Mon_Tec SH003 - Gen

An essential medical transport device for nuclear diagnostics applications containing metastable isotope liquids. Guarantees safe and flawless extraction procedure and ensures maximum protection from radioactivity for all involved.

Generator

A technetium generator is like a refillable water dispenser bottle but for nuclear medicine. It safely contains molybdenum-99, a radioactive material that produces technetium-99m, a crucial isotope for diagnostic imaging.

Hospitals and clinics use the generator to extract small doses of technetium-99m for procedures like cancer detection. Once depleted, the generator is sent back to the production facility to be refilled and reused, ensuring a continuous and efficient supply chain for life-saving medical applications.

Getting our dose of radiation

An initial phase is conducted by Monrol with a multidisciplinary team from 7 departments and 2 consultants including a member from mgdesign. The goal was to identify customer habits within target markets and address the existing generator's pain points. Additionally, to see innovation opportunities and create value for all stakeholders in the product life cycle. Monrol facilities, hospitals, and logistic operations are visited and observed. This 12-week workshop lead to a design brief.

With creating the brief, a list of issues seperated in three levels of commitment for the design project: essential, optional, and deferred/future consideration.

Distinctive suspects

Together with the issues brought up by the old product, initial studies and research enabled us to develop our own comprehensive understanding of technetium generator. In addition to Monrol's point of view, adopting a user-centered approach has helped the team to understand the processes and conceptualizations of the operators in both production facilities and clinics. In this regard, technetium generator is redefined.

Technetium generator is; a heavy object, radioactive, delicate, a techno/clinical product, a high-end product.

Technetium generator should be; assembled fast and faultlessly, transported with trust, handled easily, used smoothly.

Technetium generator should feel; safe, reliable, robust, intuitive, simple.

Generator

We explored multiple design iterations, refining forms to accommodate different mechanisms, opening and locking structures, while studying the product semantics of a heavy, secure object to convey stability and trust.

Distance, duration, and activity

Three main parameters of radiation safety are distance, duration, and radiation activity. The first two became our main considerations in improving radiation safety. Through advanced ergonomics of production and use, the new generator has significantly improved safety and health measures.

Handling 14 kilograms

Handle part is envisioned like a steering wheel taking into account various modes of interaction, hand types and sizes, palm feel, and intuitive use. Base part's design includes a radial cavity at the bottom, providing a secure grip for handling the generator. This design evenly distributes generator's approx. 14 kg weight across both hands and positions the center of mass between them, giving operator greater control and preventing erratic swinging. Moreover, it presents a distinct graphic effect that may become a key element of Monrol's future design language.

Massive lead shield vs. fragile needles

One of the primary challenges was designing the generator's structure to ensure optimal stability and support for the lead shield. The design needed to prevent damage to the plastic shell while allowing minor movements to maintain needle safety. Sub-assembly groups were designed as independent units, enabling seamless movement without causing unwanted friction, excessive force, or stress.

Lock mechanisms and verification

The lock mechanisms were developed with two distinct authorization levels. The top lid was designed for clinic operators, emphasizing reliability and quick access. In contrast, the bottom section was exclusively accessible to production workers. High-precision prototyping played a key role in testing and verifying these designs.

Streamlining disassembly operation

A special ring shaped key allows exclusive yet practical access at the bottom of the generator, using generator’s own weight as unlocking agent.
