28 ATOMLAB 500 DOSE CALIBRATOR
Easy to read and intuitive to use, the Atomlab 500 touch screen display prompts users to
Advance effortlessly and logically though the Dose Calibrator (Chapter 3), Utilities (Chapter 4),
Nuclear Pharmacy (Chapter 5), and Dose Calibrator Quality Assurance (Chapter 6) programs.
The following basic prompts appear throughout the program and, unless otherwise noted,
always perform the following functions:
• <Home> Returns the system to the Home screen.
• <►> Advance one screen.
• <◄> or <Back> Returns to the previous screen.
• <▲> Scroll Up (On some screens, holding on this icon increases scroll speed.)
• <▼> Scroll Down (On some screens, holding on this icon decreases scroll speed.)
• <Clear> Erases all user entries to fields on the current screen.
• <Cancel> or <X> Cancels any entry and returns the user to the previous screen.
• <Enter> , <Yes> or <√> Confirms any entry and advances to the next screen.
• <BS> Moves the cursor one space back, deleting the previous keystroke, on any keypad.
• <Print> Prints the currently displayed screen or report.
• <Print Labels> Prints various labels based on the function currently selected.
NOTE: When a Wipe Test Counter (#086-331) is added to the Atomlab 500, the system
automatically recognizes the additional detector and displays the Home screen for both the
detector and the wipe counter.
The Dose Calibrator Program
From the Home screen, touch <Dose Calibrator> to access the Dose Calibrator screen. At this
screen the system operates as a dose calibrator. A list of isotopes is displayed along with time,
date, detector #, measured activity, and Activity Units. The measured activity is the real time
activity being measured in the detector for the first (most left) isotope displayed.
The Dose Calibrator screen activity reading defaults to the last selected isotope, or to Tc-99m if
no isotope has been previously selected. The system selects the most recently used units of
measure (mCi or Becquerels,) or defaults to mCi if units have not been previously selected.
In addition to counting isotopes, the Dose Calibrator screen allows the user to <Zero Background>,
<Select Detector> if multiple detectors are connected, <Select Isotope>, perform <Dose Calculation>,
or <Print Labels> for the current activity in the detector. There are two types of labels that print.
