AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Current automated radiosynthesis devices require manual intervention for disconnecting cassettes from product collection vials and 18O-water recovery vials, exposing operators to radiation and increasing the time for radioactivity decay within the hot cell.

Method used

An automated radiosynthesis device with a disconnector device that facilitates the automated disconnection of disposable kits from vials, reducing manual intervention and enabling safe transfer of contaminated cassettes to shielded containers for decay, featuring a disconnector device with a rigid planar body and actuators to control moving parts, allowing for automated line disconnection without operator exposure.

Benefits of technology

The solution enables the automated and safe disconnection of disposable kits from the synthesis device, reducing radiation exposure and accelerating the reduction of radioactivity within the hot cell, thereby enhancing operator safety and efficiency.

Abstract

The present invention relates to an automated radiosynthesis device adapted for enhanced automatic disconnection of a disposable kit once a radiosynthesis has been carried out. The automated radiosynthesis device of the invention therefore reduces the time to remove the disposable kit from the radiosynthesis device and reduces radiation exposure to the operator.
