The Capintec CRC-55tR Dose Calibrator calibrator’s design includes a menu driven, color touch screen interface that is easy to learn and use. The ion chamber is a high pressure chamber Capintec design capable of measuring a dose as high as 6 Ci (250 GBq) with high accuracy. Additional features such as USB/PC communications, printer capabilities, USB flash drive software upgrades and plug-and-play chamber make the CRC-55tR calibrator integral in improving your department’s efficiency. The unit features a large, easy-to-read display that indicates Nuclide Name, Number, Activity, Unit of Measure and Calibration Number.

Entering data through the custom touch screen interface is fast and includes 28 programmable keys. The user can choose from 80 nuclides by simply selecting the nuclide symbol on the touch screen interface. Other capabilities include storage of reference sources in memory that automatically decay correct for today’s time and date. Automated quality control tests and self- diagnostics are built-in with automatic zero and background subtraction making the CRC-55tR calibrator user-friendly. An optional printer enables the CRC-55tR unit to print full size records and patient tickets with peel off labels for vial and syringe identification.
