TUBE - OPTIMA 220 W/CABLE

The Optima 220 Toshiba X-Ray Tube is applicable to the X-Ray tube for mobile radiography products. The tube selected for this product family is the E7894X general radiography tube manufactured by Toshiba or Canon. The systems work on the principle where high velocity electrons, when interacted with a patient’s body, their kinetic energy is converted into electromagnetic radiation. An X-Ray tube is the component that produces the X-Rays. It contains an anode and a cathode and a stream of electrons is produced by this X-Ray tube. They are accelerated to very high velocities by an external high voltage power supply, and it’s collided with the target anode in the tube. A beam is then formed and is focused on the patient and X-Rays emerging from the patient carry the image information which can then be stored on X-Ray film. The X-Ray tube is considered Critical to Safety for protection from radiation (leakage radiation), expelled parts (in an event of target failure/rupture), the bolts’ torque for mounting the stainless collimator mating flange. Technical data sheet, Certificate of Conformance (CoC) need to be Supplied with Each Unit.
