Company highlights new SMART solution designed to enhance workflow efficiency, flexibility, safety and security of the Xoft System
Company announces U.S. FDA 510k clearance of new extended-life X-ray source
NASHUA, NH, and WASHINGTON, DC (Booth #2645) March 4, 2016 – iCAD, Inc. (Nasdaq: ICAD), an industry-leading provider of advanced image analysis, workflow solutions and radiation therapy for the early identification and treatment of cancer, is unveiling a new Streamlined Module for Advanced Radiation Therapy (SMART) solution for its Xoft® Axxent® Electronic Brachytherapy (eBx®) System® and Axxent Hub cloud-based oncology collaboration software solution, along with a new extended-life X-ray source, during the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C. from March 4-8, 2016 (Booth #2465).
Comprised of a new Wi-Fi enabled Xoft System and enhanced AxxentHub cloud software, the SMART solution improves workflow efficiency and the flexibility and security of skin eBx treatments while improving clinical collaboration and supervision. The new SMART solution includes increased patient safety checks through added displays to verify and validate treatment plans. By communicating wirelessly with the Axxent Hub, the Wi-Fi enabled Xoft System offers radiation oncologists and physicists the option to remotely monitor, approve and troubleshoot patient treatments while maintaining the quality of patient care. In addition, the Company announced a new FDA 510k cleared proprietary extended-life X-ray source that will lower the cost of delivery and management of the technology.
“The new SMART solution and extended life of our proprietary X-ray source represent iCAD’s continued innovation in providing leading-edge radiation therapy technology focused on improved patient care,” said Ken Ferry, CEO of iCAD. “A growing body of clinical research continues to confirm that skin eBx is an effective treatment option for patients. We are pleased to further our commitment to increasing market access to skin eBx by offering an adaptive care solution that may be easily incorporated into any clinical practice.”
Also during the AAD meeting, Dr. Wm Philip Werschler and Dr. Rakesh Patel will demonstrate the SMART solution in a Lunch and Learn program entitled “SMART Skin eBx in Clinical Practice.” The educational programs will be held in the Xoft booth (#2645) on both Saturday, March 5 and Sunday, March 6 from 12 noon to 1 pm ET.
About Xoft Axxent Electronic Brachytherapy System
The Xoft System is an isotope-free radiation treatment that is FDA cleared, CE marked, and licensed in a growing number of countries for the treatment of cancer anywhere in the body, including treatment of early-stage breast cancer, gynecological cancers and non-melanoma skin cancer. It utilizes a proprietary miniaturized x-ray as the radiation source that delivers precise treatment directly to cancerous areas while sparing healthy tissue and organs. The Xoft System requires only minimal shielding and therefore does not require room redesign or construction investment. Minimal shielding also allows medical personnel to remain in the room with the patient during treatment. The mobility of the Xoft System makes it easy to treat patients at multiple locations and to easily store the system when not in use. The Axxent Hub is a cloud-based oncology collaboration software solution that enables centers to monitor treatment workflow and enhance communication between clinical specialists. Xoft is a wholly owned subsidiary of iCAD, Inc. For more information about Xoft visit www.xoftinc.com, like us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter at @xofticad.
