CAUTION: When using radioactive materials, use safe and proper handling techniques. See your

Radioactive decontamination procedures
An increase in counts without a known radioactive source may indicate radioactive contamination of environment,
probe or accessories. If high count is detected in absence of a radioactive source, then probe and collimator should be
cleaned with a radioactive decontaminant solution (e.g., Radiacwash®).
Follow standard nuclear medicine decontamination techniques. Wash probe with a decontaminant solution (e.g.
Radiacwash®) using a soft gauze pad. Pay particular attention to cleaning recesses, crevices and mating surfaces
with a soft brush. Do not scratch or abrade surfaces. Treat spent cleaning solution as radioactive waste and do not
allow it to contaminate other surfaces. Dispose of pads and cleaning solution in approved containers.
