Good question! If you have a Cath Lab, you want to know how long your Cath Lab tube or X-ray tube will last. Does it last as long as a CT tube?
As a rule, Cath Lab tubes last between 5-8 years. When looking at top sellers in the marketplace, we’ve learned:
What Factors Affect Cath Lab Tube Life?
The major factor that will affect your Cath Lab tube life is its intensity of use. The higher the power level it runs at and the longer the tube runs affects how long it will work. If a tube is operated at moderate conditions, it will last longer than one that consistently runs longer and at higher intensity.
Can I Extend The Life Of My Cath Lab Tube?
In order to help your Cath Lab tube to live a longer life, be sure to keep the tube chiller in good working order by staying on top of regular maintenance. This can keep it operating at maximum efficiency. It’s also important to use the prescribed warmup sequences in the morning and shutdown sequences at the day’s end. This allows temperature changes in tube power to be gradual and therefore less stressful on the Cath Lab tube. Another great idea is to utilize the services of a maintenance service provider on a regular basis. It will help you protect the life of your Cath Lab tube.
