Cabinet structure configurations for infusion systems
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An infusion system comprising:
- a strontium-rubidium radioisotope generator contained within a shielding assembly that provides a barrier to radioactive radiation with a surrounding environment, the strontium-rubidium radioisotope generator being configured to generate radioactive eluate via elution by pumping an eluant through the strontium-rubidium radioisotope generator using a pump;
an alarm system configured to generate at least one of an audible and a visual alarm; and
a computer communicatively coupled to the strontium-rubidium radioisotope generator and the alarm system, the computer being configured to control the alarm system to provide an alarm during all times when the pump is pumping eluant through the strontium-rubidium radioisotope generator and thereby generating radioactive eluate via elution.

Abstract
A cabinet structure for an infusion system includes a platform, on which the system is mounted, and a shell surrounding an interior space, which contains at least a portion of the system. The shell preferably includes an opening that is sized and oriented to allow a lowering of a radioisotope generator, for the system, into the interior space, and a lifting of the generator out from the interior space. The shell may further include another opening, located at a higher elevation than the aforementioned opening, in order to provide access to a waste bottle of the infusion system.
