Vexcal AV03 Dose Calibrator Ionisation Chamber Activity Meter

A pressurised-ionisation-chamber dose calibrator with 5-second measurement cycle, MBq and mCi readout, and user-configurable calibration factors per isotope and per source geometry. CDSCO approved and AERB compliant — the essential activity meter for every nuclear medicine hotlab and radiopharmacy.

Key Features

  • Pressurised well-type ionisation chamber for all diagnostic and therapeutic radionuclides
  • 5-second measurement cycle for fast, high-throughput dose dispensing
  • Dual display: MBq and mCi — switchable per operator preference
  • CDSCO approved and AERB-compliant — meets the Indian medical-device and nuclear-medicine regulatory requirements
  • User-configurable calibration factors per isotope **and** per source geometry (vial, syringe, dose pot, dose dispenser, capsule) — the operator establishes the factor empirically against a NIST-traceable reference of known activity in the same geometry used for patient doses

All Features

  • Pressurised well-type ionisation chamber for all diagnostic and therapeutic radionuclides
  • 5-second measurement cycle for fast, high-throughput dose dispensing
  • Dual display: MBq and mCi — switchable per operator preference
  • CDSCO approved and AERB-compliant — meets the Indian medical-device and nuclear-medicine regulatory requirements
  • User-configurable calibration factors per isotope **and** per source geometry (vial, syringe, dose pot, dose dispenser, capsule) — the operator establishes the factor empirically against a NIST-traceable reference of known activity in the same geometry used for patient doses
  • No pre-programmed isotope factors — the manufacturer does not ship assumed-geometry calibration factors, because the chamber response to the same isotope changes with vial type, fill volume, syringe shielding and dose-pot dimensions, and an assumed factor would mask real geometry-dependent accuracy errors
  • Touchscreen tablet readout via standard USB — clear under hotlab lighting
  • Internal battery on the ionisation chamber — maintains stability during power outages
  • Built-in QA memory — stores constancy, accuracy and linearity records
  • Automatic background subtraction — accurate measurements in high-activity environments
  • Data logging for NABH and AERB audit trail
  • PC connectivity via USB for records management
  • Low maintenance — sealed ionisation chamber, no consumables required

Technical Specifications

Detector type Pressurised well-type ionisation chamber
Calibration factors Operator-set per isotope **and** per source geometry — no pre-programmed factors. The hotlab establishes the factor against a NIST-traceable reference of known activity in the same geometry used for patient doses.
Geometry handling Independent stored factor per geometry (vial, syringe, dose pot, dose dispenser, capsule). Adding a new container type means establishing and storing a new factor before clinical use.
Measurement time 5 seconds per reading
Activity display units MBq and mCi (switchable)
Activity range kBq to GBq scale (isotope- and geometry-dependent)
Reproducibility ≤ 0.5%
Background correction Automatic background subtraction
User interface Touchscreen tablet, dedicated software, USB connection to ionisation chamber
Power resilience Internal battery on ionisation chamber — maintains stability during power outages
Data output Touchscreen readout; USB connectivity for records / printing
Compliance CDSCO approved (Indian medical-device registration); AERB Technical Standards for Nuclear Medicine Facilities

Applications

Activity measurement — the foundation of nuclear medicine QA

Pre-dispensing Activity Verification

Measure generator eluate, radiopharmaceutical preparations and unit doses before patient administration. Mandatory QA step in every nuclear medicine hotlab.

Post-radiolabelling QC

Verify final product activity after Tc-99m cold-kit labelling, Ga-68 synthesis or Lu-177 DOTATATE preparation. Confirms dispensing accuracy before release.

Waste Activity Measurement

Measure residual activity in vials, syringes and waste containers for radioactive decay management and AERB-compliant waste disposal records.

Therapy Dose Preparation

Accurate activity measurement for high-dose I-131 and Lu-177 therapy preparations. 5-second cycle minimises operator exposure during high-activity measurements.

Generator Calibration Checks

Eluate activity measurement post-elution to verify generator yield and confirm consistency with stated calibration values.

Constancy and Linearity QC

AERB-required daily constancy checks and periodic linearity testing. Built-in logging and print functions support regulatory audit trails.

Why Vexcal AV03 Dose Calibrator?

Per-geometry
Calibration done correctly

A calibration factor is not just isotope-specific — it is isotope **and** geometry specific. The same Lu-177 activity in a 10 mL P6 vial reads differently from a 3 mL syringe or a tungsten dose pot. The Vexcal stores an independent factor for every isotope-geometry combination the lab uses, so the operator is never relying on a pre-programmed factor that silently assumes the wrong container.

5 sec
Fast throughput

A 5-second cycle keeps pace with busy morning dispensing sessions — measure, record, move on. Critical for PET departments where Ga-68 half-life (68 min) demands rapid workflow from synthesis to patient.

CDSCO + AERB
Regulatory acceptance

CDSCO approval covers the Indian medical-device registration. AERB Technical Standards for Nuclear Medicine Facilities frame the dose calibrator QA requirements — daily constancy, annual accuracy, periodic linearity, geometry-specific factors. The Vexcal supports the full workflow with documented records the inspection officer expects.
