A SELF-CONTAINED,PORTABLE SYSTEM FOR DISPENSING STERILE,NON-PYROGENIC,ISOTONIC SOLUTIONS CONTAINING TECHNETIUM-99M,PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF SAID SOLUTIONS AND A RADIOISOTOPE GENERATOR FOR USE IN SAID SYSTEM

摘要

A system is provided for the production of sterile, non-pyrogenic isotonic solutions of sodium pertechnetate. The system is comprised of a portable apparatus having contained in one unit a shielded column containing molybdenum-99 from which the technetium 99m is eluted, a reservoir of sterile isotonic saline solution, conduit means for transferring the solution to and from the column and dispensing the eluted radioisotope into a shielded vial from which the physician can extract the required amount.
