Medrad™ Intego™ PET Infusion System
Safety Features The Intego™ PET Infusion System incorporates the following safety features to help protect
patients and operators while the system is in use.
NOTE: These features are intended to augment the safety program of a site.
• The RP is stored in a Shielded Chamber within the Intego™ PET Infusion System. A
patient's dose of the RP indicated for use is created automatically while the dose remains
within the Shielded Chamber, greatly reducing the operator's exposure to radiation. Any
waste material left over after an infusion remains within the Shielded Chamber until time
for disposal. By employing a SAS, which is also contained within the Shielded Chamber, it
is not necessary to replace the tubing set directly connected to the Multi-Dose Vial for
each patient.
• Prior to infusing a dose of the RP indicated for use into the patient, the Intego™ PET
Infusion System measures the dose activity to ensure that the correct dosage will be
infused.
• The Intego™ PET Infusion System contains a Waste Container within the Shielded
Chamber. If it is necessary to discard a dose of RP, the dose is transferred into this Waste
Container to help prevent radiation exposure to the patient or operator.
• The Shielded Chamber Lid is secured by a heavy-duty latching system, which reduces the
likelihood of unintentionally opening the Shielded Chamber while radioactivity is contained
within. In addition, the Shielded Chamber Lid can be locked to prevent unauthorized
access to the Shielded Chamber.
•The Intego™ PET Infusion System Display can be locked to prevent unauthorized access
to the operating system.
• The Intego™ PET Infusion System has a saline test inject feature that may be used to
check vein patency prior to an infusion.
• The Intego™ PET Infusion System features an air detection system that automatically
disarms the Intego™ PET Infusion System if air is detected in the SAS.
• The Intego™ PET Infusion System PAS features a one-way check valve that prevents
backflow of fluids into the SAS.
The following is available only on INT SYS 200 systems.
• The Intego™ PET Infusion System is intended for use with a powered Drive System.
When the Drive System is being used, the system prevents test inject and dose delivery to
the patient.
The following is available only on INT SYS 100 systems.
• The Intego™ PET Infusion System employs a hydraulic braking system that is continually
engaged. The operator must continuously release the brakes to move the system.
