Ultra - Technekow v4- Technetium Tc-99m injection, Solution prescribing information
INDICATIONS AND USAGE
The Ultra-Technekow™ V4 generator is a source of sodium pertechnetate Tc 99m for use in the preparation of FDA-approved diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals, as described in the labeling of these diagnostic radiopharmaceutical kits.
Sodium Pertechnetate Tc 99m is used IN ADULTS as an agent for:
Thyroid Imaging Salivary Gland Imaging Urinary Bladder Imaging (direct isotopic cystography) for detection of vesico-ureteral reflux Nasolacrimal Drainage System Imaging (dacryoscintigraphy)
Sodium Pertechnetate Tc 99m is used IN PEDIATRIC PATIENTS as an agent for:
Thyroid Imaging Urinary Bladder Imaging (direct isotopic cystography) for the detection of vesico-ureteral reflux
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
Sodium Pertechnetate Tc 99m is administered by intravenous injection. When imaging the nasolacrimal drainage system, instill the Sodium Pertechnetate Tc 99m by the use of a device such as a micropipette or similar method which will ensure the accuracy of the dose.
For imaging the urinary bladder and ureters (direct isotopic cystography), the Sodium Pertechnetate Tc 99m is administered by direct instillation aseptically into the bladder via a urethral catheter, following which the catheter is flushed with approximately 200 mL of sterile saline directly into the bladder.
The suggested dose ranges employed for various diagnostic indications in the average ADULT PATIENT (70 kg) are as follows:
Vesico-ureteral imaging: 18.5 to 37 MBq (0.5 to 1 mCi) Thyroid gland imaging: 37 to 370 MBq (1 to 10 mCi) Salivary gland imaging: 37 to 185 MBq (1 to 5 mCi) Nasolacrimal drainage system: Maximum dose of 3.7 MBq (100 µCi)
The recommended dosages in PEDIATRIC PATIENTS are:
Vesico-ureteral imaging: 18.5 to 37 MBq (0.5 to 1 mCi) Thyroid gland imaging: 2.22 to 2.96 MBq (60 to 80 µCi) per kg body weight
The patient dose should be measured by a suitable radioactivity calibration system immediately prior to administration.
Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration whenever solution and container permit. If the solution is discolored, discontinue use of the generator immediately. The solution to be administered as the patient dose should be clear, colorless, and contain no particulate matter.

DESCRIPTION
The Ultra-Technekow ™ V4 Generator is prepared with fission-produced molybdenum Mo-99 adsorbed onto alumina in a column shielded by lead, tungsten, or depleted uranium. The column assembly and shielding are encased in a plastic container that is covered with a plastic elution hood. The elution hood has an opening for the column assembly double inlet needles and an opening for the single outlet needle. The needles accommodate the sterile eluant vials that contain 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection and sterile evacuated collection vials. A sterile vial containing a bacteriostat is supplied with the generator for the customer to aseptically seal the outlet needle after each elution.
This terminally sterilized generator provides a closed system for the production of sterile metastable technetium Tc-99m, which is produced by the decay of molybdenum Mo-99. Incorporated between the column outlet and the collection vial is a sterile 0.22 micrometer filter. Sterile, non-pyrogenic isotonic solutions of Sodium Pertechnetate Tc 99m Injection in 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection can be obtained conveniently by periodic aseptic elution of the generator. These solutions should be clear, colorless, and free from any particulate matter. The Sodium Pertechnetate Tc 99m Injection is suitable for intravenous injection and direct instillation.
The carrier-free solution may be used as is, or diluted to the proper concentration. Over the life of the generator, an elution will contain an amount of technetium Tc-99m in direct proportion to the quantity of Mo-99 decay since the previous elution of the generator. The quantity of Tc-99m in the eluate is determined by quantity of Mo-99 on the column, and the elapsed time between elutions.
Each eluate of the generator should not contain more than the USP limit of 0.15 kilobecquerel molybdenum Mo-99 per megabecquerel technetium Tc-99m (0.15 microcurie Mo-99 per millicurie Tc-99m) per administered dose at the time of administration and an aluminum ion concentration of not more than 10 micrograms per milliliter of the generator eluate, both of which must be determined by the user before administration.
Since the eluate does not contain an antimicrobial agent, it should not be used after 12 hours from the time of generator elution.
Physical Characteristics
Technetium Tc-99m decays by isomeric transition with a physical half-life of 6 hours. The principal photon that is useful for detection and imaging studies is listed in Table 1.
Table 1. Principal Radiation Emission Data
Radiation | Mean Percent Per Disintegration | Energy (keV) |
Gamma-2 | 89.07 | 140.5 |
External Radiation
The specific gamma ray constant for technetium Tc-99m is 0.795 R/hr-mCi at 1 cm. The first half-value layer is 0.023 cm of lead (Pb). A range of values for the relative attenuation of the radiation emitted by this radionuclide that results from interposition of various thicknesses of Pb is shown in Table 2. For example, the use of 0.27 cm thickness of Pb will attenuate the radiation emitted by a factor of about 1000.
Table 2. Radiation Attenuation by Lead Shielding
Shield Thickness (Pb) cm | Coefficient of Attenuation |
0.023 | 0.5 |
0.09 | 10 -1 |
0.18 | 10 -2 |
0.27 | 10 -3 |
Molybdenum Mo-99 decays to technetium Tc-99m with a molybdenum Mo-99 half-life of 2.75 days, or 66 hours (see Table 3). The physical decay characteristics of molybdenum Mo-99 are such that only 88.6% of the decaying molybdenum Mo-99 atoms form technetium Tc-99m. Generator elutions may be made at any time, but the amount of technetium Tc-99m available will depend on the interval measured from the last elution. Approximately 47% of the maximum available technetium Tc-99m is reached after 6 hours and 95% after 23 hours. To correct for physical decay of molybdenum Mo-99 and technetium Tc-99m, the fractions that remain at selected intervals of time are shown in Tables 3 and 4.

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
The pertechnetate ion distributes in the body similarly to the iodide ion but is not organified when trapped in the thyroid gland. Pertechnetate concentrates in the thyroid gland, salivary glands, stomach and choroid plexus. After intravenous administration it gradually equilibrates with the extracellular space. A fraction is promptly excreted via the kidneys.
Following the administration of Sodium Pertechnetate Tc 99m as an eye drop, the drug mixes with tears within the conjunctival space. Within seconds to minutes it leaves the conjunctival space and escapes into the inferior meatus of the nose through the nasolacrimal drainage system. During this process the pertechnetate ion passes through the canaliculi, the lacrimal sac and the nasolacrimal duct. In the event of any anatomical or functional blockage of the drainage system there will be a backflow resulting in tearing (epiphora). Thus the pertechnetate escapes the conjunctival space in the tears.
While the major part of the pertechnetate escapes within a few minutes of normal drainage and tearing, it has been documented that there is some degree of transconjunctival absorption with turnover of 1.5% per minute in normal individuals, 2.1% per minute in patients without any sac and 2.7% per minute in patients with inflamed conjunctiva due to chronic dacryocystitis. Individual values may vary but these rates are probably representative and indicate that the maximum possible pertechnetate absorbed will remain below one thousandth of that used in other routine diagnostic procedures.
