ABSTRACT:
A shielded radioisotope injector device and a related method for its use. A conventional, unshielded hypodermic syringe is provided with a bypass insert between the syringe and needle, and a flexible tube coupled to the bypass insert provides an extended-length path from the needle to the syringe, most of the tube being contained within a shielded container. The radioisotope is drawn into the tube after an inert solution, such as saline, is first drawn in, then a further quantity of the inert solution is drawn in, to move the radioisotope totally into the shielded portion of the tube. Administration of the radioisotope as an intravenous injection, including pre- and post-injections of saline, is effected by driving the stored material into a patient's bloodstream.
