System OverviewThe Intego™ PET Infusion System delivers
PET/CT diagnostic procedure. In addition, the system provides effective radiation shielding to
18
medical personnel from
The Intego™ PET Infusion System meets the following clinical needs:
1. For a typical 555 MBq (15 mCi) infusion per patient, it limits
medical personnel to less than 60 μSv (6 mRem) finger dose and 3 μSv (0.3 mRem)
whole body dose.
2. Flexibility to program the required dose either by activity only or by activity per patient
weight.
4. Capability to retain and print infusion history and dispensing records.
The Intego™ PET Infusion System is a self-contained, self-powered (available only on INT
SYS 200) mobile cart. A Multi-Dose Vial of RP (up to 27.75 GBq (750 mCi)) is stored within a
Shielded Chamber within the body of the system. A SAS is installed within the Shielded
Chamber at the same time a new Multi-Dose Vial of the RP indicated for use is installed. Just
prior to an infusion, the system measures a dose of RP along with a saline flush in the Dose
Calibrator. Once the correct radiation level is achieved, the RP dose and saline are infused into
the patient via a PAS. Rechargeable batteries provide sufficient power to keep the Dose
Calibrator warm so that the system can be unplugged and moved to a new location without
having to completely power Off.

Medrad™ Intego™ PET Infusion System
Safety Features The Intego™ PET Infusion System incorporates the following safety features to help protect
patients and operators while the system is in use.
NOTE:These features are intended to augment the safety program of a site.
•The RP is stored in a Shielded Chamber within the Intego™ PET Infusion System. A
patient's dose of the RP indicated for use is created automatically while the dose remains
within the Shielded Chamber, greatly reducing the operator's exposure to radiation. Any
waste material left over after an infusion remains within the Shielded Chamber until time
for disposal. By employing a SAS, which is also contained within the Shielded Chamber, it
is not necessary to replace the tubing set directly connected to the Multi-Dose Vial for
each patient.
•Prior to infusing a dose of the RP indicated for use into the patient, the Intego™ PET Infusion System measures the dose activity to ensure that the correct dosage will be
infused.
•The Intego™ PET Infusion System contains a Waste Container within the Shielded
Chamber. If it is necessary to discard a dose of RP, the dose is transferred into this Waste
Container to help prevent radiation exposure to the patient or operator.
•The Shielded Chamber Lid is secured by a heavy-duty latching system, which reduces the
likelihood of unintentionally opening the Shielded Chamber while radioactivity is contained
within. In addition, the Shielded Chamber Lid can be locked to prevent unauthorized
access to the Shielded Chamber.
•The Intego™ PET Infusion System Display can be locked to prevent unauthorized access
to the operating system.
•The Intego™ PET Infusion System has a saline test inject feature that may be used to
check vein patency prior to an infusion.
•The Intego™ PET Infusion System features an air detection system that automatically
disarms the Intego™ PET Infusion System if air is detected in the SAS.
•The Intego™ PET Infusion System PAS features a one-way check valve that prevents
backflow of fluids into the SAS.
The following is available only on INT SYS 200 systems.
•The Intego™ PET Infusion System is intended for use with a powered Drive System.
When the Drive System is being used, the system prevents test inject and dose delivery to
the patient.
The following is available only on INT SYS 100 systems.
•The Intego™ PET Infusion System employs a hydraulic braking system that is continually
engaged. The operator must continuously release the brakes to move the system.

2. On the Schedule screen: By displaying an Attention icon and message in the Status Bar,
by highlighting the unachievable RP infusions in yellow, and by displaying the valid dose
range under the planned dose for the first unachievable RP infusions in the schedule.
While the Multi-Dose Vial is intended to meet the original Multi-Dose Vial schedule, there are
several reasons a schedule may become unachievable:
•Scheduled infusions were delayed.
•More activity is used per RP infusion than originally planned.
•Unplanned RP infusions are added during the day.
Users may temporarily enter schedule changes under consideration to determine if sufficient
RP activity is in the Multi-Dose Vial to support the new plan. Users should only commit to
schedule changes if the Vial Monitor does not raise an alert. If changes that create an
unachievable schedule cannot be avoided, the Vial Monitoring early warning alerts seek to
provide information and time for the clinician to plan for the potential Multi-Dose Vial activity
shortfall.

These annual programs greatly assist in maintaining accuracy and reliability as well as
extending the life of the system. Contact MEDRAD for details. In Europe, contact the local
MEDRAD office or local authorized dealer for further information. Refer to the "Introduction"
section of this manual for address, telephone, and fax information.
WARNING: Using the Intego™ PET Infusion System without performing the
necessary QC processes could result in the patient receiving an incorrect
dosage of the RP indicated for use. Be certain to perform all necessary QC checks
at the recommended intervals.
CAUTION: Intego™ PET Infusion System malfunction may be caused by failure
to perform regular maintenance. Regular preventive maintenance is recommended
to ensure that the system functions properly. Refer to this manual or contact

Dose Calibrator Linearity
Check
To perform the Dose Calibrator Linearity check, follow these steps:
NOTE:The Dose Calibrator Linearity check is a required procedure to be performed
during the quarterly maintenance schedule.
NOTE:Use
18
F to perform the Dose Calibrator Linearity check. The activity should be higher
than 925 MBq (25 mCi) to ensure the full range of programmable doses are checked.
NOTE:The Linearity check proceeds until the
18
F activity decays to 3.7 MBq (100 μCi). If
required, this limit can be configured by MEDRAD to be as low as 370 kBq (10 μCi).
NOTE:If the lower limit on the Linearity check is set to less than 3.7 MBq (100 μCi), the
decay time will increase.
