UNSPSC 42204101 Medical radiological syringe or vial shield or holders or carriers is a Commodity code covering protective containment and handling equipment for radioactive pharmaceuticals used in diagnostic and therapeutic nuclear medicine procedures. State and local health systems, hospital networks, and public health departments purchase radiation-shielded syringes, vials, and carriers to comply with occupational safety regulations, reduce radiation exposure to clinical and pharmacy staff, and safely transport radiopharmaceuticals within facilities and between departments. The equipment includes lead-lined or tungsten syringe shields, vial containers with integral shielding, and transport carriers designed to attenuate gamma and beta radiation during handling and temporary storage.

The code attracts solicitation from public hospital systems, county health departments, university medical centers, and state health agencies operating nuclear medicine services. No recent opportunities in the source database meet this code assignment, indicating either minimal activity under this specific Commodity designation, procurement conducted through standing cooperative purchasing agreements, or tagging misalignment between the work performed and the UNSPSC classification applied.
