Neonatal/Pediatric Products: RadTag®
Irradiation Verification System
Charter Medical has a partnership with
RadTag Technologies to distribute the RadTag®
blood irradiation indicator in the United
States.
RadTag®, is an innovative blood irradiation
indicator. It indicates if the product
received the minimum dose of 15 Gy or
exceeded the maximum allowable dose of 50 Gy.
Simply confirm the sensitive blue dot is the
same as or darker than the 15 Gy color and
if necessary, not darker than the 50 Gy
color. It's that simple.
The RadTag® Irradiation Indicator is
attached to a blood bag prior to the bag's
placement in an irradiator. The sensitive
portion of the indicator is white initially
and changes to a blue color upon exposure to
ionizing radiation; the shade of blue is an
approximation of the amount of radiation
dose delivered. The color change is
permanent and immediate and does not require
any further processing or development. The
amount of color change has been optimized to
give a clear indication that the blood bag
has been processed at levels of irradiation
currently used in the industry. A typical
processing unit will use 25 Gy (2500 rads)
as a specified dose delivered to the central
portion of the irradiation container, and 15
Gy (1500 rads) is the minimum dose at any
other point read more.
