System and Method for Planning and Monitoring Multi-Dose Radiopharmaceutical Usage on Radiopharmaceutical Injectors
First Claim
1. A method of planning and monitoring radiopharmaceutical usage, the method comprising:
- receiving a patient schedule for a plurality of radiopharmaceutical injection procedures;
based on the patient schedule, determining a multi-dose container configuration for use during the plurality of radiopharmaceutical injection procedures;
wirelessly transferring the patient schedule to a radiopharmaceutical fluid delivery system;
wirelessly providing the multi-dose container configuration to the radiopharmaceutical fluid delivery system;
conducting the plurality of radiopharmaceutical injection procedures based on the patient schedule;
wirelessly monitoring the multi-dose container configuration during the plurality of radiopharmaceutical injection procedures;
determining whether there is a risk that at least one of the plurality of radiopharmaceutical injection procedures may not be completed properly due to one or more patient schedule changes; and
providing an alert in response to the risk being determined.

17. A radiopharmaceutical fluid delivery device comprising:
-
a radiopharmaceutical source comprising a multi-dose container; a disposable administration set configured to allow fluid flow from the radiopharmaceutical source to a patient; a pumping mechanism in operative communication with the disposable administration set and the radiopharmaceutical source, and configured to pump fluid from the radiopharmaceutical source through the disposable administration set to the patient; a control unit operatively coupled to the pumping mechanism, and configured to wirelessly receive a patient schedule, determine a multi-dose container configuration for use during a plurality of radiopharmaceutical injection procedures, control the pumping mechanism to conduct the plurality of radiopharmaceutical injection procedures based on the patient schedule, monitor the multi-dose container configuration during the plurality of radiopharmaceutical injection procedures, determine whether there is a risk that at least one of the plurality of radiopharmaceutical injection procedures may not be completed properly due to one or more patient schedule changes, and provide an alert in response to the risk being determined; and a display unit wirelessly coupled to the control unit for displaying the patient schedule. - View Dependent Claims (18)
