The Capintec Dose Calibrator, including the CRC®-55tR model supplied by Meditronix Corporation, is widely regarded as the gold standard in nuclear medicine for measuring and verifying radiopharmaceutical doses. It uses a proven, time tested ionization chamber design trusted by hotlabs and nuclear medicine departments across the world for its accuracy, repeatability, and long service life.
Dose calibrators are a critical safety and quality checkpoint in any nuclear medicine department. Before a radiopharmaceutical dose is administered to a patient, the dose calibrator verifies the exact activity being given, ensuring it matches what was prescribed for diagnostic imaging or therapy. This protects patients from underdosing, which can lead to poor image quality or reduced treatment efficacy, and from overdosing, which carries unnecessary radiation risk. Regulatory bodies including the AERB require dose calibrators to be in place and routinely quality checked as part of radiation safety compliance for any facility handling radioisotopes. In short, the dose calibrator is what makes safe, accurate, and accountable nuclear medicine practice possible.
The unit comes with an 8 inch color VGA touch screen for easy operation, a high pressure ionization chamber capable of measuring activity up to 6 Ci (250 GBq), and a library of over 80 preloaded nuclides with half life data. It displays nuclide name, activity, calibration number, and unit in real time, and includes automated QC programs for constancy, linearity, and geometry checks. Dual chamber support with plug and play design, USB and PC connectivity, printer compatibility, and built in self diagnostics round out the feature set.
Meditronix maintains ready stock of the Capintec Dose Calibrator so most departments can receive their unit quickly without long waiting periods. Only in the case of a very unique or custom configured model would there be a lead time for procurement.
