algorithm is used as the basis of a program which can accomplish this method automatically. The method involves the determination of dose, the acquisition of the materials, scheduling for the issuance of doses and for future doses, the actual monitoring and control of material and equipment disposal. The algorithm and method are also adapted for the generation of reports on a periodic basis. In short, the method performed by the algorithm allows for an automation through a computer system and this, in turn, allows for the automatic processing of the steps performed and the controls involved in the dispensing of radioactive pharmaceuticals and automatically allows for the generation of governmental and other reports therefor.

  • Publication number: 20110029445
    Abstract: A computer includes a memory and a processor, the memory having instrul. A computer-implemented method, a computer comprising a storage device, a memory and a processor, the storage device having instructions stored therein. The instructions, which when executed by the processor, causes the computer to (1) receive, at the production module, a request for production of a radioactive pharmaceutical; (2) verify, utilizing a training module on the computer, completion by the user of at least a training program corresponding to production of the radioactive pharmaceutical; (3) verify completion by the user of equipment calibration requirements and equipment qualification requirements for the equipment that is used in the production of the radioactive pharmaceutical; and (4) prevent access to further operations of the production module if the training program has not been completed, the equipment calibration requirements have not been completed or the equipment qualification requirements have not been completed.

  • Publication number: 20040039241
    Abstract: An integrated process and algorithm enabling that process in the handling, providing, distribution or generating reports relating to radioactive isotope irradiated nuclear medicine, and particularly, radioactive pharmaceuticals, including maintenance of data with integrated data communications occurring between at least two or more databases, such as that, for example, a radioactive pharmaceutical supplier and a user of said radioactive pharmaceuticals. Acquisition of data by the pharmacy or the end user can be automatically electronically transmitted to the other, and the required governmental reports dealing with radioactive pharmaceuticals can then be generated automatically acquired data and transmitted to required governmental agencies. The algorithm and process also provide for transmitting data to and receiving process data from associated third parties necessary in connection therewith, including, for example, quality control personnel and the like.
