Saxsons™ Foot-Operated Lead-Lined Waste BinLead-Lined Radioactive-Waste Containment with Hands-Free Foot-Pedal Operation
Saxsons own-brand foot-operated waste bin range for safe containment of contaminated solid waste — used syringes, swabs, vials, gloves, lab paper — from the radiopharmacy dispensing workflow. Configurable shielding-tier ladder covers the dispense-energy range across SPECT (Tc-99m), I-131 therapy, routine PET and high-activity PET / Lu-177 theranostic workflows. Shielding on ALL sides including the lid — operator-facing dose-rate stays inside the AERB / ICRP envelope at any standing position. Hands-free foot-pedal operation minimises hand-contamination risk and reduces hand-time over the open bin. Stainless-steel outer chassis with clean-room / GMP-grade finish option. Wheel-mounted variant for mobile high-throughput radiopharmacies. Designed and manufactured in India by Saxsons Healthcare Pvt. Ltd. in an ISO 9001 / ISO 13485 approved plant.

Key Features
- Saxsons own-brand product — designed and manufactured in India by Saxsons Healthcare Pvt. Ltd. in an ISO 9001 / ISO 13485 approved plant
- Lead shielding on ALL sides including the lid — operator-facing dose-rate stays under AERB / ICRP envelope at any standing position around the bin
- Configurable shielding-tier ladder covers the dispense-energy range — routine SPECT (Tc-99m), I-131 / Ga-67 / In-111 work, routine PET (FDG / Ga-68 / Cu-64), high-activity PET and Lu-177 theranostic (PRRT / PSMA-617) workflows
- Multiple chassis-size options — standard footprint through larger footprints for higher per-shift solid-waste production
- Wheel-mounted high-shielding variant — mobile between dispense stations or to the decay-store room; avoids manual lift-carry of a heavy shielded chassis

Applications
Shielding tier matches the radiopharmaceutical class · all-side + lid shielding keeps operator-facing dose-rate inside envelope
Tc-99m SPECT solid waste
Light-shielding tier for routine cardiac / oncology / renal SPECT lists — used syringes, swabs, vial septa go in via the foot-pedal. Operator hand stays clear of the lid throughout.
I-131 thyroid / Ga-67 / In-111
Stepped-up shielding tier for mid-energy gamma — I-131 ablation prep waste, Ga-67 oncology waste, In-111 octreotide waste. Clean-room-grade stainless outer recommended for the daily wipe-down validation cycle.
Routine PET (FDG / Ga-68 / Cu-64)
PET-tier shielding sized per per-shift cumulative activity. The higher tier in the PET range is the right call for hot-labs dispensing 30+ unit doses per shift where cumulative solid-waste activity accumulates measurably.
Lu-177 theranostic-suite waste
High-shielding tier for PRRT / PSMA-617 / FAPI per-patient prep waste. Mobile wheel variant convenient for ferrying the bin between the dispensing bench and the decay-store after the shift.
High-throughput PET radiopharmacy
Highest-shielding tier for radiopharmacies running multi-dose source-vial PET dispensing. Larger-chassis options available for higher per-shift solid-waste volumes.
Decay-store routing
After the shift, lifted-out polybag transfers to the Saxsons decay drum (matched shielding tier) for the half-life-based hold before final biomedical-waste disposal — chain-of-custody documented on the AERB log.
Why Saxsons™ Foot-Operated Lead-Lined Waste Bin?
Unlike a bench-side shield where the operator stands in front, the waste bin is approached from any angle in the hot lab. Lead shielding on the body, base AND lid means the operator-facing dose-rate is bounded regardless of standing position; the AERB / ICRP cumulative-dose envelope holds across the shift.
The hand that just dispensed a radiopharmaceutical may carry trace contamination. A foot-pedal lid means the operator does not touch the lid surface during waste deposit — the hand-to-surface contamination path is broken, and the daily lid-decontamination wipe-down covers any incidental aerosol.
A high-shielding waste bin weighs significantly more than a light-shielding one. The wheel-mounted variant lets the operator move the high-shielding tier between dispense stations or to the decay-store without manual lift-carry — avoiding wrist / back injury risk and keeping the shielding mass where it needs to be.
