In 2011, the company obtained humanitarian device exemption (HDE) marketing approval for the BSD-2000 from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

The BSD-2000 is approved for use in conjunction with radiation therapy for the treatment of cervical cancer patients who normally would be treated with combined chemotherapy and radiation but are ineligible for chemotherapy due to patient-related factors.

The company also has CE Mark approval for the commercial sale of BSD-2000 in Europe.
