The primary intended use of the device is to make Thyroid Uptake measurements by
measuring in vivo the activity level given off by a radiopharmaceutical through the interaction
of the emitted atomic particles of the radiopharmaceutical with the Sodium-Iodide (NaI)
detector.
The device can also preform Thyroid Bioassay using the same measurement process as the
Thyroid Uptake.
An optional secondary intended use of the device is to perform the following Lab tests:
• Schillings Test,
• Plasma Volume Test with I125,
• RBC Volume Test with Cr51 and
• RBC Survival Test with Cr51.
This is done by measuring the activity level given off by a radiopharmaceutical in the sample,
through the interaction with the Sodium-Iodide (NaI) detector.

OPERATOR TRAINING
This Owner’s Manual contains all of the information required to operate the CAPTUS® 700t.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The activity of the sample will be displayed with a proper unit when a sample of unknown
strength (activity) of a known radioisotope is placed in the Well Counter or Probe and the
correct efficiency is input or measured.
With its NaI drilled-well crystal detector, the Well Counter offers greater sensitivity and faster
results than other wipe test monitors that use Geiger-Mueller (GM) tubes.
The microprocessor-controlled CAPTUS® 700t has an automatic internal energy calibration
feature, which permits self-calibration of the keV per channel ratio.
For isotopes that have a measured efficiency, the CAPTUS® 700t will convert readings in
cpm [counts per minute] to dpm [disintegrations per minute]. Most federal and state
regulations require survey monitoring results in dpm.
Note: The CAPTUS® 700t Well Counter is not designed to provide conclusive identification
of radionuclides in samples. The CAPTUS® 700t Well Counter is designed to provide
the first step for users who need to identify contaminants by narrowing down the
possibilities of which isotopes are contained in wipe test samples.
2-2 FUNCTIONAL & TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION October 15
CAPINTEC, INC. CAPTUS® 700t
The CAPTUS® 700t also provides a “Full Spectrum Efficiency” result for a wipe sample by
grouping all 512 channels together as one open-energy window. This indicates whether a
sample exceeds trigger levels, but does not help identify the contaminant.
Thyroid Uptake
Thyroid Uptake is a measurement of the ratio of the amount of radioactive material
concentrated in the thyroid gland to the amount of radioactive material administered to the
patient. Thyroid Uptake measurements are generally used to determine conditions of
hyperthyroidism. High uptake results are found in Graves disease, toxic nodular goiter, and
stimulator secreting tumors or can be TSH-induced. Low uptake results are found with
thyroid hormone secretion in ectopic tumors, hormonal release in thyroid injury, after intake
of thyroid hormone, or in Jod-Basedow disease. During the treatment of thyroid cancer by I-
131 ablation, uptake measurements are used to monitor thyroid activity.
The CAPTUS® 700t system will store patient demographic and dosage information, count
data for both the administered dosage and the patient, decay correct all count data, calculate
Thyroid Uptake results, and store all of this information in the Thyroid Uptake database.
Regions of Interest have been defined for three isotopes: I-131, I-123, and Tc-99m. If normal
values have been entered, results exceeding these values will be flagged. All of the patient
information may be printed. The Thyroid Uptake software has been designed to
accommodate a variety of different counting protocols, using either capsules or liquid
dosages.
Wipe Test
The Wipe Test measures radioactive contamination for nuclear medicine departments and
laboratories, as mandated by state and federal radiation safety requirements.
Lab Tests
Urine Test
Schilling Test
The Schilling Test utilizes Cobalt 57 labeled Vitamin B-12 and is used to determine B-
12 deficiencies from either malabsorption, lack of intrinsic factor (pernicious anemia),
or intraintestinal destruction. The test entails collection of urine for 24 or 48 hours
after the oral administration of radioactive labeled vitamin B-12. The ratio of excreted
to administered Co57 is calculated. If the initial results indicate a reduced amount of
excreted vitamin, the test is repeated with a second sample of labeled B-12 and
intrinsic factor. For Schilling Test I, abnormal results are generally less than 8%-10%.
Normal range is generally 11% to 26%. For Schilling Test II, no change indicates
malabsorption, while an improved percentage indicates pernicious anemia.

