Recently, Bayer announced that Medrad Intego, the first automatic PET drug delivery system in China, successfully completed the installation at Zhongshan Hospital affiliated to Fudan University.
As a PET infusion system with outstanding accuracy, flexibility, safety and reliability, Medrad Intego has accumulated over 2 million applications worldwide, marking the first time in the world that Bayer has been delivering radiation Imaging and Nuclear Medicine in the field of high-pressure syringe solutions business, to further enrich the Bayer diagnostic imaging business in the Chinese market portfolio.
Nuclear medicine uses nuclear science and technology to diagnose and treat diseases, and specifically displays the biological activities in vivo through the combination of tracers with specific organs or components in the body.As a key method of nuclear medicine, PET-CT has high sensitivity and high Resolution and other characteristics of the human body can simultaneously display the physiological metabolism and anatomical structure of the human body at the molecular level to reflect the physical, pathological and functional changes in disease diagnosis and treatment programs more accurate, has been increasingly used in malignant Tumor, neurological disease and cardiovascular disease diagnosis and evaluation of the curative effect.
The half-life of fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG), a commonly used radioactive tracer for PET-CT, is relatively short and the radiation dose is within the safe range of the human body acceptable to the patient, but in the case of the commonly used manual injection mode, The safety of medical workers, the accuracy of the patient's dosage and the efficiency of the testing process, etc. Medrad Intego is an integrated and easy-to-use mobile PET drug delivery system that can effectively solve the above problems , Its main features include:
Enhance the safety of clinicians - Medrad Intego fully automatic operation with fully shielded, mobile design, dose preparation and patient infusion, shielding of tungsten and lead reduces radiation dose to clinicians Data show that compared to manual injection, Medrad Intego allows operation During the dosing period, the extremities and body exposures were reduced by 94% and 59.3%, respectively.
Achieve a high degree of delivery dose and prescription dose accuracy - Calculate the patient's specific dosing dose with an easy-to-use touch screen and automatically administer precise dosing based on patient weight.
improve PET-CT Check work efficiency and improve work flow - Set-up Automated dispense preparation, injection and recording, multiple dose delivery via vial for on-demand dosing Flexible scheduling to help manage patients who are late and have inadequate preparation time Excellent mobility Sexual and all-battery operated mode of operation simplifies the workflow.
With the continuous development of medical imaging technology, the diagnosis and treatment of diseases are gradually going from the morphology and pathology to the molecular level. PET-CT is playing an increasingly important role in the early diagnosis of diseases such as malignant tumors. 'Said Hu Wenjing, general manager of Bayer China's Imaging Diagnostics Business Unit.'I am very pleased to see that Medrad Intego, a trusted drug delivery system in the international PET infusion field, has successfully installed its products domestically. Together, it will provide more efficient image examination for domestic patients and provide better protection for clinical imaging workers 'operational safety and overall efficiency.'
