Features
Performing Thyroid Uptake measurements has never been easier. The Captus 3000 combines a totally new software program with the latest PC technology to create a Thyroid Uptake system that is fast, reliable, and extremely easy to use.
The Captus software has been designed to get you up and running in virtually no time at all. The program contains a "Quick-Start" feature that walks the user through all of the initial setup functions. The "Quick-Start" feature also serves as an excellent teaching tool. The Captus 3000 software is a full service program with Thyroid Uptake, Wipe Testing, Bioassay, Schillings, Dicopac®, Blood Volume and RBC Survival functionality built in. The Wipe Test module has been a "New" feature that allows the flexibility of predefined or user defined groupings. The entire program has "Fly Over" control bars to allow quick access to whatever function is necessary.
QA is of course completely automated and now includes a "New" feature for measuring Minimum Detectable Activity. With the use of the two included reference standards (Cs-137 and Eu-152) the system will move from Calibration to Constancy to Chi-square with limited time and effort.
There is a new and versatile 1024 Multichannel Analyzer (MCA) module that allows measurements of energies up to 2 MeV. The MCA module also has an isotope selection library with over 90 preloaded isotopes and adjustable ROI's for easily reproducible counting parameters.
As always, the entire system comes with Capintec's unsurpassed Quality Construction and Customer Service. From Installation and Training to Applications Support just call 800-631-3826 to speak to a Technical Support Specialist.

Captus 3000 Reports
Auto Calibration For Well
The Autocalibrate module provides high voltage, zero offset and automatic gain adjustment; as well as a linearity correction and constancy test. Also included in QA are automatic chi-square and MDA calculation selections. Finally, the program has the ability to automatically perform efficiency calculation and storage for various isotopes.
Thyroid Uptake Report
In this module multiple TU protocols can be established utilizing I-123, I-131 or Tc-99m. The protocols can use a standard capsule method or allow the system to perform an automatic decay correction to the administered dose. The system will store detailed patient demographics, physician data and administered dose data. There is no limit to the number of uptakes that can be performed and the results will be reported with detailed count information and automatic percentage uptake calculations. Also, there are user defined normal values that will be compared to the uptake results and "flagged" when the results are out of range.
Wipe History
The highly versatile wipe test module will allow users to establish as many locations as needed and to arrange the locations into either pre-defined or user-defined groupings. The program will perform an automatic peak and isotope identification of wipe results in order to advise the user of the type contamination encountered. There are pre-set trigger levels loaded or the user can define their own trigger levels, either way the results will flag any wipe that exceeds a trigger. Finally, the system will maintain a history of wipe results that can be printed as a whole or in part.
MCA Spectrum Report
The Multi-Channel Analyzer is very user friendly, ROI's can be selected from a convenient menu of isotopes with predefined regions or the user can define them. Protocols can be defined for real time, live time or acquired counts. Results are reported with full spectrum counts and counts by region of interest. All results can be saved in the database or exported to a spreadsheet.
Schilling Test Report
In vitro lab test protocols are incorporated into the software; the user has access to Schilling, RBC Survival and both Cr51 and I125 blood volume studies. The program will integrate all patient demographic, physician and dose data and will perform automatic result calculations. By utilizing the report functionality all of the test data can be documented in a hardcopy format (Schilling is displayed) for physician review or for documentation in the patients file.
Staff Bioassay Report
The bioassay allows for the quick and efficient measurement of the staff thyroid burden for I-123, I-125 or I-131. Measurement results can be reported in CPM's or uCi's. In order to meet regulatory requirements a cumulative history can be maintained on the computer and/or printed out for a hardcopy record.
