FDA has cleared a Varian Medical Systems 510(k) for its Halcyon system for cancer treatment. The company says the device is designed to simplify and enhance most aspects of image-guided volumetric intensity modulated radiotherapy. “With its streamlined workflow, the system only requires nine steps from the start to the end of treatment compared to up to more than 30 steps with older technologies,” it adds. Halcyon also features large touchscreens on both sides of the machine to assist in each patient set-up.
