Proton Technology
System Layout
Varian proton therapy systems are generally installed in specially constructed facilities and customized according to the needs of the clinic.
Multiple configurations and floor plans are available, depending on the number and type of treatment rooms required.
A system consists of:
- A Superconducting Cyclotron and Energy Selection System
- A Beam Transport System
- Rotational Gantry and Horizontal Fixed Beam Treatment Rooms
Since Varian provides a truly integrated, end-to-end proton therapy solution, we play an active role throughout the entire project installation timeline.
Disclaimer
The proton therapy device technology described here has not been cleared by the US Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") for clinical use and is in development. The FDA has a unique set of standards for proton therapy devices because the entire proton therapy facility must be built for the specific device. For these types of devices, the FDA allows proton therapy sponsors to discuss projects with potential customers and to engage in contracts/orders to build proton therapy facilities and /or to purchase proton therapy equipment. However, contracts or other engagements specific to clinical practice are strictly prohibited; that is, no engagements or agreements for patient scheduling or physician group practice to use proton therapy equipment are permitted in advance of FDA clearance.
