Packaging
All radiopharmaceuticals are classified as hazardous materials and need packaging with a UN marking. Radiopharmaceuticals can be packaged in a variety of configurations and shipped under strict environmental controls. Using highly trained and specialized team, PARS ISOTOPE has developed special packaging designs for the delivery of its products. All radiopharmaceutical packagings submit to the national and international regulatorys authorities for the transportation of radioactive products. The packaging which is designed at PARS ISOTOPE had passed all the standard quality control tests by the National Radiation Protection Department (NRPD) and approved as type A radioactive packaging. These packagings are in a metal or plastic drum with light preservative polymer as holder of lead shield containing radiopharma- ceutical. The packages are marked with a yellow ΙΙ category labell which includes the type of radiopharmaceutical, the activity and transport index (TI). Radiopharmaceuticals after placing in packages are sealed, labeled and shipped to the customers.
