Support for cancer treatment technology

The Measurement for Recovery Programme supports Xstrahl and their advanced radiation oncology treatment

Project Summary

Xstrahl, an organisation which designs and delivers effective clinical and research solutions to advance radiation oncology, asked NPL to advise on the interpretation of the standard protocols and on metrological issues, prior to third party testing of the technology. Xstrahl’s devices are unique in nature, used for cancer patient treatment regimes.

The provision of advanced radiation oncology treatments are an important element of cancer treatment regimes and working with NPL through the M4R programme, not only helped Xstrahl generate the product data they needed in a timely way but enabled independent assessment of the technology to validate against performance requirements.

  

Customer Feedback

The ability to engage with NPL to help support our EN60601-2-8 testing has been priceless. The Measurement for Recovery programme has helped us to meet the requirements for independent testing and assessment. For a UK medical device manufacturer dealing with the challenges of the current business environment, the support provided in terms of expertise, access to knowledge and the financial support have combined to bring significant benefit to our company
