Device for delivering radioactive gas from a sealed vial

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5638996
A gun type device for removing radioactive gas from a sealed hypodermic type vial. The device includes a sealable recess including a pair of concentric hollow needles which penetrate the vial upon the closing of the chamber with a vial still remaining within a lead shielded container which then forms a part of the sealed chamber. An inlet port under control of a push button valve conducts an inert gas under compression through one of said needles to displace and mix with the radioactive gas and force the same through the other of said needles to an outlet port controlled by a second valve.
