One Shot HVL for Mammography
07 May 12 One shot HVL for mammography is now available to all new Piranhas of version 2 or higher.
One shot HVL is possible both if you are using Ocean or QA Browser, with or without compression paddle.
All Piranhas (version 2 or higher), which are in for re-calibration, will get the one shot HVL feature. -

MAS-2 Probe
Simple Way for Non-invasive Measurements
The MAS-2 Probe is a current clamp probe for non-invasive measurement of mA (tube current) and mAs. The greatest advantages are that the probe is easy to use and that it is safe. Furthermore there is no need to disconnect the high voltage cables to be able to measure mA and mAs. The probe is simply clamped on to the high voltage cable and then ready for measurements, no connection inside the X-ray generator is required. Together with your meter direct reading of mA and mAs as well as waveform are obtained.
MAS-2 Probe together with Barracuda
A special model, MAS-2B optimized for the Barracuda is available. The MAS-2B Probe is ideal for QA since no connection inside the X-ray generator is required and it allows anyone to measure mA and mAs. The Barracuda MAS-2 Probe can be used to measure tube current down to 10 mA. To use the Barracuda MAS-2 Probe the Barracuda must have an electrometer module. Recommended model is EMM-BiasW. The Barracuda MAS-2 probe can be used with the extension cable, EXT-1. Used with the Barracuda, the MAS-2 provides a non-invasive way to measure tube current and mAs on X-ray equipment.
MAS-2 Probe together with Piranha
Connected to the Piranha, the MAS-2 is ready for non-invasive measurements, reading mA, mAs, and capturing an mA waveform. The Piranha MAS-2 Probe is ideal for QA since no connection inside the X-ray generator is required and it allows anyone to measure mA and mAs. The Piranha MAS-2 Probe can be used to measure tube current down to 10 mA.
The MAS-2 probe supports the Piranha ADI (automatic detector identification) system. All information regarding the Probe is stored in a memory inside the probe. When connected, the Piranha automatically identifies the probe and makes all necessary adjustments without any need for interaction from the user. The Piranha ADI system also gives full interchangeability of probes between different Piranha systems using the same type of probes.
MAS-2 Probe together with Solidose 300 or 400
MAS-2 is a non-invasive current clamp probe. It provides a non-invasive way to measure mA and mAs on X-ray equipments. If the same MAS-2 probe should be used with both Barracuda and Solidose 300/400, you must choose this model of the MAS-2 probe.
