First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An administration device comprising
a hermetic container closed by a cap, containing a radiopharmaceutical medicament, and provided with a protective shield made of a radiopaque material, and
a support provided with attachment means, the container being removably attached to the support in a position allowing access to said cap,
wherein the support comprises a baseplate provided with an opening allowing access to said cap, a cover and rods connecting the baseplate and the cover, the container extending between the cover and the baseplate.

2. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the protective shield comprises lead and/or tungsten.

3. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the attachment means comprise a ring.

4. The device as claimed in 1 , wherein the cover is provided with holes through which the rods pass, the rods being attached on the baseplate.

5. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the rods comprise stops which the cover bears by gravity.

6. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least one, rod of the rods has a free end and has, at said free end, a threaded portion which protrudes above the cover and onto which a nut is screwed so as to bear against the cover.

7. The device as claimed in claim 1 , comprising a cylinder resting on the support and in which the container is housed.

8. The device as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the container has a bottom, and the height of the cylinder is determined such that the bottom of the container bears against the cover.

9. The device as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the cylinder is transparent, so that the container can be seen.

10. A perfusion apparatus comprising a perfusion stand and an administration device as claimed in claim 1 , suspended from said stand.

11. An assembly comprising
an administration device as claimed in claim 1 , and
several cylinders having different heights and/or different inside diameters and which are adapted to be able to be sandwiched between the baseplate and the cover of the support.
