Philips CT error code, reported by the Generator (GEST).
What TUBE-HOUSING-OVERHEAT means
On DuraDiagnost F30 DR CT systems, status code TUBE-HOUSING-OVERHEAT indicates: Tube housing overheated — exposure blocked until it cools. The code originates in the X-ray Generator (GEST) section of the Generator (GEST). Severity level warning (Warning).
Reported action: Release the PREP and exposure switch and wait until the message disappears; this gives the tube housing sufficient cooling time, per the OEM message..
From the Generator "Messages to Operator and User" table in the Philips DuraDiagnost F30 DR Technical Manual (DMR293226 REV 04). Shown when the X-ray tube housing overheats and the generator does not allow a further exposure.
