Compliance with ARSAC
Effective HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filtered airflow is essential in dispensing workstations to maintain sterile conditions and prevent microbial contamination of medicinal products. Radiopharmaceuticals prepared for intravenous use must meet strict sterility standards in compliance with Good Manufacturing Practice, UKRG and ARSAC guidelines, making proper handling of radiopharmaceuticals critical to patient safety.
BriTec recently supplied and installed a custom-made laminar flow cabinet at Imperial College’s Clinical Imaging Facility based at the Wolfson Education Center, supporting PET imaging for patients enrolled in clinical trials. The cabinet was customized and built to the precise specifications of PET Radiographer Robert Punjani and his team.
