- Max. activity per unit: 10 GBq.
- Max. activity at admin: 2.2 GBq.
Applicator
For safe, ergonomic, handling of carpoules:
- Rhenium-188 carpoule is loaded into the applicator.
- Allows a targeted application of the compound to the special foil above the lesion.
- Offers the user protection and precise handling.
Base Station
Transport Unit, containing the carpoules, is inserted into the base station:
- Homogenises the radioactive compound inside the carpoule.
- Loads the carpoule into the applicator.
Measurement Station
Determines the activity of the carpoule before and after each application:
- The applicator is positioned in the Measurement Station to perform the activity measurements.
- In order to calculate the treatment time, the Carpoule is again measured for residual activity after the application.
