UNSPSC 42204011: Medical radiological dose calibrator shields

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as shield or container dose calibrator for radioisotopes used during medical radiological procedures in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901819.

UNSPSC 42204011 Medical radiological dose calibrator shields, a Commodity code, covers specialized shielding equipment used in nuclear medicine departments and radiopharmaceutical preparation facilities to protect personnel from radiation exposure during dose calibration and measurement procedures. State and local governments procure these shields primarily through hospital systems, university medical centers, and county or municipal health departments operating nuclear medicine services. The shields themselves are engineered radiation-containment products — typically lead-lined or tungsten-composite enclosures designed to attenuate gamma radiation from radiopharmaceutical sources during calibration workflows — and fall within the broader medical device and laboratory equipment supply chain that state entities, healthcare delivery systems, and specialized procurement offices manage under radiological safety compliance requirements.
