Designed for Unit-Dose Radiopharmaceutical Transport

The RSS Standard UDS is optimized for facilities shipping unit‑dose syringes where reliability, repeatability, and regulatory compliance are critical. Its compact footprint and robust construction make it well‑suited for both local and long‑distance transport of PET and nuclear medicine isotopes.

Ergonomic & Efficient Design

The RSS Standard UDS is engineered to streamline handling and reduce exposure time during routine shipping operations. ¼‑turn stainless steel Unit Dose Shield (UDS) operation allows fast, controlled access while minimizing handling time and radiation exposure. An integrated shipping label frame provides a secure, durable solution for transport documentation, eliminating disposable label sleeves and improving label retention during shipment. The reduced case size minimizes storage and vehicle space requirements while maintaining effective shielding performance.

Durable Construction & Reusable Design

Each RSS Standard UDS case is constructed from a robust polyethylene outer shell combined with polished stainless steel components for long‑term durability. Ultra‑strong hardware and reinforced design elements support repeated use in demanding transport environments, extending service life and reducing replacement costs.

Secure, Hygienic Interior Protection

Inside the container, stainless steel unit dose shields provide reliable containment for syringes while offering hygienic, easy‑to‑clean surfaces. Waterproof seals and protective foam cushioning help ensure secure transport and contamination control throughout the shipping process.
