Syri Porter
The unique design of the Syriporter helps to minimise radiation exposure to technologists and Radio-Pharmacists in PET facilities and has proven to reduced more than half. The Syriporter + Dose has been designed for specific application where radiation protection needs to be obeyed at a higher level, due to isotopes of high energy and activity. However, the Syriporter can be easily used to minimise exposure dose to those operating in Nuclear Medicine and I-131 therapy facilities by adding optional modifi cations.
Applications
The new Syriporter is a direct product study of personnel operating in PET departments. receiving a higher radiaton dose than in nuclear medicine. Understanding staff at PET facilities and how they spread their doses through the day on routine procedures is important.
The Syirporter + Dose shielding design is based on time versus activities, which bring us again to the ALARA concept. Achieving reduction of dose to operators and supporting personnel within the facility.
Syri Porter Lite
The Syriporter Lite is uniquely designed to minimise exposure by approximately 50% to the PET Nuclear Medicine technologist and Radio-Pharmacist
Applications
The Syri Porter Lite does so by allowing for a fast transfer of the syringe shield into the syringe holder. It is then easily moved from the dose preparation area to the delivery suite due to its superiorly balanced construction using a low centre of gravity distributed unto five wheels.
This Syriporter has been successfully utilised in several hospitals in Australia and overseas.
Features
The lead glass viewing barrier is 30mm thick (8mm pb equivalent).
