Best Theratonics took over both the Raycell and Gammacell product in 2008 and still sells both models. The old Raycell units, NON-CE and CE had a capacity of 1.5 liters and are not sold any longer. To better answer your questions or concerns regarding the Raycell Mk2 please consider the following points: · The cooling of the tubes is dissipated via water so it is very important that you have good cool water flow at all times. It takes only a few seconds for the water to heat up and do damage to the tubes. · There is more maintenance required on the Raycell units than on the Gammacells, due to the process of generating the X-rays for irradiation. On the other hand there are less regulatory requirements on the Raycell versus the Gammacell. · In order to improve uptime and reliability the new Raycell Mk2 has an improved version of the power supply. · In addition, for extended periods of inactivity, it is best to do a warm-up cycle at least daily. If the unit has not been used for more than 8 hours, then turn it off. A warm-up cycle does not hurt the unit, so you may make this more frequent.
