Siemens Medical Solutions has received Food and Drug Administration 510(k) clearance for 550 TxT, a radiation therapy treatment table.
The table can support a load capacity of 550 lb, and includes a number of new features such as a choice of different carbon-fiber tabletops, all-motorized movements with ramp-up speed functionality, and ergonomic design features such as tactile-feedback buttons on the table's side panels, according to the vendor's Concord, CA-based Oncology Care Systems group.
The table also offers hand controls at the table, with an integrated flashlight to assist with patient positioning, Siemens said. The table was designed and manufactured in conjunction with the components division of Siemens Medical Solutions in Kemnath, Germany.
