Safe and straightforward work processes for staff members
There is significant progress in the field of radioligand therapies. This will not only lead to a spectacular increase in the number of hospital treatments, but also in the amount of radioactive waste water. Which in turn limits the treatment capacity and creates environmental risks.
The Zereau Toilet Filter System can be connected directly to the sewage system. Or, as an extra line of defence, to your existing decay tanks. There are two different stages in the Zereau Filter System:
With one Toilet Filter Systems you are able to perform 150-250 treatments in a private isolation chamber annually. In case of shared rooms or shared use of the toilet, this number increases manifold.
The stainless steel Zereau Toilet functions just like any other toilet. With separate flush buttons for number one and number two. The outside is simple and easy to clean. The inside is disinfected automatically.
The nursing staff change the filters per patient, or per day in cases of day treatment with multiple patients. How does that work?
Our filter techniques are proven beyond doubt and they remove up to 99.995% of (nuclear) medicine, even lutetium 177m.
The vacuum toilet uses less than 1 liter per flush (instead of 7). This is not only economical, but also means much less water storage when connected to a waste tank.
Minimises the amount of waste water and costs a fraction of a traditional waste tank system.
A normal water connection, a socket and possibly* a drain to the sewage system or decay tank. That’s all it takes.
*The system even functions without sewage connection.
Every Zereau Toilet has a mobile phone modem. This eliminates the need for nursing staff or technical support to enter the isolation chamber, and Zereau can provide remote support if necessary. A lot safer.
An MCA with Na-I crystal can measure the activity of the filtered water and the filters very accurately. This allows you to decide if water can be discharged, and for how long the fixed filter has to be stored.
The nursing staff change the filters per patient, or per day in cases of day treatment with multiple patients. How does that work?
Detach the filters and store them in the safe lead-lined storage box in the nuclear storage.* The radioactive filter automatically slides from the lead sleeve into the storage box. The lead sleeve that is used as a shield in the system can be reused. *When the system is not connected to a decay tank or the sewage system, the water tank containing clean water can be taken out.
The filter is safely stored in the nuclear storage. The duration of storage is dependent on the radioligand therapy, the patient and the local (national) regulations. The radiation supervisor will take care of this.
You place clean filters back in the system and press ‘start’. That’s it!
