Fit-out · miniGITA Slim
Compact-footprint hot labs show up as four typical patterns — satellite imaging, single-suite theranostic, academic research, disaster-recovery. Each has its own bench plan and its own AERB inspection-record expectation. The Slim chassis answers all four without redesigning the hot lab around the instrument.
When this pattern fits
PET / SPECT centre that receives labelled doses from a central radiopharmacy.
What the instrument owns
Local %RCP verification on receipt — before injection, after transport. Catches transport-induced purity degradation that the despatch certificate cannot.
Bench plan
Single 600 mm bench: dose calibrator at one end, miniGITA Slim at the other, free middle zone for unpacking and dispensing the received transport.
AERB inspection note: AERB satellite-imaging licence: the receiving site's release record is what the inspector reads. A local %RCP gate makes the receiving site inspection-ready independently of the central radiopharmacy.
When this pattern fits
Stand-alone Lu-177 DOTATATE / PSMA-617 clinic, single dispensing suite.
What the instrument owns
Per-batch %RCP release on Lu-177 dispensing — gates the patient injection per the NETTER / VISION-aligned QC programme.
Bench plan
Single dispensing bench: dose calibrator left, Slim chassis centre, sealed-source storage right. The compact footprint keeps the dispensing zone uncrowded.
AERB inspection note: AERB Lu-177 therapy licence: the %RCP release record is part of the per-patient batch record. Compact instrument keeps the QC programme inside the licensed-room footprint.
When this pattern fits
Teaching hospital or research radiopharmacy in a converted-room fit-out with constrained bench depth.
What the instrument owns
Release-grade %RCP for student / trainee work + investigator-initiated protocol QC. Same release semantics as a clinical site, same method library.
Bench plan
L-shaped bench: dispensing arm + QC arm. Slim chassis sits on the QC arm with the dose calibrator and shielded waste; the compact depth keeps both arms below 600 mm.
AERB inspection note: AERB research / teaching licence: the release record still meets clinical-grade audit-trail expectations. The compact chassis does not relax the audit-trail bar.
When this pattern fits
Large central radiopharmacy that needs an instrument-down contingency for the primary radio-TLC scanner.
What the instrument owns
Standby instrument that slides into bench position when the primary scanner is in service. Runs the same method library; release continues without breaking the audit-trail chain.
Bench plan
Lower-shelf storage cabinet houses the Slim chassis when idle. On primary-instrument fault, the Slim moves to bench position; the primary moves to service.
AERB inspection note: AERB inspection: the chain of release records spans both chassis. The audit trail remains continuous; the method library is shared; the inspector cannot tell which chassis produced which release from the record.
