Biodex Medical Systems has redesigned its PET Unit Dose Table with added features to help maximize work area and protection.

The PET Unit Dose Table includes the compact L-block shield with built-in dose calibrator shield providing 1.5-inch thickness lead shielding in front and 1-inch thick lead in the base and in the chamber shield. Once the dose calibrator chamber is placed in the shield, the chamber support shelf provides 1-inch thick lead shielding. The built-in PET sharps container shield is constructed of steel and lined with 1-inch thick lead, said Biodex.

To further maximize work space, the dose calibrator display unit mounts on a stand above the countertop while two shelves provide storage space for PET shipping containers, syringe shields and other small items, according to the Shirley, N.Y.-based company.
