-
24” Medical Grade Touch Screen Monitor
High resolution monitor providing easy access to user control systems for improved patient monitoring and system control.Ease of Operation -
8-port Temperature Monitoring
Track up to 8 independent temperature probes for accurate thermal dosing. An integrated temperature well ensures easy and accurate temperature calibration.Thermal Monitoring -
5-Point Pneumatic Applicator Arm
Provides rock-steady placement of Hyper- thermia applicators at any angle with a total reach of 41”.Solid Performance -
MA-151 Wave Guide Applicator
MA-151: mini-dual ridge wave guide applicators have an aperture of 4 x 5 cm and individual heating patterns approximately 2.5 x 2.5 cm by 2 cm deep. Advanced annular phased array principles create a central focusing of energy, which significantly overcomes the penetration losses of the energy radiated into the body. -
MA-100 Wave Guide Applicator
MA-100: side loaded wave guide applicators have a 10 x 13 cm aperture and a heating pattern approximately 8 x 10 cm by 2.5 cm deep. -
Wave Guide Applicator
MA-120: side-loaded wave guide applicator has an 18 x 24 cm aperture and a heating pattern of approxi- mately 12.5 x 19.5 cm by 2.5 cm deep. -
Probe Calibration
The Thermal Calibration Well can be used to quickly verify probe accuracy prior to treatmentEase of Use -
Brachytherapy Treatment Support
Interstitial hyperthermia delivers heat directly to the site of the tumor via brachytherapy catheter. The microwave power delivered to the antennas (available as an optional kit) can be adjusted in amplitude and phase to conform the heating pattern to the tumor.Versatility -
The BSD-500 offers two USB ports for the offloading of patient records and keyboard/mouse. The system includes a wireless color printer. (model subject to change) -
Water Circulation System
Provides constant volume water supply to the Applicator Bolus with temperature range of 5 ̊C to 45 ̊C.RF Depth Control -
915 MHz Eight-Channel Power Amplifier
915 MHz Eight-Channel Power Amplifier Multi-channel solid state amplifier producing an available 480 Watts of RF power, (60 watts per channel) independently adjustable phase and amplitude.Focused Power -
Interchangeable Superficial Applicators
Applicators available in multiple configurations to treat a range of tumor sizes and locations. Base model includes the MA-100 wave guide as shown.Focused Treatment Area -
MA-251 Microwave Interstitial Antenna
The semi-rigid MA-251 microwave interstitial applicators can be inserted into 15.5 gauge (5 French) radiation implant catheters. The heat- ing pattern is ellipsoidal and approximately 4.5 cm in length along the applicator shaft with heating to the applicator tip.Brachytherapy -
BSD-500 Features
- Portable
- No shielding room needed
- FDA Approved for palliative
treatment of certain tumors - Delivers both superficial and
interstitial hyperthermia
Treatment Planning Software
Performing interstitial hyperthermia requires the use for the BSD-500 built-in treatment planning program. Using this software, the size and shape of the tumor can be traced on a grid on the computers screen. Treatment plans can ten be made by simulating the placement of antennae in and around the tumor. The power and phase of each channel can be set and adjusted on the screen. Each change in placement, power or phase will display the new simulated heating pattern. Watch Demo
