Tubing components for a particulate material delivery and methods of forming

A tubing component for a particulate material delivery assembly including a particulate delivery device to deliver a mixed particulate solution to a patient, the tubing component comprising:

• a material including a material density;
• a determined thickness between an interior diameter and an outer diameter such that the outer diameter is at least 8 times great than the interior diameter and sufficient to shield a delivery line connector of the particulate delivery device from at least 90% of a radiation dose, the delivery line connector configured to receive the mixed particulate solution from the particulate delivery device of the particulate material delivery assembly;
• wherein the determined thickness of the tubing component is calculated based on the material density to achieve shielding of the delivery line connector by the material of at least 90% of the radiation dose, wherein the determined thickness of the tubing component is calculated using a calculator tool based on an equation using the material density to achieve shielding of the delivery line connector by the material of at least 90% of the radiation dose, wherein the equation comprises
