Brand: Ashland | Category: Medical Equipment
Ashland describes custom cuts as a service: any Gafchromic film can be cut to the size, shape and specification a department needs, arriving ready for use straight out of the box. Six cuts are currently published with their own product codes, spanning EBT3, MD-V3 and LD-V1 grades in both imperial and metric sizes. Sizes outside the published list are cut to order on request.

Transfusion-associated graft-versus-host disease (TA-GvHD) is a rare but usually fatal complication of blood transfusion, and irradiating blood products before transfusion prevents it. Rad-sure indicators are an FDA 510(k) cleared medical device giving positive visual verification that irradiation reached the minimum specified dose: before irradiation the word NOT is visible and the indicator reads NOT Irradiated, and afterwards the word NOT is obscured so the indicator reads IRRADIATED. They are made from gafchromic film, which Ashland calls the world's highest resolution dosimeter, and work with both gamma and x-ray sources. Ashland describes them as the standard for blood irradiation indicators for 25+ years.
Version 8 of filmQA pro adds a Point dosimetry module that works with the gafchromic pnt-dos device to give medical radiation professionals accurate point dosimetry across radiotherapy and diagnostic radiology, verifying the radiation as a secondary check on the primary dose calculation for quality control. Each pnt-dos device arrives individually packaged in a UVC-protected bag so environmental conditions do not affect it before or after irradiation, and its 2-D barcode is read automatically so device details drop into the analysis report without typing. A custom jig holder on the supplied flatbed scanner positions devices correctly, minimising artefacts and inconsistency, and a new auto-calibration feature allows the treatment plan film to be measured in as early as 15 minutes. The films are passive, needing no external power or cables, which keeps electronic interference out of sensitive treatment environments.
Waiting for scheduled maintenance to reveal a failing blood irradiator can be too late, so Ashland offers dose-Map as a routine three step check that anyone able to operate a blood irradiator can carry out. The cassette arrives from Ashland, goes into the canister for a normal cycle, and is posted back for analysis. Ashland then reads the film inside and issues a report carrying a dose distribution chart and a colour-coded dose contour plot showing how absorbed dose is distributed through the canister.
