In 2002 it received investment from a German company and was reorganized as a German-Hungarian company consisting of OncoTherm Hungary Ltd,[2] and OncoTherm GmbH.[3] The company's methodology is based on the view of its founder that the heat-dose sensitive characterization of tissue is at the core of the hyperthermia treatment.[4] Its main product is the EHY-2000, a hyperthermia device where thermo-electric effects of electrical fields are used. According to its website about 400 devices have been placed into operation, mostly in Hungary and Germany, and performed over 200,000 treatments.[5] The device is not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
