The BSD-500 Hyperthermia System is used to deliver 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 U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) pre-market approval (PMA), which is the standard FDA approval required to market Class III medical devices in the United States, for the use of hyperthermia alone or in conjunction with radiation therapy for the treatment of certain tumors.
