US-based Precision X-Ray and Gilardoni, an X-ray and ultrasonic unit developer, have partnered to distribute an X-Ray blood irradiation device.
Under the deal, Precision X-Ray has been granted an exclusive distribution right for X-Ray blood irradiator RADGIL 2 in the US.
RADGIL2 is designed for safe X-ray irradiation of blood and blood components. It is designed to help prevent transfusion-related diseases, including Transfusion-associated Graft versus Host Disease (TA-GvHD).
According to Precision X-Ray, RADGIL2 provides a safer and more efficient alternative to traditional Cesium-137 irradiators.
The user-friendly device requires no specialised training or radioprotection measures.
Its parameters can be adjusted as per the needs of various research applications. This includes stem cell and tissue irradiations, vaccine irradiations, and bone marrow ablation on lab animals.
Precision X-Ray CEO Viktoriya Baytser said: “We, at Precision, are proud and thrilled to partner with Gilardoni to deliver the RADGIL2 blood irradiator in the US.
“This strategic collaboration will immediately expand our presence in the medical field, while underscoring our long-term dedication to advancing state of the art X-ray irradiators and delivering safer, more reliable and more effective solutions for critical applications including blood irradiation.”
The RADGIL2 blood irradiator uses a high dose rate for fast and efficient irradiation, significantly cutting processing time.
Its rotating canister technology ensures precise and uniform dose distribution, enhancing both safety and efficacy in blood irradiation procedures.
The device is also US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-cleared for use in blood irradiation.
Other key features include dose calibration & an integrated data management system and high throughput capability.
Gilardoni CEO Marco Gilardoni said: “We are delighted to be partnering with a company that is highly valued and a trusted brand in the X-ray irradiation market.
“Precision shares our commitment to improving the standard of care for blood irradiation.
“The Gilardoni team is excited to work together with Precision to establish the RADGIL2 as the new standard for blood irradiation in the US.”
In May last year, Precision X-Ray launched its next-generation benchtop irradiator, CellRadHD. The device comes with an integrated dosimetry and dose control system.
