Accuray Receives FDA 510(k) Clearance For New CyberKnife® M6⿢ Series, Merging Multileaf Collimation With Non-Isocentric Robotic Delivery

"The field of radiation oncology is moving to treating in fewer fractions with higher doses," said Charlie Ma, Ph.D., Vice Chairman, Department of Radiation Oncology, Director, Radiation Physics at the Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia.  "The addition of the MLC, combined with the CyberKnife's ability to deliver treatment from hundreds of angles while tracking and correcting for motion, will give us the flexibility to deliver the most accurate patient-specific and tailored dose distributions and allows a broader range of patients to benefit from highly efficient and effective treatments."

The CyberKnife M6 Series reduces treatment times with fewer Monitor Units (MUs) while delivering unrivaled dose distributions and further improving plan quality. This heightened efficiency allows users to schedule more patients per day, to not only ensure timely care to more cancer patients, but to also improve the return on their investment.

"Accuray developed the CyberKnife M6 Series to provide the radiation oncology community with a personalized, patient-focused treatment that delivers unmatched clinical capabilities and the ability to treat more patients with unprecedented levels of precision and efficiency," said Joshua H. Levine, president and chief executive officer of Accuray. "The development of the CyberKnife M6 Series addresses the needs of both physicians and patients, and reinforces Accuray's position as the leading technical innovator driving new clinical solutions in radiation oncology."
