Orders

Both internal and external orders can be taken manually, with a full audit trail, or automatically via SPECTra’s On-line Ordering Module.

Customer information including delivery addresses, unique pricing details and customised product information can be stored in the customer explorer section to ensure efficient data management.

The Invoicing Module seamlessly integrates with customer orders so they are tracked automatically and can be generated in just a few mouse clicks.

Preparation

SPECTra automatically calculates the required activity for a production session.

Worksheets are automatically generated to ensure your production session fulfils all orders efficiently.

The barcode driven Inventory Management Module ensures materials are available and are in date ahead of each production session.

Production

SPECTra’s allows you to select the generators you want to elute for a particular session.

Activity measurements are captured directly from the Dose Calibrator and logged against server date/time.

Calibrator daily checks are recorded directly in SPECTra − results can be reviewed in the Trending Module.

Activity dilutions/vial split’s are calculated automatically – saving on operator time and avoiding errors in manual calculations.

Quality Control

SPECTra captures data directly from all QC instrumentation used within SPECT radiopharmacy production, bringing it directly into the batch report.

As some QC tests are done manually SPECTra allows for manual data entry with a full audit trail.

For customers wanting to streamline control of their radiochromatography equipment, we have a dedicated single point of control radiochromatography software Laura for PET.

Dispensing

Individual patient doses will be automatically calculated  in-line with each customer’s predefined criteria.

Direct data capture with Dose Calibrator and Balance ensure final product activity and volume
are within an acceptable limit.

Product and transportation labels/documents are automatically generated and available for printing.

Product Release

Throughout the whole production and QC process, SPECTra provides a simple and logical way of reviewing batch progress. This information is available to review from any workstation allowing technicians and quality personnel maximum visibility.

Once all the required tests have been completed successfully, the responsible person can electronically sign off the release.

Batch Reports

All data is consolidated in a single, central repository. This can be printed to a user defined batch report.

SPECTra also features other useful modules including:

Regulatory Compliance

Regulatory Compliance is an essential feature of SPECTra Radiopharmacy LIMS, built to meet FDA 21 CFR part 212 / 11 requirements.
