New  System Navigator GPS

 

Accepts wired  Probes

 

 

The Navigatorâ„¢ GPS system is used in a sentinel node mapping procedure.

The system is designed and manufactured by RMD Instruments Corp and Dynasil Product of Watertown, MA. 
The Navigator system is RMD's most popular system.

INSTANT ON - TURN POWER ON

1. DISPLAY shows the event rate in counts per second.
2. Audible signal starts in most sensitive range - X1 - to indicate changes in low event rates.
3. The RMD probes (see opposite page) have a stable and common gain across all probe models:
4. No calibration of probe to control unit is required before use.
5. Control Unit circuitry powers up immediately. No delay by a computer boot sequence.
6. NEW!· Isotope Indicator. Four are located inside display window. One illuminates.
   Provides visual confirmation of user-selected position of rear-panel ISOTOPE Control. Set-up is easier.
   Isotope Indicator helps ensure that system is configured properly for a procedure.

 

 

 

 

 

ENERGY SELECTION - AUTOMATIC

· THRESHOLD Control is already ON. This position reduces energy-scattered events
in signal.
· Press THRESHOLD Control OFF to increase sensitivity to isolated sites.
· ISOTOPE Control on rear-panel includes Tc-99m position, In-111, I-131, and I-125.
NEW! · 511 keV ready. When 511 keV position of ISOTOPE INDICATOR is illuminated, control
unit accommodates a Navigatorâ„¢ Gamma-PET probe for radiopharmaceuticals such as
FDG (fluorodeoxyglucose) and the detection of 511 keV photons.



AUDIBLE SIGNAL - INSTANTANEOUS
· Each new detected event is instantaneously represented in the audible signal. No delay.

DISPLAY - SIMPLE
· Bright Green Vacuum Fluorescent Display is easily viewable at a distance.
· Counts per second. Press the COUNT Button, 10 second timed count.
NEW! · Improved Display of Ten Second Count. 10 second timed count total is shown for a longer
period of time to allow a user to observe and record the total count.


SUPPORTS ADDITIONAL PROBES FROM RMD
· Standard Lymphatic Mapping Probe shown above.
· Numerous probe models are available from RMD.
· Control Unit is designed, manufactured, sold, and serviced by RMD Instruments Corp.
