JHS will manufacture Cardiolite (Kit for the Preparation of Technetium Tc99m Sestamibi for Injection) products and Neurolite (Kit for the Preparation of Technetium Tc99m Bicisate for Injection) under separate agreements.
Each five year agreement has an option to renew for an additional five years thereafter.
Lantheus Medical Imaging manufacturing and supply chain vice president Bill Dawes said, "We are in the final stages of completing technology transfer for DEFINITY® and will be working closely with the company to expedite similar processes for the manufacture of Cardiolite® and Neurolite®."
Cardiolite and Neurolite are technetium-based radiopharmaceutical imaging agents used in single-photon emission computed tomography, or SPECT.
