From the January 2013 issue of HealthCare Business News magazine
The Accu2i pMTA applicator’s handle has undergone an ergonomic redesign, with ridged contact points and a more tactile feel. The optical grade clear applicator casing has been refined to allow the user to see the coolant flowing through the applicator. The coolant spike tubes have also been color-coded to provide a visual aid for ease of manufacture.
The Accu2i pMTA cartridge, which connects the applicator to the Local Control Station (LCS), has also been given an ergonomic makeover. The casing is both more comfortable to handle and robust. Within the cartridge, parts have been revised to further improve the coolant flow through the system and simplify the build.

CyberKnife M6 Series
Accuray announced FDA clearance for the the CyberKnife M6 Series and its new InCise Multileaf Collimator, available on the two higher-end models of the M6 Series.
The device is designed for stereotactic radiosurgery and stereotactic body radiation therapy.
The MLC is used to sculpt the X-ray beam to the size and shape of the tumor. It has a bigger opening than the CyberKnife’s previous collimator and allows, theoretically, faster treatment times for some tumors.
The new CyberKnife models are the FIM and FM, which feature the MLC, and the FI, which doesn’t. The FM and FI are upgradeable.
