Multi-modality hyperthermia systems are medical devices designed to deliver precise, localized heating (above 43°C) to treat tumors or other conditions by combining multiple energy sources. These systems use a combination of technologies like ultrasound, radio-frequency, microwave, or heated fluids to target tissues—either externally or via inserted applicators—while maintaining controlled temperature for therapeutic effects.
These devices are typically regulated as complex medical technologies due to their integrated hardware, software, and applicator components. They are often supplied as modular systems requiring professional training for safe and effective clinical use, with compliance requirements varying by jurisdiction based on their intended use and energy delivery methods.
