Product Description: The GE MRI Coldhead Sumitomo 10K Model RDK-408T (Part Number 2200832) is a vital part of the MRI’s cryogenic system. Superconducting magnets, which are the core of an MRI scanner, must be kept at extremely low temperatures using liquid helium. This coldhead’s primary function is to re-condense the helium gas that naturally boils off, converting it back into a liquid state. This process is critical for preventing a “magnet quench,” which is a catastrophic and expensive failure. The RDK-408T model is known for its reliability and its 10,000-hour maintenance interval. It is the lowest boil-off option for GE’s S-Series magnets and is compatible with various GE MRI systems, including the Signa and Conquest series.
