Corrective Action
- Lower kV or mAs values.
- Breast compression is
mandatory.
- Wait for cooling to terminate
(or lower mAs values in
Manual Mode).
- Wait for cooling to terminate
(or lower mAs values in
Manual Mode).
- Wait for cooling to terminate
(or lower kV values in AEC
Mode).
- Lower mAs values.
- Press the screen/film selection
button to select a calibrated
pair.
- If the fault continues, it
indicates that no pair has
been calibrated.
- If fault continues, note ALL
messages and contact
GEMS Field Service.
- Note ALL messages and
contact GEMS Field Service.
- Wait for the tube housing
temperature to fall.
- Increase the kV value or reduce
the mAs value.
- If a previously exposed
cassette is still in the bucky,
remove it and insert an
unexposed one.
- If there is no cassette in the
bucky, insert an unexposed
one.
- If the message is still displayed,
