The Manual Dose Injector is designed to
reduce exposure when capping or uncapping syringes and injecting
radionuclides. It is especially useful to protect fingers when administering
high-energy nuclides. The injector is also useful when the injection
protocol is a slow infusion as with Zevalin™.
Here’s how it works:
- Remove the needle
- Place a shielded syringe into the Manual Dose Injector. Use a forceps to
hold the needle hub. Turn the lead base and the needle detaches.
- Attach a butterfly,
etc. - Use a forceps to hold the butterfly
hub. Place the hub onto the syringe luer lock. Turn the lead base and the
butterfly is attached.
- Inject -
Use the plunger on the Dose Injector to push the syringe plunger.
The Manual Dose Injector features a
spring-loaded clamp to hold the syringe barrel firmly in place. There is a
1" thick lead base to protect hands. The syringe plunger is held by the
injector plunger so that the syringe plunger can move forward or back. The
Dose Injector can be easily transported or placed wherever administrations
are performed. It can also be used in pharmacies to remove needles or recap.
