The redundancy layer of an Indian cyclotron radiopharmacy
In Indian cyclotron radiopharmacies, µ DDS-A is positioned as the backup dispenser to the primary CRP/FLEX workflow. When the primary dispenser is out for service or maintenance, µ DDS-A keeps F-18 unit-dose production flowing — same workflow shape, different module.
The default output format is the already-shielded syringe, ready to leave the cell for the injection room. The module handles the syringe draw under automation — operators stay out of the cell during the draw.
Also dispenses open and closed vials per (the manufacturer spec) — covering the vial-product workflows alongside the syringe path.
Drops into any laminar-flow hot cell with a dose calibrator. A site running an existing host cell can add µ DDS-A as a redundancy layer without commissioning a new shielded enclosure.
Self-shielding add-on available for installations where the host cell shielding is light — pushes some of the radiation protection back onto the module itself, useful for legacy site retrofits.
Built-in manual backup workflow — when the automation is out of service, the radiopharmacist can still complete the dispense via the manual mode without falling back to ad-hoc gear.
A larger (the manufacturer )install base than CRP (100 units) — µ DDS-A is a mature, widely-deployed module. The reference base is reassuring for an Indian cyclotron site adding a backup dispensing layer.
µ DDS-A drops into the host cell the site already has (or buys alongside, e.g. FLEX). The capital decision is a module purchase, not a second-cell purchase — backup capacity without doubling the shielded footprint.
Even the automation has a backup. Built-in manual-mode operation lets the radiopharmacist complete a dispense by hand when µ DDS-A automation itself is being serviced — defense-in-depth for the F-18 workflow.
