Akesis Galaxy RTi Radiosurgery Device Cleared

FDA has cleared an Akesis 510(k) for the Akesis Galaxy RTi, an advanced gamma stereotactic radiosurgery system (SRS) with continuous 360-degree rotational technology and real-time, in-line imaging. The company says the imaging system is on a rigid ring-gantry at the treatment plane, eliminating the need to move the patient or interrupt treatment to process an image. It also supports automated intrafractional skull tracking and corrections. This is the third system within the Akesis Galaxy SRS platform, with the Akesis Galaxy RTx and Akesis Galaxy receiving previous 510(k) clearances.

“The dynamic, rotational delivery of the Akesis Galaxy RTi provides more flexibility in shaping the dose distribution as opposed to traditional, fixed sector-based delivery,” the company says. Its compact source drawer contains 30 gamma sources, combined with four sizes of collimators and one blocking position that offers numerous options to shape dose distribution.
