What are you doing for your recurrent cancer patients? BSD-500 • • • • No shielding room needed Portable FDA Approved for palliative treatment of certain tumors Delivers both superficial and interstitial hyperthermia BSD-500 used in Clinical Studies on recurrent and progressive: • • • • Hyperthermia is a therapy used to heat tumors. Research has shown that heat can damage cancer cells while also increasing the effect of radiation therapy in treating some tumors that are recurrent or progressive despite conventional therapy. While it has been known for hundreds of years that fevers can kill...

Interstitial Hyperthermia Interstitial hyperthermia delivers the heat directly to the site of the tumor. Interstitial hyperthermia uses up to 24 small microwave antennas (1.2 mm in diameter) placed in the tumor. Temperature sensors (1.1 mm in diameter) measure the temperatures for treatment control. The microwave power delivered to the antennas can be adjusted in amplitude and phase to conform the heating pattern to the tumor. Interstitial Applicators The semi-rigid MA-251 microwave interstitial applicators can be inserted into 15.5 gauge (5 French) radiation implant catheters. The heating...

Treatment Planning Software Performing interstitial hyperthermia requires the use of 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 computer screen. Treatment plans can then 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. Trace tumor and position Calculate energy distribution Adjust phase and power to achieve desired...

Indications and Use of the BSD-500 Hyperthermia System DEVICE DESCRIPTION The BSD-500 Hyperthermia System delivers therapeutic heat (hyperthermia) to certain surface or subsurface malignant tumors (i.e., melanoma, squamous- or basal-cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, or sarcoma) by the external or interstitial application of electro-magnetic energy, and monitors the temperature of target and surrounding tissues by means of invasive temperature probes. In response to an operator-designated control probe, the BSD-500 Hyperthermia System automatically adjusts power to maintain the operator-set...
