BSD Medical has initiated using its BSD-500 Hyperthermia System for hyperthermia treatments.
The BSD-500 Hyperthermia System delivers therapeutic heating (hyperthermia) using either non-invasive (external) hyperthermia, which is delivered using antennas placed over the tumor, or interstitial hyperthermia, which is delivered using antennas that are inserted into the tumor, or a combination of both.
The BSD-500 has received the US Food and Drug Administration pre-market approval (PMA) for the use of hyperthermia alone or in conjunction with radiation therapy for the treatment of certain tumors.
