Venti-Scan IV Radioaerosol Administration System | Nuclear Medicine Lung Ventila
The Venti-Scan IV is a fully lead-shielded radioaerosol delivery system designed for lung ventilation studies in nuclear medicine departments. It delivers precise aerosol particle sizing for sharp, diagnostic-quality images while protecting both the technologist and patient from radiation exposure. The system is engineered for fast setup, minimal handling, and safe single-use kit disposal.
Key Features:
System Design and Setup
- Disposable kit automatically locks into position on insertion, confirming all port alignments in one step
- Single-step oxygen connection to a dedicated external port eliminates manual alignment
- Injection port on the kit is precisely angled to align with the canister port for accurate, consistent delivery
- Push-button release mechanism inverts the canister over a shielded waste container for safe, contact-free kit disposal
Aerosol Performance
- Small baffle design within the nebulizer produces homogeneous aerosol distribution for sharp, clear ventilation images
- Mean aerosol particle size of 0.50 microns for optimal lung deposition and imaging quality
- Clean-bore, straight-path tubing eliminates internal ridges that cause particle clumping (superior to corrugated tubing)
Filter and Breathing Comfort
- Contoured filter design increases surface area, reducing breathing resistance to virtually zero
- Trapping efficiency greater than 99.9% prevents humidified radiation from passing through
- Natural contour mouthpiece included for patient comfort during the study
Radiation Protection
- Fully enclosed lead shielding from top to bottom with no exposed gaps
- Shielded sliding port on the canister top accommodates the Venti-Pak Accessory Kit for ventilator-assisted patients
- Single-use disposable kit minimizes technologist contact with contaminated components
Portability and Mounting
- Lightweight at only 8 lb (3.7 kg)
- IV pole mount included for flexible bedside or imaging suite positioning
