Applications
A routine Tc-99m tier plus stepped-up tiers covering the higher-energy SPECT range
Tc-99m routine kit dispensing
Daily Tc-99m cold-kit dispensing — MDP (bone scan), MIBI (cardiac perfusion), ECD (brain perfusion), MAG3 (renal), DMSA (cortical renal). The routine SPECT tier keeps per-dispense extremity dose comfortably inside the annual budget.
I-131 therapy capsule + solution
Stepped-up lead tier for I-131 oral capsule decant and bulk-solution withdrawal. I-131 needs more lead attenuation than Tc-99m; the stepped-up tier pairs with bench-side shielding for higher-activity work.
Ga-67 + In-111 + Tl-201 dispense
Stepped-up tiers for the higher-energy SPECT isotopes — Ga-67 (gallium scan), In-111 (Octreoscan / WBC labelling), Tl-201 (cardiac stress). Tier selection follows the dominant photopeak energy per protocol.
Paediatric SPECT dispense
Smaller-syringe sizes for paediatric Tc-99m kit dispensing where the volume per patient dose is much smaller. The smaller chassis is easier to handle for the careful low-volume aspiration paediatric work needs.
Generator-eluate bulk withdrawal
Larger-syringe shield for Tc-99m bulk withdrawal from the generator eluate before per-patient dispense. The single-use bulk syringe carries the day's Tc-99m inventory; the shield keeps the bulk handling extremity-dose-protected the same way the per-patient dispense is.
AERB inspection-ready records
Per-batch lead-thickness certificate + lead-glass thickness certificate ship with every shield. The radiation-safety officer files the certificates in the per-instrument record; the AERB inspector reads them off the inspection dossier at the routine visit.
Why Saxsons SPECT Lead-Lined Syringe Shield?
The routine tier is the engineered match between lead attenuation at Tc-99m photopeak energy and the operator ergonomics of a high-throughput dispensing bench. Going thicker on a Tc-99m shield adds chassis weight and operator fatigue with negligible dose-rate benefit; the routine tier is picked for the daily cold-kit dispense.
Designed and manufactured in India at Saxsons Healthcare Pvt. Ltd.'s New Delhi facility. Per-batch lead-thickness certificate + lead-glass thickness certificate ship with every consignment; the AERB inspection dossier reads them off the per-instrument record.
A SPECT facility that handles I-131 capsules or solution alongside Tc-99m needs a separate, thicker shield tier. The stepped-up tier covers I-131 dispensing, paired with bench-side shielding when the per-dispense activity is high.

FAQ
SPECT syringe shielding, 140 keV extremity dose — questions we hear from Indian NM teams
Why unshielded Tc-99m dispensing quickly burns the AERB 500 mSv extremity budget, how to pick the right lead thickness for Tc-99m vs Ga-67 vs I-131, what the lead-glass side window solves at the dispensing bench, and which sizes and workflows the family covers.
Q.Why does routine SPECT Tc-99m dispensing need a syringe shield at all?
Tc-99m emits 140 keV gamma at every dispensing draw and every patient injection. Without a shield, the technologist's fingers sit millimetres from the source for the full contact time — 30 to 60 seconds per patient across 20–40 patients per day for MDP bone scans, MIBI myocardial perfusion and MAG3 renogram workflows. Extremity dose accumulates fast. A 3 mm Pb syringe shield attenuates 140 keV by more than 99.95 % (roughly 11 half-value layers), so the finger dose per dispensing drops to a small fraction of the unshielded exposure — the technologist stays comfortably under the AERB 500 mSv annual extremity limit across the year.
Q.Which lead thickness matches which SPECT isotope?
3 mm Pb is the routine Tc-99m tier (140 keV). 6 mm Pb steps up to Ga-67 (93 / 185 / 300 / 393 keV) and In-111 (171 / 245 keV). 9 mm Pb covers I-131 therapy dispensing (364 keV) and In-111 higher-throughput workflows. The Saxsons SPECT shield family carries all three tiers so a department running a mixed SPECT + I-131 practice picks the shield tier that matches each isotope line rather than over-shielding routine Tc-99m.
Q.What does the lead-glass side window actually solve at the dispensing bench?
The technologist has to see the syringe barrel to draw the correct volume against the calibration mark. Without a viewing window, either the shield covers the barrel (and the volume can't be verified) or the barrel is exposed (and the finger dose spikes). The lead-glass side window is lead-equivalent to the surrounding shielding but optically transparent — the technologist sees the barrel, reads the calibration scale engraved on the shield, and doses accurately without exposing the hand.
Q.Which syringe sizes and dispensing workflows does the shield family cover?
Sizes 1 / 2 / 3 / 5 / 10 cc with thumb-screw closure and a size-scaled shield body per capacity. The persona-hub workflow post walks through per-kit dispensing — MDP (bone), MIBI (perfusion), ECD (brain), MAG3 (renogram), DMSA (renal cortical), pertechnetate thyroid — plus the higher-energy step-up matrix for Ga-67, In-111 and I-131 lines when the department runs a mixed practice.
Q.Is this a distributor-supplied shield or Saxsons-manufactured?
The SPECT Lead-Lined Syringe Shield family is a Saxsons own-brand product — designed and manufactured in India by Saxsons Healthcare Pvt. Ltd. under SKU NM-033. The SS-202 standard / SS-304 medical-grade outer finish, thumb-screw lock, lead-glass viewing window and per-syringe-size shield bodies are engineered specifically for the SPECT dispensing workflows of Indian NM departments.
