Key advantages
- Cost effective and competitively priced
- Excellent, consistent, image quality based average particle size of 1,32μm
- Low activity requirements – approx. 600 MBq per patient
- Silent operation and low resistance for the patient
- Rapid uptake – 1 to 2 minutes per patient
- Total mobility – can be moved between imaging rooms
The SmartVent system is a portable medical device for multiple patient use that is intended to aerosolize Tc-99m DTPA to assist physicians in diagnosing certain lung diseases.
The control module is very simple to operate and most convenient for the patient based on the low breathing resistance. The product operates without compressed gas, making it suitable for portable applications.
