  • Patent number: 7737415
    Abstract: This invention is referred to a digital technetium Tc-99m generator obtained by incorporating devices to allow the control, verification and recording of all the operations performed by the generator. The invention includes a conventional traditional generator Mo-99/Tc-99m, using either a dry or wet column, such as the ones commercially available for use in nuclear medicine. The invention also includes an electronic sensor of elution; an eluted activity measurement sensor; and a device to measure the nuclear quality of the eluted Tc-99m. There is an electronic memory with information for the user regarding: Generator No., Lot No., activity, calibration and expiration dates. The invention also includes a communication interface, whether via RS232, USB, parallel Port or any other input-output port of a PC; a control, and user interface software.

  • Publication number: 20100035350
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for labeling and measuring the radio-chemical purity of a radio-drug product. There is a microprocessor (10) that is the core of the equipment, having a PC connection (11) and also a display (9) to send messages to the operator, and detectors (8) for the control operation of the radio-chemical purity and the regulated heater. The present invention also includes a partition vessel (7), a labeling vessel (12), and a regulated heater (130 that complete the set that defines the purposed device. The control is performed by the microprocessor (10) to accurately determine the temperature at which the product is labeled and the time during which it will be subject to the temperature. Also, the device allows measurement, in a few seconds, of the radio-chemical purity of the labeled products by introducing a drop of the already labeled product in a partition vessel (7).
