SmartGuard and Radiopharma Accessories by Comecer

Introduction

In the field of nuclear medicine, precision, safety, and operational efficiency are fundamental. Comecer takes the lead, providing integrated solutions specifically designed for nuclear medicine departments. These solutions go beyond mere ease of use; they are instrumental in addressing the evolving safety demands for both healthcare professionals and patients.

To deliver maximum efficiency tailored to the specific needs of hospital facilities, Comecer has introduced SmartGuard. It is a comprehensive system that tackles the complexities of radiation-based therapies and diagnostics through modular environmental monitoring systems. These systems offer a harmonious fusion of cutting-edge technology and adherence to stringent safety protocols.

In addition to the renowned SmartGuard solution, Comecer offers a wide range of accessories designed to seamlessly integrate into hospital departments and PET cyclotron laboratories. These accessories, such as Mobile PET lead shields, shielded waste containers, stainless steel workbenches, and more, uphold the same high standards of quality and safety that characterize all Comecer products.

SmartGuard: Empowering Effortless Environmental Monitoring

SmartGuard by Comecer stands as a modular system for continuous, real-time monitoring of environmental radiation. It furnishes operators with an immediate, comprehensive view of potential hazards throughout the facility, streamlining oversight and ensuring safety.
The modular nature of Comecer's SmartGuard environmental monitoring system empowers PET-cyclotron centers, radiopharmacies and Nuclear Medicine Departments to create a controlled monitoring environment. It encompasses all tools for managing and documenting alarm levels and measurement data exceeding limits, presenting it clearly and intuitively.

SmartGuard_Environmental-Monitoring-SystemHighlights:

  • Modular and flexible system
  • Real-time control and monitoring
  • Exportable event history
  • Virtual mapping
  • Email notifications for events
  • Up to 128 detection units
  • Compliant with cGMP standards

Flexible Monitoring System Tailored to Your Needs

The system's flexibility lies in its ability to adapt configurations to the facility's specific requirements, whether regulatory or for production control and radiation safety.

This modular system allows for both small-scale decentralized setups and larger, centralized monitoring systems within departments, ensuring compliance with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) requirements for cleanable surfaces and concealed wiring.

The SmartGuard Software package at the core of the SmartGuard system enables users to obtain an overview of all events, collect and analyze measurement data, and configure and manage devices within customized facility maps.

Customized virtual maps are designed to adapt to your facility. Each map is comprised of four levels: area, zone, rooms, and devices. An area represents a monitored section of the facility, with rooms containing zones housing various devices.

Measurement data is automatically collected and organized within the software into easily interpretable graphs or grids. Every device connected to the system can be remotely configured via the software.

Key Benefits of SmartGuard Solutions

  • Immediate Device Status Overview

    The remote display VMS-RD enables a quick glance at the status of measuring devices across your entire facility through an intuitive and user-friendly interface

  • Automated Notifications

    Receive automated email alerts if a measuring device triggers an alarm, ensuring prompt attention to critical events

  • Direct Alarming

    Strategically placed light columns (VMS-LAs) provide direct notifications in case of an alarm, enhancing safety protocols and response time

  • Seamless Integration

    SmartGuard’s VMS software offers an optional BACnet interface, seamlessly merging with your existing Building Management System (BMS). This integration allows the VMS to synchronize with the BMS, functioning according to your facility's needs

  • Efficient Reporting

    The online reporting capabilities of VMS facilitate a paperless system, enabling efficient and organized data reporting

  • Centralized Device Configuration

    Configure all devices from a single location using VMS, eliminating the need to physically access dispersed devices across the facility

In conclusion, SmartGuard by Comecer stands as an efficient, customizable, and responsive solution, streamlining the monitoring and management of environmental radiation in nuclear medicine facilities.

High-Quality Containment Accessories

Comecer not only presents cutting-edge solutions like SmartGuard but also offers a wide range of containment accessories designed to integrate seamlessly into hospital departments and PET cyclotron laboratories.

Comecer's accessory catalog boasts over fifty options, and the ones listed below are just a taste of the extensive range. Each accessory is tailor-made to meet the highest standards of quality and safety that define the brand.

From mobile PET lead shielding devices to dedicated shielded waste containers, stainless steel workbenches to decontamination showers, lead brick enclosures to shielded refrigerators, and the radionuclide transfer system, these accessories are not only focused on maximizing safety for operators and patients but are also designed to harmoniously blend into the work environment, ensuring uncompromised operational efficiency.

Furniture for storage of radioactive material

Among the accessories that Comecer has designed and tested to ensure greater safety in a workplace where the risk of contamination is high, there are furniture items intended for the storage of radioactive material. For example, the shielded cabinet DKR, made of AISI 304 stainless steel with a thickness of 1.5 mm and Scotch-Brite finishing, allows the storage of low-activity kits; the double workbench ISOLA, in stainless steel, features a raised border for the safe disposal of radioactive residues; the shielded refrigerating cell FSI-C or the more compact KK-102, with a stainless-steel cell, are designed for the storage of low-activity thermosensitive radioactive kits; the shielded storage bench SR4 is finally designed for the temporary storage of radioactive waste.

Workbenches

Even among workbenches, Comecer stands out for its variety of offerings. Stainless steel workbenches Wtl, Wt1, Wt3, Wtl-Sc, for example, have different designs for different laboratory needs (with or without a sink, to name one); as well as workbenches with waste module MWC-102/MWC-202, in complete stainless steel and with a shielded waste compartment, or shielded drawer safes MGL-102/MGL-103/MGL-104, designed for the combined storage of isotopes and Tc-99m generators.

Containers for transporting vials

And then there is the whole series related to shielded containers for transporting vials. Among these, the lead-shielded container CF18 PB, coated in lead with AISI 304 stainless steel; the CF18 T variant, made of tungsten for the transport of radioisotopes; the series of safe transport containers Cp, for the safe transport and storage of radioactive substances; the container Cp CT made of steel with rubber wheels, foldable handle for towing, and screw device for locking; finally, the shielded container PSN for the transport of syringes with its own shield.

Shower and WC

Finally, referring to the dedicated page, we highlight all those accessories that integrate with the water element. Here are the stainless steel sinks LRI/LRI-SC, the decontamination shower DMI & DMI-SC (with drainage system discharge), and the shielded WC series WDL for the disposal of radioactive organic waste.

These listed articles represent only a fraction of the over fifty accessories that Comecer offers for the radiopharmaceutical needs of hospital facilities. For more detailed information, including technical data, we invite you to visit this specific page. Furthermore, thanks to this wide range of accessories, Comecer can guarantee personalized solutions for every type of facility.
