FDA Clears Software Co-Developed by TomoTherapy, RaySearch

January 28, 2009 - TomoTherapy Inc. and RaySearch Laboratories AB have received 510(k) clearance for SharePlan, a new software solution that they are collaborating on.

SharePlan is an advanced treatment planning solution that enables transfer of treatment plans between TomoTherapy Hi•Art systems and conventional linear accelerators. The product uses reportedly highly sophisticated algorithms to automatically generate a selection of deliverable high-quality IMRT plans based on an existing Hi•Art plan. This time-saving concept is reportedly an important tool for optimizing patient benefit and throughput at clinics that are introducing a Hi-Art system into an environment with existing conventional linear accelerators.
