Medrad™ Intego™
PET Infusion System

NOTE: If the requested dose activity is within the valid range, it is marked with a black
line and pointer.
NOTE: If the requested dose activity is not within the valid range, it is marked with a
yellow line and pointer. The valid range is also displayed within the Requested
Activity field under the requested dose activity value.
Preparing an RP Dose NOTE: When operating on battery power, the Intego™ PET Infusion System will
prevent Preparing an RP Dose with less than three minutes remaining on the
battery meter.
1. Press the PREPARE button to prepare the dose of RP to be infused.
2. If a test injection was not already performed, the Intego™ PET Infusion System displays a
message asking the user to confirm that the PAS has been inspected for air (see the
"Performing Saline Test Inject" section). Inspect the PAS Tubing for air:
a. If the PAS contains air, press NO, disconnect the PAS from the patient, and return to
the "Priming the PAS" section of the manual.
b. If the PAS does not contain air, press YES. The Intego™ PET Infusion System will
prepare the requested dose.
NOTE: Once a patient dose is prepared, the Requested Activity field displays the
patient dose’s actual activity as measured by the Dose Calibrator. The Activity
Bar changes to show the percent deviation of the measured dose with respect
to the requested dose on a scale of +/- 10%. If the measured dose is beyond
+/- 10% of the requested dose, the Intego™ PET Infusion System notifies the
user by displaying the triangle at the end of the Activity Bar as color-filled. The
Requested Activity field and Activity Bar continuously update as the prepared
dose decays.
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.
