Accuray Incorporated (Nasdaq: ARAY - News), a global leader in the field of radiosurgery, announced today the launch of the CyberKnife Access((TM)) Remote Service product, a real-time customer service and support offering for the CyberKnife(®) Robotic Radiosurgery System. This and other Accuray technologies will be highlighted during the 51st Annual Meeting of The American Association of Physicists in Medicine, July 26-30, 2009 in Anaheim, Calif.
CyberKnife Access utilizes the Axeda(® )ServiceLink technology to provide a remote service solution for the devices that make up CyberKnife Systems at customer sites. This Remote Service offering enables Accuray's team of highly trained engineers and customer support technicians to diagnose and address service needs from a remote location using a secure internet connection. The result is real-time support, allowing for a quick customer response without a site visit, thereby enhancing operational efficiencies.
"With CyberKnife Access a simple issue can be diagnosed remotely so that a replacement part can be ordered before the engineer even arrives on site," said Jeff Snyder, manager of Radiation Oncology and CyberKnife at Southwest Washington Medical Center in Vancouver, Wash. "It's reassuring to know that when you have a patient coming in for treatment and a service need arises, a lifeline exists so you can get their treatment going without delay."
"We strive to provide the highest level of service and support to our customers," said Chris Raanes, senior vice president and chief operating officer at Accuray. "With CyberKnife Access, we're now able to provide faster and easier servicing to help our customers resume treatments with minimal interruptions to patient care."
Axeda has delivered remote service solutions to more than 20 of the world's leading medical and life science manufacturers. Axeda ServiceLink enables companies to securely monitor the health and performance of their products from anywhere in the world, while helping them comply with industry regulations such as HIPAA and 21 CFR Part 11.
