Positron has installed its PosiRx Beta system at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, and the system completed testing of key criteria required for validation.

Procedures of the PosiRx system were performed with sestamibi drawn from Covidien Ultra-TechneKow dry-top eluting generators at the university’s facilities, said the company. The PosiRx system is an automated radiopharmaceutical system that performs the series of steps involved in the preparation and manufacturing of unit dose SPECT pharmaceuticals, such as technetium 99/sestamibi, according to the Indianapolis-based company.
