BEYOND, IBA INTEGRATED SOLUTIONS: TESTIMONIAL OF A MEDICAL DEVICE MANUFACTURER

Internalizing a 1 to 2 MCi equivalent X-ray irradiation facility – A customer journey from product qualification to autonomous operations

ARTHREX
Arnaud Pierard, Product Manager
IBA INDUSTRIAL
More than 50 Rhodotron®-based irradiation systems are operated today all around the world. The deployment of these solutions is accelerating in all fields, with a noteworthy growth and demand for integrated X-Ray solutions.

The Rhodotron® is a high power, high efficiency electron accelerator, well known for its industrial robustness at all beam powers between 20 and 560 kW. However, power and efficiency can be underused if not combined with state-of-the art conveying, automation, dosimetry and process control systems.

In this webinar, we will present BEYOND, the new generation of integrated irradiation solutions which have been optimized to take advantage of the Rhodotron® capabilities.

We will present how IBA accompanies its customers during the journey of designing an optimized irradiation center, illustrating each of the steps by studying a real case: designing a new irradiation facility for Arthrex, with the goal of converting their portfolio of very high value-added products from outsourced Gamma treatment to in-house X-ray and E-beam irradiation.

Tim Thompson from Arthrex will share his experience on how we were able to design together an irradiation solution, from the evaluation of Arthrex’s product portfolio using Monte Carlo simulations and actual dose mappings, to throughput estimates and simulations, to conveyor, accelerator and final building design.
