Mevion Medical Systems, Inc, announced that it has received FDA 510(k) clearance for its Mevion S250 Proton Therapy System. According to Mevion, the new system delivers precise, noninvasive treatment comparable to that available with larger, more complex proton therapy systems but with higher patient throughput, a significantly reduced footprint, improved reliability, and lower implementation and operational costs.
This clearance enables users of the Mevion S250 to immediately treat patients upon completion of their system installation. The first installation of the Mevion S250 will soon be completed at the Kling Center for Proton Therapy at Barnes Jewish Hospital at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. ■
