Saxsons own-brand decontamination kit for the radioactive-material spill response that every nuclear-medicine facility must hold ready under the AERB radiation-safety SOP. The kit covers the full response chain: PPE for the operator and helper (gloves, masks, coverall, shoe covers, caps), Bind-It™ surface-chemistry decontaminant for fixing contamination, surface cleaner + wet-decontamination vessels, contaminated-material collection bags + radiation-tag chain-of-custody labels, cordon rope + sunboard signage for area control, forceps for sharps / small-item retrieval, and the lead-lined decay drum (3 mm / 6 mm Pb tier) for half-life-based hold of the contaminated waste before final biomedical-waste disposal. SPECT (Tc-99m / I-131) and PET (FDG / Ga-68) variants. Designed and manufactured in India by Saxsons Healthcare Pvt. Ltd. in an ISO 9001 / ISO 13485 approved plant.

The kit that satisfies AERB SOP without requiring the radiation-safety officer to assemble from multiple suppliers
3 mm Pb decay drum · Bind-It™ + full PPE + cordon pack for a Tc-99m vial drop, syringe break or kit-reconstitution spill. Drum holds the contaminated absorbent paper for ~ 72 h Tc-99m decay-out before transfer to biomedical waste.
6 mm Pb decay drum (T½ = 8 days · ~ 80-day hold to 0.1 % residual). Bind-It™ surface chemistry + full PPE. Critical for I-131 therapy ward spill response where the activity per drop can be 75–250 mCi.
PET variant kit · 6 mm Pb drum (F-18 ~ 18 h, Ga-68 ~ 11 h hold). Includes wiper + brush for dispense-bench surface decontamination. Cu-64 work covered by the same 6 mm tier.
PET variant + EDTA chelating chemistry. Lu-177 (T½ = 6.7 days · ~ 67-day hold) plus the β contribution requires the 6 mm Pb tier minimum. EDTA helps with the chelating chemistry leftover from PSMA-617 / FAPI labelling buffers.
AERB licence renewal requires a ready-deployable decontamination kit at every dispensing site. The Saxsons kit lines up with the standard list — PPE + chemistry + decay-hold container + cordon — without the radiation-safety officer having to assemble from multiple suppliers.
Existing facilities with a Saxsons (or other) decay drum can re-order chemistry-only consumables (Bind-It, PPE, polybags, tags) without re-buying the lead drum.
Standard radiopharmacy spill-response chemistry. Bind-It™ fixes radioactive contamination to a wipe-cloth substrate so the surface can be wiped clean in one pass; the wipe-cloth then goes into the lead-lined decay drum for half-life-based hold. Reduces the number of wet-decontamination passes per spill event.
The decontamination kit and the decay-hold drum belong together — the contaminated wipe-cloths, polybags, gloves and PPE from the spill response need a Pb-shielded container to hold them during the half-life-based decay. The kit includes the drum, sized to the SPECT (3 mm Pb) or PET (6 mm Pb) facility tier.
AERB licence renewal requires every dispensing facility to hold a ready-deployable decontamination kit. The Saxsons kit lines up with the AERB SOP item list — PPE + chemistry + decay-hold container + cordon + signage — without the radiation-safety officer having to source from multiple suppliers and validate compatibility.
