Aeroshield syringe shields

Aeroshield syringe shields are available in a wide and complete range of sizes to offer users an ergonomic and protective solution that is essential during the preparation, transfer and injection of all-energy radiopharmaceutical doses for SPECT activities.

Thanks to its extensive expertise, Lemer Pax has developed and produced Super Green, an innovative, environmentally friendly, lead-free radiation protection material.

This innovative patented material has attenuation characteristics close to those of lead but without the health risks for the operators handling it and for the environment (unlike lead-based solutions).

Thanks to their individual colour codes, the capacities of these new syringe shields are easily identifiable.

Regardless of the radioisotope to be handled: ^99mTc, ¹¹¹In, ¹²³I, ¹⁷⁷Lu, ²⁰¹Tl, ¹³¹I and the required administration method: direct injection to the patient, connection to a catheter or a 3-way valve ,the confortable hold of this syringe shield allows for dexterity, precision and speed of execution of the operation, thus limiting contact time with the radioactive element to a minimum.

This range of ergonomic syringe shields meets the highest regulatory standards and is approved for sale on the US market.

FOCUS

• The main part of the Aeroshield syringe shield is made of a Super Green barrel (2 mm thickness) which has been minutely worked on to produce a perfectly smooth finish that gives greater confort and helps with the cleaning and decontamination by immersion or with adapted wipes.

• Its large shielded viewing window made of high density 5.2 lead glass with magnifying effect allows for improved viewing of the volume held in the syringe and its graduations in full, to facilitate precision sampling and thus improve daily working comfort. If necessary, the leaded glass viewing window can be replaced with a Super Green part (optional ‘all Super Green’ replacement kit).

• Engraved identification data and colour coding on the Super Green body from the Aeroshield makes it easier to choose the syringe shield to be used in accordance with the capacity of the syringe. The engraved data and colour coding also facilitates inventory and ordering of accessories.

• A black plastic lock (PA 6.6) ensures that the syringe is secured in the syringe shield and secures its position by preventing unwanted random movement.

• The ingenious design of Aeroshield allows the user to change the leaded glass viewing window independently by removing a single screw, if necessary, either for a simple replacement or for thorough cleaning and decontamination, but also when changing the plastic syringe lock with the tool provided (Torx key).
