The BSD-2000 system is a prescription device that is intended to deliver hyperthermia, which has been shown to increase the sensitivity of tumor cells to radiation or chemotherapy by the external application of electromagnetic energy. The system provides hyperthermia to solid tumors by generating and applying radio frequency (RF) energy.
A mains electricity (AC-powered) device assembly designed for controlled heating (i.e., temperatures above 43° Celsius) of the body using microwaves, for the treatment of malignant or benign tumours or other disease conditions [e.g., benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), prostatitis]. It includes a microwave generator, controls, software (e.g., treatment planning software) and a microwave applicator. It is intended for both whole-body and localized heating of tissues/organs through either externally-mounted components or from catheter- or probe-type applicators inserted topically, endoscopically, or surgically.
