Infusion systems configurations

摘要

Shielding assemblies for systems that generate and infuse radiopharmaceuticals. The shielding assemblies include a sidewall that defines several compartments and provides a radiation barrier for the compartments and provides a passageway sized to accommodate routing of an eluate line from a radioisotope generator. One compartment is sized to contain the radioisotope generator. A second compartment is sized to hold a portion of an infusion circuit that may be an extension of the eluate line and may include a waste line and a patient line.

主权项

1. A shielding assembly for a system that generates and infuses radiopharmaceuticals, the shielding assembly comprising:
a sidewall that defines a plurality of compartments and provides a radioactive radiation barrier for the compartments; a first compartment of the plurality of compartments, the first compartment being defined by a first portion of the sidewall that surrounds a first space configured to contain a radioisotope generator that generates radiopharmaceuticals via elution; a second compartment of the plurality of compartments, the second compartment being defined by a second portion of the sidewall that surrounds a second space configured to hold a portion of an infusion circuit of the system, the portion of the infusion circuit including an eluate line, a waste line, and a patient line; a third compartment of the plurality of compartments, the third compartment being defined by a third portion of the sidewall that surrounds a third space configured to accommodate a waste bottle of the infusion system, the third portion of the sidewall extending upward relative to the second portion of the sidewall; a first passageway formed in the sidewall and extending between the first compartment and the second compartment, the first passageway being configured to receive the eluate line so that, when the generator is contained within the first compartment and the eluate line is coupled to the generator, the eluate line extends through the sidewall via the first passageway; and a second passageway formed in the third portion of the sidewall, the second passageway being configured to receive at least one of the waste line and the patient line so that, when the portion of the infusion circuit that includes the waste line and the patient line is held in the second compartment, the at least one of the waste line and the patient line received in the second passageway extends upward with respect to ground on an opposite side of the third portion of the sidewall from a side facing the space configured to accommodate the waste bottle.
