A dispensing device which disperses medicate through a needle across a zone within a body. The device includes a needle which is, during use, becomes encapsulated within a tubular needle-receiving member, a reservoir in fluid communication with the needle, positioned within the housing, and in communication with the needle, a second reservoir, a reservoir-connecting conduit in communication with the reservoir, a fluid drive in communication with the fluid in the second reservoir and in communication with the reservoir-connecting conduit, and a linear drive attached to the needle or to the needle-receiving member. The fluid drive impel fluids from the second reservoir to the reservoir-connecting conduit and thus drives the therapeutic agent from the reservoir during the linear displacement of the needle towards the housing. Fluid communication from the therapeutic agent reservoir to the needle is maintained by the tubing during operation of the linear drive.

Apparatus for fractionation and infusion of radiopharmaceuticals, including a fractionation unit for fractionation into a number of calibrated doses of an amount of radioactive liquid contained in a multidose vial, and a unit for transferring the doses from the fractionation unit to a device for administration thereof to a patient, and further including a controlled-atmosphere ventilated chamber containing the unit for transfer of the doses and the connections to a line for connection to the administering device.

The invention is a theranostic delivery system or radiopharmaceutical drugs delivery system with movable workstation having handles. The workstation of theranostic delivery system or radiopharmaceutical drugs delivery system also has an on-board shielded disposal system for waste collection, which is operated by foot actuated system for locked and unlocked modes during the device journey. The theranostic delivery system or radiopharmaceutical drugs delivery system comprises a status light system that illuminates the working area to enable distance monitoring. Further, the delivery system includes a disposable secondary containment system that protects the core workstation from contamination, a configurable dose transporter and a disposable sealed fluid cartridge to withdraw custom volume from the vial or syringe. The delivery system includes a theranostic informatics management system, which contains a computer screen as a graphical user interface with a retractable rotating arm to receive the various patient infusion parameters.

An apparatus for shielding medical personnel from radioactive materials being administered to a patient in need thereof, including a radioactive syringe shield and a radioactive fluid pump shield. The radioactive syringe shield includes a syringe main body, and syringe shields proximal and distal ends each configured to attach to opposite ends of the syringe shield main body in a threaded male/female connection. Together, the syringe shield main body, and proximal and distal ends are configured to contain therewithin a medical syringe containing radioactive medical fluid. The radioactive fluid pump shield is a shielded box configured to contain the fluid pump and has top and front portions pivotally attached to adjacent portions to allow selective access to the fluid pump.

Systems and methods for delivering a medical fluid are disclosed. The system includes a fluid flow path, a fluid administration device adapted to deliver the medical fluid through the fluid flow path, and a controller in communication with the fluid administration device. The method includes using the system to determine a desired flow rate of the medical fluid at a distal end of the fluid flow path based upon at least a desired flow profile of the medical fluid at the distal end. The method further includes initiating a fluid delivery operation by delivering the medical fluid through the fluid flow path according to fluid delivery parameters provided to the fluid administration device by the controller. Information about the fluid delivery operation may be received at the controller which executes a control function to adjust the fluid delivery parameters based on the received information.

A syringe shield useful for containing a syringe loaded with radioactive and/or light sensitive drugs is disclosed. The syringe shield may reduce a healthcare provider's exposure to radiation and/or may reduce or eliminate ambient light contamination to optically sensitive components in the syringe.

The invention is a theranostic delivery system or radiopharmaceutical drugs delivery system with movable workstation having handles. The workstation of theranostic delivery system or radiopharmaceutical drugs delivery system also has an on-board shielded disposal system for waste collection, which is operated by foot actuated system for locked and unlocked modes during the device journey. The theranostic delivery system or radiopharmaceutical drugs delivery system comprises a status light system that illuminates the working area to enable distance monitoring. Further, the delivery system includes a disposable secondary containment system that protects the core workstation from contamination, a configurable dose transporter and a disposable sealed fluid cartridge to withdraw custom volume from the vial or syringe. The delivery system includes a theranostic informatics management system, which contains a computer screen as a graphical user interface with a retractable rotating arm to receive the various patient infusion parameters.

Systems, apparatus and methods are provided through which an injector system automates a process of injecting an individual dose from a multiple dose of a radiotracer material. In some embodiments, the injector system includes a first dose calibrator system that receives a multidose vial of a radiotracer, a second dose calibrator system, an injection pump and an intravenous needle. In some embodiments, the first dose calibrator system and the multidose vial have an integrated shape. In some embodiments, the first dose calibrator system includes a pneumatic arm that receives the multidose vial.

A radioisotope generator system can include a column assembly having a column, an inlet arm, an outlet arm. The column can contain packing material that binds a radioisotope. In addition, the column may define a notch between an open area and a stopper receptacle area in which an opening of the outlet arm is positioned. In some examples, the system includes a Luer lock connection between the outlet arm and a connector tubing. The Luer lock connection can include a male Luer cap and a female Luer cap each comprising tabs configured to line up with or overlap each other so as to indicate when the caps are sufficiently tightened together so as to form a non-leaking lock.

The present invention relates to a theranostic delivery system or radiopharmaceutical drugs delivery system (100) with movable ergonomic workstation (3) having handles on the side(s) to move the cart. The radiopharmaceutical drugs delivery system (100) comprises of simple design and multiple enhanced safety features for user. The delivery system (100) includes a disposable secondary containment system (2) that protect the core workstation from contamination, a configurable dose transporter (6) that allows for safe transport of the hot dose between the hot lab to the infusion site and a disposable sealed fluid cartridge (7) to withdraw custom volume from the vial or syringe. The delivery system (100) comprises a theranostic informatics management system with a computer screen (19) as graphical user interface (GUI) with retractable rotating arm (20) to receive the various patient infusion parameters and effectively manage delivery of desired dose to patient.
