RaySearch has received a new regulatory clearance from the Chinese authorities NMPA (previously CFDA) for the treatment planning system RayStation®. With this clearance RaySearch can continue to supply the innovative and machine agnostic RayStation to customers in China.
RayStation is designed for multi-modality support of many different treatment delivery machines and is therefore well suited for the large and varied market in China, with many different types of treatment machines installed.

RayStation, with its leading position in efficiency and performance, fits the rapidly growing demands from customers in China very well”.
