Preparation of Technetium 99 Sulfur Colloid

Procedures
Remove the dark brown plastic cap from the Sulfur Colloid multi dose vial reaction and swap the top of the vial closure with alcohol Aseptically obtain a 1 3 mL of Sodium Pertechnetate Tc 99m with each millimeter containing 500 mCi of activity

Add the Sodium Pertechnetate Tc 99m to the vial

Place a lead cover on the vial shield and dissolve the reagent with a gentle swing. Just before use, remove the red cap from the Solution A vial and swap the top of the vial closure with alcohol to sterilize the surface.

Procedures
Transfer the multi dose vial Reaction from vial shield and place in a vigorously boiling water bath deep enough to drown the whole thing. Remove the MDRV from the water bath and place it in the lead shield and allow it to cool for three minutes. Apply alcohol. Before use, remove the blue cap from the Solution B vial and swap the top of the vial with alcohol to sterilize the surface. Record time and date of preparation Allow the preparation to cool to body temperature before use.

Procedures
Dilute the preparation with sterile NaCl injection to bring the dosage to within the recommended range. Mix the MDRV and aseptically withdraw material with a sterile shielded syringe for use within 6 hours of preparation. Minimize this time for optimum results.
