Venti-Scan IV Radioaerosol Administration System | Nuclear Medicine Lung Ventila

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
