Operating the TechnegasPlus Technegas Generator
The TechnegasPlus Technegas Generator is fully self contained in terms of its own operation and radiation shielding. The various steps of Technegas production are under the automated control of a microprocessor with front panel display prompts shown on a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD).
The Front Panel of the TechnegasPlus Technegas Generator contains a Liquid Crystal Display used to show guidance messages to the operator and to mount the 4 control buttons that operate the device.
Production and delivery of Technegas is very simple and takes only a few minutes.
Prolonged storage of Technegas promotes aggregation into larger particles and the migration of those particles to the walls of the chamber, therefore Technegas is intended to be administered to the patient within 10 minutes of its generation. To prevent accidental use of expired diagnostic agent, after 10 minutes, the TechnegasPlus Generator inhibits the delivery to the patient and the chamber is automatically purged through a filter system to trap any excess Technegas.
For best results, Technegas must be administered to the patient as soon as possible after being generated, and certainly within the 10 minutes allowed. The patient should be prepared for administration during the Technegas generation process. Ideally, the patient should be positioned so that the activity entering the lungs can be monitored with a gamma camera as it is delivered.
