18
F-NaF emit gamma
radiation. Operator should exercise extreme caution when handling
radiopharmaceuticals. Doses may exceed maximum permissible dose if appropriate
precautions are not properly exercised. Follow all individual facility guidelines for the
handling and disposal of radioactive materials. DO NOT open the Shielded Chamber
without first taking radiation precautions per facility procedures.
CAUTION: Incorrect installation of the SAS may result in improper functioning
of the Intego™ PET Infusion System.
• Ensure the Saline Container is sufficiently spiked.
• Confirm the tubing is placed correctly in the Saline Pump.
• Confirm the tubing is oriented on the Saline Pump rollers properly.
