Accuray Incorporated, a radiation oncology company, announced the submission of its 510(k) premarket notification with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the company’s Radixact Treatment Delivery System. Accuray also submitted 510(k) premarket notification for its treatment planning and data management systems, Precision Treatment Planning System and iDMS Data Management System.
The treatment delivery system, Precision Treatment Planning System, and iDMS Data Management System have been designed to seamlessly work together and improve treatment workflow processes. Multiple Radixact Systems may use a single, centralized database for treatment planning and patient data management.
The next generation platform is designed for increased throughput, higher reliability and ease of serviceability. The ring gantry-based delivery system will offer the same proven gold-standard delivery capabilities as today’s devices: TomoHelical and TomoDirect treatment modes. The high output, compact linear accelerator will be capable of producing a dose rate of 1,000 MU per minute, and imaging speed will increase. The integrated treatment planning system is intended to reduce workflow complexities and save time in the treatment planning process.
Clinicians at the University of Wisconsin-Madison played an important role in developing this newest radiation therapy system, collaborating with Accuray to ensure the Radixact System design objectives were met.
