| Issue: | The manufacturer has identified that the permanent operation of the Cios Alpha at very high tube outputs results in increased wear of the radiation generation components. When tube voltages of 125 kV are used over a longer period of time, e.g. more than 30 minutes. There is a risk of premature failure of the monoblock and thus a loss of the imaging X-rays. |
