Product overview
The FDG Manual Dispensing Shielding Device is a radiation protection unit designed for manual splitting and dispensing of FDG radiopharmaceuticals in nuclear medicine radiopharmacies. It integrates a tungsten alloy flip can with a high-density lead shielding layer and a 304 stainless steel housing to provide stable attenuation and reduce operators' occupational exposure while enabling manual handling tasks.

Construction and materials

• Tungsten alloy flip can (flip-top shield) for local source containment
• High-density lead shielding layer for gamma attenuation
• Integrated 304 stainless steel structure for cleanability and corrosion resistance

Key features

• Compact footprint preserving an accessible workspace for manual pipetting, splitting and dosing
• Flip-top design facilitating quick access and secure closure during operations
• Stable and reliable radiation attenuation to help minimise occupational dose

Intended applications

• Manual dispensing, aliquoting and pipetting of FDG in nuclear medicine radiopharmacies and radiopharmacy rooms
• Situations requiring a balance between manual operational flexibility and radiation protection

Operation and maintenance

• Reserved operating space sized for manual manipulation of syringes and vials used in FDG dispensing
• Stainless steel surfaces permit routine cleaning and surface decontamination
• Regular inspection of shielding interfaces recommended to ensure continued attenuation performance

Radiation protection performance

• Layered shielding concept (tungsten alloy + lead) provides enhanced attenuation for common PET isotopes such as F-18, contributing to lower operator exposure during manual dispensing
• Design supports compliance with workplace radiation safety practices in nuclear medicine settings
