PRODUCTS

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

A: Yes. Click here to learn more 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. While many facilities have upgraded to unidirectional (two tube) 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. This copycat product is missing 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 for enhanced safety. 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: Yes. Please see the Covid Safety page.

 

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

A: When used with SPECT, Medi Nuclear®'s Insta/Vent Plus Radioaerosol Delivery System may 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.

 

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