Sensus Healthcare, Inc. announced that Holy Name Medical Center in Teaneck, New Jersey has acquired a Sensus low-dose radiation therapy system for the treatment of pneumonia in COVID-19 patients. SRT-100 systems utilize Sensus Healthcare’s proprietary low-energy x-ray technology known as superficial radiation therapy (SRT). As a consequence of worldwide attention to low-dose radiation to treat COVID-19 pneumonia, Sensus Healthcare engaged an independent physiology laboratory that has confirmed SRT-100 and SRT-100 Vision systems emit sufficient radiation to penetrate the lungs with acceptable radiation levels in the surrounding organs.
Sensus Healthcare, Inc. is a medical device company. The Company is focused on providing non-invasive treatments for both oncological and non-oncological skin conditions. The Company uses a low-energy X-ray technology known as superficial radiation therapy (SRT). The Company incorporated SRT into its portfolio of treatment devices: the SRT-100, SRT-100+ and SRT-100 Vision. SRT-100, is a photon x-ray low energy superficial radiotherapy system that provides patients an alternative to surgery for treating non-melanoma skin cancers, including basal cell and squamous cell skin cancers and other skin conditions such as keloids. The SRT-100 Vision provides the user with a superficial radiation therapy-tailored treatment planning application that integrates an embedded high frequency ultrasound imaging module, volumetric tumor analysis, beam margins planning, and dosimetry parameters. Its SRT-100+ offer remote diagnostics solutions, including operation tracking.
