The BSD-500 Hyperthermia System delivers therapeutic heat to certain surface or subsurface malignant tumors by the external or interstitial application of electromagnetic energy and monitors the temperature of target and surrounding tissues by means of independent temperature sensors.
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.
