This category includes the microwave generator, control systems, treatment planning software, and applicators as an integrated system. Devices in this category are regulated as active medical devices that deliver energy to the body and are subject to regulatory requirements for safety, performance, and clinical evaluation based on their intended use and technological characteristics.
