The Double-Ended PET Pig is an all-in-one solution for the safe transport and administration of 511 keV radionuclides, such as FDG F-18. The pig is constructed in three sections of 0.6” (1.5cm) lead enclosed in durable plastic. Depending on the stage of the injection process, only one section of the pig is removed. The injection itself is accomplished without removing the syringe from the pig. Simply open the administration port and push the tungsten plunger against the syringe plunger. During injection the pig is positioned on a stand. The Double-Ended Pig accommodates a 5 cc syringe and fits into its own compact shipping container. The system employs a unique design that decreases the weight and size of the container.
• Pig accommodates 5cc syringes with or without needle.
• Meets DOT II Type A packaging requirements when shipping up to 475mCi of FDG F-18
• Meets IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations 48th Edition Sections 5.0.4.3, 10.5, and 10.6.1 through 10.6.3.5.
