The error message "MA Level is too low" on the Progeny Preva Dental X-Ray System means that the selected milliampere (mA) setting is below the required level to produce a proper x-ray exposure. This could result in an underexposed image. The operator may need to increase the mA setting to achieve the desired image density.
