How it fits in the AU200 family:
| Model | Heat rating | Systems | Warranty structure |
|---|---|---|---|
| AU200 | 6.3 MHU | LightSpeed, BrightSpeed, Discovery | 12-month full |
| AU200-C40 | 6.3 MHU | Optima CT660 | 12-month, 6,000 patient exams |
| AU240 | 8.0 MHU | LightSpeed Pro 16, VCT, Discovery, Reevo | 12-month full |
Same heat capacity as the base AU200, but the “C40” suffix and Optima 660-specific fitment suggest this is a housing/connector variant tailored to that scanner generation rather than a different tube performance tier — worth confirming your exact Optima 660 configuration (there are several sub-models) matches this tube before ordering.
Market availability: Chronos (AMS distributor network) — new stock, full manufacturer warranty, positioned as a lower-cost GE OEM-equivalent alternative.
