Technical Details Of RADGIL2

Fast, Safe And Effective

RADGIL2® is a specially designed X-ray radiator designed and built to prevent Transfusion Associated Graft Versus Host Disease (TA-GVHD), a rare one but often fatal reaction caused by T lymphocytes of the donor when transferred to the recipient through a transfusion of blood components. By now, X-ray irradiation represents the method official and safer to prevent TA-GVHD and replace Cesio 137 irradiators, historically used for same purpose. The cesium irradiators present several problems, including the fact that the isotopes they contain they remain active and dangerous for decades. In addition they require specific skills from the operator in addition to additional security measures. RADGIL2®, on the other hand, is a completely safe system, simple to use, quick and extremely effective. RADGIL2® is also indicated for use in the field of research, including irradiation of cells and tissues, of small ones animals or for other laboratory tests. The standard configuration of RADGIL2® includes a system rotating for the treatment of blood bags with two types of baskets. The baskets can have 3 or 4 compartments and can simultaneously receive up to 6 bags of blood components. The necessary dose of X-rays to be emitted, it can be varied and programmed by changing the parameters of the machine. The estimated dose appears on the monitor and, once the treatment has started, a bar shows the time remaining for the completion of the treatment.

Data Entry And Transfer

Using the optional bar code reader, the RADGIL2® can automatically associate the IDs of each bag to the results of the treatment (bag ID, operator ID,date and time,treatment parameters, any alarms, etc.)
The optional printer produces a label containing the relevant data of each irradiated bag
All data are saved in a database and can be exported in xxx.csv format via USB stick or Ethernet connection (Ethernet connection could request software updates based on the application used on the receiving computer for data processing)Performance For the treatment of blood (bags)
Up to 1800ml or 6bags
Rotating basket to guarantee the homogeneity of the dose
A dose of 30 Gray(adjustable) takes approximately 5 minutes of treatment

For the treatment of other products:

The rotating basketcan be removed
The maximum irradiation area is equal to one surface with 29cm Ø
The maximum height of a sample, to be loaded into the machine, is equal to 29cm
As an option,aluminum filters are available or copper, capable of modulating the flow of X-rays

Dose Measurement

Integrated sensor:

Solid state sensor positioned inside the radiation chamber
Automatic verification test at each restart or every 8 hours
Cross check with the programmed parameters. A beep and a message on the monitor highlight a deviation between the measured and programmed values Laboratory dosimetric measurement carried out by qualified expert
