Gilardoni - X-Ray Blood Irradiator

The RADGIL2 is a specialized X-Ray irradiator designed to mitigate Transfusion Associated-Graft versus Host Disease (TA-GvHD), a rare but potentially lethal immune reaction that occurs when donor T-lymphocytes attack tissues in a transfusion recipient. Distinguished from traditional nuclear-sourced irradiators like those using Caesium137, the RADGIL2 offers a contemporary approach emphasizing safety, user-friendliness, and speed. The device's ionizing radiation dose can be precisely calibrated, making it versatile enough for various research applications beyond its primary role in healthcare. Its availability in the USA and Canada reflects a step forward in ensuring patient safety in transfusion medicine, while also serving as a tool for scientific investigations requiring controlled irradiation.
