PRODUCTS

Q: Does Medi/Nuclear® have a pole mountable radioaerosol delivery system?

A: Yes! Please check out the Aero/Vent Jr. Radioaerosol Delivery System.

 

Q: Medi/Nuclear's® unidirectional (two tube) radioaerosol kits are featured on the website. Are the single tube kits still available?

A: Yes, indeed! While many facilities have upgraded to unidirectional kits, others are pleased with the performance of the original single tube kits. Still available are the Aero/Vent™ Plus and Insta/Vent™ kits. Both are available with either the scuba style Safety Shield™ Mouthpiece or air-cushioned face mask.

 

Q: A knock-off of the Aero/Vent™ Plus radioaerosol kit was mentioned. How is it different?

A: A company in Michigan made a kit to fit inside Medi/Nuclear's® Aero/Vent™ shield. What's missing are Medi/Nuclear's® proprietary ultra-fine particle nebulizer for alveolar delivery and high quality images, and its scuba style Safety Shield™ Mouthpiece and HEPA filter to enhance safety, and better protect against radioactive contamination and infectious disease. Reduced safety, poorer images and lengthier dosing should be expected from the knock-off kit.

 

Q: Does Medi/Nuclear® have Covid safety tips available?

A: Absolutely! Please see the Covid Safety page.

 

Q: How do Medi/Nuclear's® radioaerosol delivery systems compare with Technegas?

A: Medi/Nuclear® believes its Insta/Vent™ Plus Radioaerosol Delivery System with SPECT would provide sufficiently comparable results to Technegas in the areas of image quality, speed of delivery and safety. Regarding convenience, cost, and use with shallow breathers or ventilator dependent patients it would most likely be superior. As the Insta/Vent™ Plus is only available in the USA and Technegas does not yet have FDA approval these two systems have not yet been compared in the field.

 

Q: Is radioaerosol or Xenon delivery better for lung imaging?

A: Radioaerosol and Xenon delivery both have pros and cons. Through the years, radioaerosol delivery has evolved greatly so when it comes to image quality, speed of delivery, safety, and use with SPECT or ventilator dependent patients, radioaerosol delivery is considered to be superior. See the Xenon v. Radioaerosol Comparison found on the Resources page to learn more.

 

Q: Does Medi/Nuclear® sell to research institutes?

A: Absolutely! Medi/Nuclear's® fine particle Neb 3A+ nebulizer is very popular with researchers.

 

Q: Does Medi/Nuclear offer free product trials?

A: Certainly! No obligation trials are available for all of radioaerosol delivery systems. Please contact us for details.
