VCT, Pro100 and RT16 systems use D3194T as replacement. D3194T tubes now manufactured have a high voltage cable one inch longer. Longer cable is necessary for use in all Wide Bore Gantries. If a very old D3194T tube is installed on a Wide Bore Gantry, the high voltage cable may be too short. A newer D3194T tube would have to be ordered in this case. With the release of M4 software, 07BW08.3.WB_H_G16_GTM, the correct tube to order is now D3194T for RT16 Systems . M4 software releasing to pilot and clincal sites with FMI 22915. - P Quilter June 23, 2007.