CAPINTEC, INC. CAPTUS® 700t
Blood Tests
Plasma Volume Test
Blood Volume determinations involving radioactive tagging are most frequently used
in specific disease conditions when the hematocrit may not accurately estimate true
blood volume. Such conditions include extensive trauma or burn patients, certain
types of anemia, and polycythemia. Most frequently used radioactive tracers are
protein labeled I-125 for plasma measurements and Cr51 tagged RBCs for red cell
mass determinations.
RBC Volume Test
This test is used to determine red blood cell volume or mass and is most frequently
used in specific disease conditions when the hematocrit may not accurately estimate
true blood volume. In this test, Cr51 tagged RBCs are used as radioactive tracers for
red cell mass determination.
RBC Survival Test
RBC survival determination involving radioactive tagging is most frequently used in
diagnosis of hemolytic anemia. The CAPTUS® 700t software and default counting
parameters follow the testing protocol outlined in the Mallinckrodt RBC Survival Kit
that utilizes Sodium Chromate Cr51 injections. The software standardizes the 24-hour
sample to 100% survival, and automatically decay corrects each subsequent sample.
This permits the user to measure each sample as soon as it is collected. For this
reason, all sample volumes must be the same. Each sample must also have a
hematocrit (HCT) entered. The subsequent samples are corrected for any differences
in hematocrit.
Bioassay
All staff members who work with Iodine-131, Iodine-125, or Iodine-123 need to have regular
Bioassay measurements taken to monitor exposure levels. Most state and federal radiation
safety regulations mandate that these thyroid measurements be taken periodically.
The CAPTUS® 700t uses one bioassay protocol, which is user-defined. Before performing
bioassay measurements on the staff, the staff member names and ID numbers should be
added to the database and parameters for the bioassay protocol should be set up.

CAPINTEC, INC. CAPTUS® 700t
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
Detector
The CAPTUS® 700t system is equipped with one or two NaI (Tl) (Thallium-activated Sodium
Iodide) crystal and photomultiplier tube detector assemblies, a 512 channel MCA
(Multichannel Analyzer), along with associated electronics and electronic controls which
provide power and amplification of the pulses generated by the detectors, as well as software
modules which record, analyze, manipulate, and store the measured data.
Since NaI crystals are hygroscopic, the detector assemblies are hermetically sealed with an
aluminum coating. If the seal is broken, then water will be absorbed by the crystal, causing
deterioration of its measurement capabilities, and eventually it will require replacement. For
this reason, always handle the detector with care. Avoid scratching the surface with metal
objects such as pens.
When a gamma or x-ray from a radioactive source reaches the NaI crystal, it collides with the
electrons in the crystal matrix and transfers energy, primarily through Compton interaction.
The excited electron releases this energy as visible light in direct proportion to its absorbed
energy. For this reason, NaI detectors are classified as scintillation detectors. The higher the
energy of the incident ray, the more Compton collisions and consequently the more visible
light emissions will be measured before all of the energy is absorbed. These sequential
emissions of light for each incident ray generated from the sequential Compton collisions
appear to the measuring system as a single light pulse. The intensity of the pulse is directly
proportional to the energy of the incident gamma or x-ray. The light is eventually directed
toward the photomultiplier tube, either by the direction in which it was emitted or by reflection
from the interior of the aluminum housing. The photomultiplier tube, which is optically
connected to the sodium iodide crystal, converts the visible light pulses into electrical energy
and amplifies the signal through a series of dynodes. The resultant electrical signal is directly
proportional to the intensity of the incident light pulse. Therefore, the pulse height generated
by the system is directly proportional to the energy of the incident gamma or x-ray detected
by the system.
Multichannel Analyzer
A multichannel analyzer records the number and height of the electrical pulses generated by
the system, divides the pulses into groups based upon pulse height, and provides a visible
picture or spectrum of the pulses as well as count information. The CAPTUS® 700t divides
the pulses into 512 groups or channels. Since pulse height is directly related to the energy of
the incident photon, the spectrum displays the pulse heights as a graph of pulses or counts
on the vertical scale and energy on the horizontal scale. By matching the displayed spectrum
to the decay scheme of an isotope, positive identification of the radioactive source can be
achieved.
Electronics associated with the process include the high voltage power supply, amplifiers,
and gain adjustments. The high voltage power supply provides voltage to the photomultiplier
tube for the light to electrical impulse conversion and amplification process. The amplifiers
linearly amplify the electrical signal produced by the photomultiplier tube before the signal is

CAPINTEC, INC. CAPTUS® 700t
passed to the MCA. The pulse height remains proportional to the energy of the incident ray.
The gain controls the amount of amplification that is performed by the card.
The spectral display also has adjustments which control the pulse height that include zero
adjust and lower level discriminators (threshold). The zero adjust controls the channel used
for 0 pulse height or 0 energy. The threshold sets the limit for the lowest pulse height to be
analyzed.
