Moly Assay Results
If the measured Tc99m activity is below 1.0 mCi, the error message “ACTIVITY TOO LOW –
ANY KEY TO CONTINUE” will appear. Press any key (except HOME) to continue. The Tests
Menu will re-appear.
The Mo99/Tc99m ratio is calculated and displayed.
The ratio is compared to the allowable value (which can be changed in Moly Setup –
Reference CHAPTER 6: CHAMBER INITIALIZATION, SECTION: MOLY ASSAY SETUP)
and the time when the ratio will exceed this limit is calculated.
If the calculated time limit is less than 12 hours, a usage message is displayed depending
upon the useable time for the elution. An example of such a case is Figure 10-18
Mo99/Tc99m Exceeds Limits Screen.
0.058 µCi/mCi
DO NOT USE AFTER
