The radiation burden in nuclear medicine depends on the administered radiopharmaceutical rather than on the imaging device. It is independent of the number of acquired images. The effective dose is proportional to the administered radioactivity which indicates the amount of the isotope. Radioactivity is measured in Becquerels (Bq) and Curies (Ci). Additional dose-influencing parameters are physical half-life, as well as type and properties of the emitted radiation. Short half-life isotopes in general impart lower radiation burden. Only gamma and positron emissions contribute to the diagnostic image; other types of radiation only add up to the radiation burden. That's why pure gamma emitters such as Tc-99m or pure positron emitters like F-18 are preferred. Biological parameters of the radiopharmaceutical have to be considered as well. They influence the biological half-life and distribution pattern in the body which changes dynamically after the application. Daily cleaning of the system is needed in order to ensure better performance and to avoid erroneous results. The following components may need to be cleaned daily if visual inspection shows residue or buildup: Probes Mixing rods WUD DWUD ISE module   Daily Cleaning Procedures Learn more about Daily Cleaning procedures. Checklist TitleChecklist TypeChecklist ContentCleaning the Probes and Wash CupsHTML   Select each check box to learn more about the Daily Cleaning procedures. Select the play arrow to begin the video.  Cleaning the Mixing RodsHTML Only clean the mixing rods if residual buildup is observed. Use a soft, lint-free towel moistened with deionized water.  Never use gauze or excessive force.  Cleaning the WUD and DWUDHTML Use an alcohol prep pad followed by a lint free towel moistened with DI water to wipe down the nozzles. Note:  Nozzle #2 of the WUD often appears discolored.  This is due to the constant exposure of this nozzle to the 10% Cuvette Wash.  This stain cannot be removed and will not affect instrument performance or assay results.  Wiping the Reagent TraysHTML   Select the play arrow to begin the video.

Detergent and DI water are used in this 38 minute maintenance procedure. Laboratories not operating on a 24 hour/7day schedule need to perform both a Shutdown (Wash 2), and Startup (Wash 3) Wash every day. A Wash 3 only rinses the system with DI water.   The Startup Wash is necessary if the analyzer is inactive for more than 4 hours. This Wash uses DI water to rinse the probe lines, reaction and dilution cuvettes. It can be programmed to run automatically following the Shutdown Wash.   Startup Wash or Wash 3 Learn more about Startup Wash or Wash 3.   Select the play arrow to begin the video. When complete, select the X in the upper-right corner to close the window and continue.   The Daily Shutdown Wash or Wash 2 uses the 10% Cuvette Wash solution, ISE Detergent, and DI water in specified positions on the CTT, RTT1, and RTT2. The procedure has 2 cycles, a wash and a rinse. In addition, it includes washing the ISE electrodes. Laboratories that run many dialysis and/or veterinary samples may need to perform the Weekly Wash daily in place of the Shutdown Wash. This is known as the Modified Shutdown Wash.   Shutdown Wash or Wash 2 Learn how to perform a Shutdown Wash or Wash 2.   Select the play arrow to begin the video.
