Aspects of the new Product Design
Product and User Protection
The shielded safety workbench SWB15 was developed to ensure optimized product and radiation protection for the preparation of radiopharmaceuticals. The integrated laminar air flow unit generates clean room Class A conditions inside the working area. Additionally, an inward directed air flow guarantees that contaminated particles cannot leave the working area. The ventilation system is monitored and controlled permanently. The various operation modes will be adjusted automatically. The safety workbench is shielded with up to 50 mm lead. A moveable lead glass window which protects the user is installed at the front. Additionally, a lead shielded wall can be installed at the front. The appropriate inward air flow system and lead shielding protect the user all the time while working with radioactive substances.
Features & Equipment
The working area of the safety workbench consists of high- grade stainless steel. The working surface consists of three segments for easy removal to ensure proper cleaning. A dose calibrator can be integrated in the bottom of the working area. The software of the dose calibrator can be displayed on the monitor in the rear wall of the working area. Furthermore this monitor can be used for customer applications. Contaminated waste can be discharged safely through shielded openings in the bottom of the working area. Three LED segments indicate the operation modes of
the ventilation system, the generator and the waste storage. An unshielded drawer is integrated in the covering of the safety workbench at the front underneath the working area. The drawer can be used for the storage of disposables such as gloves and syringes.
Configuration for Tc-99m
The configuration for Tc-99m (SWB15-10Tc) allows to store up to two Tc-99m generators of the same or different types. All commercially available types of Tc-99m generators are supported. The generator safe is positioned underneath the workbench and shielded with 50 mm lead. The generators are automatically lifted to the height of the working area by pushing control buttons inside the working area. There is no need for the user to take the hands out of the working area while eluting the generator.
Configuration for Ga-68
There is a special configuration available for the preparation of radiopharmaceuticals based on Ga-68. The working surface is coated with polyethylene to avoid corrosion of the high-grade stainless steel when using hydrochloric acid. Furthermore, a shielded generator safe for up to two Ge-68/Ga-68 generators is positioned underneath the workbench. Feed- throughs between generator safe and working area allow the installation of lines for the elution of the generators.
