Abstract:
To maintain sterility of PET drug is the most important for in-house positron emission tomography (PET) drug manufacturing, and sanitary control of the laboratory to perform aseptic procedure is the key point for the sterility of PET drugs. However, rigorous sanitary control affects both the high cost and the low efficiency. To conquer those, we developed an isolator system especially for PET drug compounding including sterilization and dispensing units. This system consists of a HEPA unit for inlet and outlet, positive regulation of the ear inside isolator, a sterilizer with vapored hydrogen peroxide and a dispenser with self-shield for radiation. We set the materials for the dispenser through gloves, and the compounding such as sterilization and dispensing PET drugs to the containers is performed automatically without radiation. High level assurance of PET drug sterility is expected to be accomplished in the PET centers of the hospitals without high level sanitary control.

Steam sterilization uses non-toxic, low-cost moist heat in the form of saturated steam under pressure, which is fast, microbicidal, and sporicidal, and quickly warms and penetrates fabrics. Autoclaves, or steam sterilizers, expose each item to direct steam contact for a predetermined time at the necessary...
