Methods And Compositions For Drying In The Preparation Of Radiopharmaceuticals

US Patent:
2013002, Jan 24, 2013
Filed:
Jul 16, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/550188
Inventors:
Dennis B. ESHIMA - Phoenix AZ, US
Mehmet Husnu - Phoenix AZ, US
Henry Padgett - Hermosa Beach CA, US
Thomas A. Klausing - Powell OH, US
Chad E. Bouton - Powell OH, US
Herman Benecke - Columbus OH, US
Daniel B. Garbark - Blacklick OH, US
International Classification:
C01B 7/00, C09K 3/00
US Classification:
423249, 252184
Abstract:
A method of drying a radioisotope solution having radioisotopes includes passing the radioisotope solution through a solid phase extraction column containing an anion exchange group, thereby trapping the radioisotopes in the column. The method also includes passing an eluent through the column, thereby removing the radioisotopes from the column. The eluent includes a cation trapping agent/salt complex, less than 4% water, and the remainder is a solvent. A method of producing the eluent includes reacting a cation trapping agent with a salt in the presence of less than 4% water and a solvent to form solubilized cation trapping agent/salt complex, wherein one of the cation trapping agent and the salt is present in en excess of a stoichiometric amount and ending the reaction when a predetermined amount of solubilized cation trapping agent/salt complex has been formed.

International Classification:
B01J 19/00, B65B 1/00
US Classification:
536 282, 536122, 5483275, 422159, 422119, 422110, 53473
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and devices for generating radionuclides for use in production of radiopharmaceuticals; synthesizing the radionuclides generated and removing any unwanted products; measuring the quantity and activity level of the synthesized radionuclides; distributively delivering the radionuclides in appropriate quantities to modular cassette synthesis units in a modular cassette subsystem for contemporaneous/parallel production of radiopharmaceutical output and that allow reuse and/or quick, safe, and disposable replacement of portions of the subsystem; delivering non-radionuclide components to the modular cassette synthesis units as part of production of radiopharmaceutical output; measuring the quantity and activity level of each stream of radiopharmaceutical output; purifying the radiopharmaceutical output; dispensing individual doses in sterile vial(s); automatically producing labeling and dose related information; performing automated quality control on extracted samples of produced radiopharmaceutical output; and providing software and hardware controls for overall and sub-portion operation for optional remote data collection, communication, and/or control.

Closed Vial Fill System For Aseptic Dispensing

US Patent:
2012022, Sep 6, 2012
Filed:
Dec 28, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/339226
Inventors:
Mehmet HUSNU - Phoenix AZ, US
Dennis Eshima - Phoenix AZ, US
Derrick Alcaide - Los Angeles CA, US
Scott N. Danhof - Plain City OH, US
Jim Gleeson - Columbus OH, US
Eric Hassenpflug - Westerville OH, US
Jim Prescott - Columbus OH, US
Assignee:
CARDINAL HEALTH 414, LLC - Dublin OH
International Classification:
B65B 1/04, B65D 71/06
US Classification:
141 69, 206223, 141369
Abstract:
A closed path vial fill system includes a bulk product vial, a peristaltic pump operated by a stepper motor, a dispensing manifold assembly to which may be coupled at least one final product vial, an optional quality check station, and an optional waste collection system. A concentration, activity, and volume (CAV) sensor may be incorporated into the system to receive a radiopharmaceutical product directly from a synthesizing unit. A control system may be integrated into the system to provide automated control of various aspects of the radiopharmaceutical dispensing process. The system is used to aseptically dispense finished radiopharmaceuticals into receiving vessels, such as a Quality Control vial, a sterility vial, and/or final product vials, while providing users an efficient means for removing and discarding contaminated disposable components.

Filed:
Sep 7, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/606591
Inventors:
Dennis ESHIMA - Phoenix AZ, US
Mehmet HUSNU - Phoenix AZ, US
Jim STONE - Alpharetta GA, US
Assignee:
CARDINAL HEALTH 414, LLC - Dublin OH
International Classification:
G01T 1/24, A61B 6/04, A61N 5/10, G01T 1/167
US Classification:
600431, 2503361, 250394, 25037013, 600 1
Abstract:
A tumor treatment apparatus may include an array of collimated CZT detectors configured to intersect a known coordinate and measure gamma radiation activity, for example at 511 keV. A radiation delivery system may be configured to direct radiation through the known coordinate on the basis of the gamma radiation activity. A translatable and rotatable table may be configured to support a tumor host, wherein the tumor is positionable relative to the known coordinate on the basis of the gamma radiation activity emitted by the tumor and measured by the array of collimated CZT detectors. Radiation from the radiation delivery system may be delivered to the tumor at the known coordinate, and may be delivered in an intra-operative surgical environment.
