Elekta selects HyperSTE software for QA and translation cost savings

January 25, 2008

Elekta is an international medical-technology group, providing meaningful clinical solutions, comprehensive information systems and services for improved cancer care and management of brain disorders. Elekta’s systems and solutions are used at over 4,500 hospitals around the world to treat cancer with radiation therapy, to diagnose and treat brain disorders as well as to run efficient and effective clinical practices.

Elekta is the world leader in image guided and stereotactic clinical solutions for radiosurgery and radiation therapy, giving radiation oncologists and neurosurgeons an unmatched capability to aggressively treat tumors and functional targets with ultra-high precision while sparing healthy tissue.

To facilitate safety and the quality of its technical documentation, and to save translation costs, Elekta has selected Tedopres’ HyperSTE quality assurance software. As part of the implementation process, Tedopres assisted Elekta with the development of EASE (Elekta Approved Simplified English), the Elekta standard for unambiguous documentation, which will be deployed by Elekta Worldwide Product Support Centers in the UK, Sweden, Germany and the USA, including IMPAC Medical Systems, an Elekta company.

Says Berry Braster, Director of Tedopres, Inc., “We are pleased to welcome Elekta to our growing customer base of HyperSTE users, but are specifically proud of expanding the benefits of controlled authoring to the medical industry; the deployment of EASE will not only contribute to quality assurance and (translation) cost savings for Elekta technical documentation, but will result in clear communication and improved safety, a key aspect in the medical industry.”
