Patent number: 10994072Abstract: Infusion system configurations and assemblies facilitate routing of infusion circuit tubing lines. Tubing lines are routed into and out from compartments of a shielding assembly for the infusion system, at locations which prevent kinking and/or crushing of the lines, and/or provide for ease in assembling the circuit. A plurality of the lines may be held together by a support frame to form a disposable infusion circuit subassembly, that can further facilitate routing of the lines.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2016Date of Patent: May 4, 2021Assignee: Bracco Diagnostics Inc.Inventors: Charles R. Quirico, Ernest Balestracci, Rolf E. Swenson, Daniel D. Darst, Eric J. Krause, Vishal N. Lokhande, Jacob S. Childs

Patent number: 10991474Abstract: A shielding assembly for an infusion system includes a plurality of compartments and a door for each compartment, and provides a radioactive radiation barrier for the compartments. One of the compartments contains a radioisotope generator of the infusion system and another of the compartments may contain a waste bottle of the infusion system. An opening into each of the generator and waste bottle compartments may be oriented upward, and the opening into the latter may be at a higher elevation than the opening into the former, for example, to facilitate independent removal and replacement of each. A door of at least one of the compartments, other than the generator compartment, when closed, may prevent the door of the generator compartment from being opened. A cabinet structure for the infusion system may enclose the shielding assembly and secure the generator.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2018Date of Patent: April 27, 2021Assignee: Bracco Diagnostics Inc.Inventors: Charles R. Quirico, Ernest Balestracci, Daniel D. Darst, Eric J. Krause, Vishal N. Lokhande, Jacob S. Childs, Peter B. Madson, Daniel V. Clements

Patent number: 9114203Abstract: Shielding assemblies for systems that generate and infuse radiopharmaceuticals. The shielding assemblies include a sidewall that defines several compartments and provides a radiation barrier for the compartments and provides a passageway sized to accommodate routing of an eluate line from a radioisotope generator. One compartment is sized to contain the radioisotope generator. A second compartment is sized to hold a portion of an infusion circuit that may be an extension of the eluate line and may include a waste line and a patient line.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2010Date of Patent: August 25, 2015Assignee: Bracco Diagnostics Inc.Inventors: Charles R.
