Reason for recall

Continuous operation at very high tube output may result in increased wear of the radiation emitting components. This may occur when tube voltages of 125 kV are used for a long period, e.g. 30 minutes or more of continuous use. As a result, risk of premature failure of the Monoblock and loss of imaging X-rays.
