Positron emission tomography and other methods of isotope diagnostics and radiotherapy require the use of radiopharmaceuticals, which are manufactured in specialized radiation laboratories in compliance with the requirements of clean rooms, good manufacturing practice (GMP) and radiation protection and control.
Designing laboratories for the production of radiopharmaceuticals
Designing laboratories for the production of radiopharmaceuticals
Radioactive pharmaceuticals (RFPs) are medicinal products containing radioisotopes (radioactive chemical elements) used for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, along with other components. Such drugs are used in various fields, including visualization of human organs and cancer treatment. The production of RFP is one of the complex and very significant directions in medicine. Such work requires the organization of strict conditions in accordance with norms and requirements. In the manufacturing process, the development of radioisotopes, radiochemical synthesis, and even constant quality control are carried out. The process uses complex equipment and materials that require correct installation, as well as competent and safe storage. Designing laboratories for the production of radiopharmaceuticals is a complex task that can only be handled by professionals with relevant experience.
Design features of RFP laboratories
The requirements for laboratories for the production of radioactive pharmacological preparations are very high. This is the conditions under which production is carried out. Key requirements for organization and planning are determined by the following features:
- work with radioactive drugs;
- the need for correct installation of various types of specialized equipment;
- requirements for the cleanliness of industrial and other premises;
- organization of appropriate radiation protection for laboratory workers;
- proper storage and transportation of radiopharmaceuticals and components from which they are produced;
- correct organization of engineering networks.
In the design process, it is necessary to comply with normative requirements and standards, the ratio of the area of the room and the installation area, as well as the peculiarities and directions of the work of the laboratory. The project can be developed for the construction of a laboratory from scratch, as well as reconstruction, expansion, re-equipment and other purposes.
A high-quality and professional technological design of laboratories for the production of radiopharmaceuticals allows you to achieve the following goals:
- to develop an effective volumetric planning solution in accordance with the placement of special equipment;
- place all interconnected departments and services in the most rational way in accordance with technological processes and flows;
- to form a detailed plan and recommendations for the organization of engineering communications;
- ensure a balance between the client’s requirements, standards and regulations of legislation and safety;
- optimize the use of space and available resources to achieve savings in the process of implementation and operation;
- guarantee the support of the project by a professional team until receiving a positive conclusion of the examination.
A high-quality design of a laboratory for the production of radiopharmaceuticals should be ordered only from a specialized company that has experience in designing such facilities.
