RTS
Radionuclide transfer system

The high flexibility and modularity represent Comecer RTS radionuclide transfer system’s added value.

Comecer RTS radionuclide transfer system is available in 2 main configurations:

• STANDARD: consisting of 2 valves with always one entry and 1 distribution multi-port valve (with 8 positions).
• CUSTOMIZED: it is possible to add more valves and more multiports, accordind to the customer needed.

Each RTS unit also includes:

• a distribution panel containing the components, such as multi-position valves, arrangement for connection to distribution lines, and any optional features, the electrical board with PLC,
• a PC (to manage/control the RTS system from the control room).

Multi-port distribution valve

The multi-port valve for radionuclide transfer, supplied by VICI, has the following features:

• pneumatically actuated,
• high torque,
• seal is assured thanks to the construction materials and narrowtolerances on the components used,
• high resistance to ionising radiations,
• low dead volumes.

Safety

Each radiofluid line from the cyclotron features an integrated valve for safety stop to prevent radiofluid transfer in the case where the RTS system or destination cell are not ready.

The Comecer RTS radionuclide transfer system is designed to be able to manage and send a radiofluid to an individual cell: the operator selects the radiofluid and the destination cell on the control system.

Software compliant with standard cfr21 part 11

The compliance of the software with the regulation CFR21 part 11 is self-certified by Comecer following a documented analysis of the regulation requirements and a description is provided of how these requirements are applied in software development. The requirements related to CFR21 part 11 are also validated with a testing protocol (STS Software Test Specifications).

The software is supplied with the following features:

• control and safety of operator accesses to the system
• audit trail
• archiving and retrieval of archived data.
