Empyrean Medical Systems
Empyrean Medical Systems is a Florida company developing new radiotherapy machines, including one that uses magnets to shape very high energy electron beams and a robotic arm system for delivering radiation during surgery. None of its patient-treatment devices is yet cleared for sale.
Overview
Empyrean Medical Systems develops radiotherapy devices built around Magnetically Optimized Very High Energy Electron Therapy (MOVHEET), an approach from MD Anderson Cancer Center researchers that uses magnetic fields to sculpt very high energy electron beams and is designed for both conventional and FLASH dose rates. In 2022 the company acquired Vektra, a robotically assisted 50 to 120 kV platform for brachytherapy and intraoperative radiotherapy described as FLASH capable; it is not for sale and is pending FDA 510(k) clearance. Its first shipped product, Artemis 320, is a preclinical cabinet x-ray irradiator intended to replace caesium irradiators, with a first US installation announced in June 2026. In January 2026 Hamilton Reserve Bank took an equity stake and agreed to arrange a credit line of up to USD 20 million; the release states MD Anderson owns 15 percent and Mayo Clinic is also a shareholder.
