Radiation oncology firm Varian Medical Systems of Palo Alto, CA, has received 510(k) marketing clearance from the Food and Drug Administration for a new single-channel device for delivering high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy.
The MammoSource afterloader is a computer-controlled device that delivers a high-energy radioactive source through a single catheter into the cavity left when a tumor has been surgically removed. The product works with the firm's BrachyVision software, an image-guided HDR brachytherapy treatment-planning system, Varian said.
