WARNING: Radiation exposure hazard.
18
F-FDG or
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.
2. Check the PAS for air, including the connection points with the patient catheter and the
SAS.
3. If an air pocket is detected, disconnect the PAS from the patient catheter and prime the
tubing set again.
4. Reconnect the PAS to the patient catheter and initiate the saline test infusion.
During an Infusion
1. Confirm that the SAS is properly inserted into the Air Detector. If necessary, slide the lid to
the Shielded Chamber open only far enough to expose the Air Detector and properly
insert the SAS.

3. If an air pocket is detected disconnect the PAS from the patient catheter and discard.
4. Press the DISCARD button, which discards the current dose.
5. Attach a new PAS.
6. Prime the new PAS.
7. Resume normal operation.
Recovering a Dose Due
to a System Failure
With a Dose of RP in the Dose Calibrator
1. Restart the system. If the error condition does not persist, proceed with the infusion as
normal.
2. If the error condition persists after the restart, the dose in the Dose Calibrator can be
infused manually.
a. Open the Saline Pump and remove the tubing from the pump.
b. Disconnect the Saline Container from the SAS at the Saline Disconnect Luer
adjacent to the Saline Pump.
c. Insert the Saline Container tubing set into the Saline Pump to prevent saline from
leaking onto the floor.
d. Open the Shielded Chamber Lid only far enough to expose the PAS Pinch Valve and
remove the SAS from the Pinch Valve.
