C-RAD AB: Two new orders to the Chinese market

Two new orders of the C-RAD Sentinel system to the Chinese market.

C-RAD AB with its three fully owned subsidiaries in Sweden and three international sales companies are all active in the field of radiation therapy.  Two additional Sentinel systems have been ordered by Elekta in China. China is the fastest growing market in radiation therapy.

The C-RAD Sentinel system is an advanced easy- to- use laser scanner system that monitors the motions of the patient during the treatment. The Sentinel system delivered to Axesse users will also include functionality for patient positioning and interfaces for import and synchronization of patient data. Correction data in six degrees of freedom will be transferred to the Elekta couch called Hexapod evo.

The Sentinel systems will be delivered to Elekta in China to be integrated in its Axesse systems. Axesse is a dedicated system for so called stereotactic treatments. After approval of the system in China, Elekta in China will include Sentinel as a standard product.

Erik Hedlund, CEO, C-RAD AB:

"We are happy to receive two new orders of the C-RAD Sentinel system. Since the cooperation end of last year started Elekta China has placed orders of totally four systems. After SFDA approval of the Sentinel system mid 2013 Sentinel will on regular basis be offered together with Elekta Axesse system for advanced stereo tactic treatments.

C-RAD was already in 2009 selected as prefered supplier to Elekta of optical surface scanning systems.”
