Explanation
Generator-X-ray Console con-
nection is faulty.
Micro power cut occurred on line
supply.
Operator has selected a view
name for recumbent patient.
CPU backup battery is dis-
charged.
It is necessary to wait the dis-
played time to be able to repeat
the same exposure.
The amount of mAs necessary to
repeat the same exposure is too
high in the mode selected.
This error indicates that the aver-
age signal level of the pre-expo-
sure image is too low to calculate
the X-ray parameters for the
exposure.

Power OFF/ON from the X-ray Console.
If the problem continues, note ALL messages and
contact GEMS Field Service.
If you do not want to make the acquisition with the
selected view name, enter and leave the Setup/
View menu without pressing Valid, to return to nor-
mal view name selection.
The view name selection will return to normal
selection after the next exposure.
Contact GEMS Field Service.
DO NOT REMOVE POWER FROM EQUIPMENT.
Wait the required amount of time to repeat expo-
sure. If an exposure is attempted before this time,
an abort may possibly occur (there is a safety mar-
gin to ensure proper operation).
You can ignore the message if a different, less
dense, breast is to be imaged next.
Switch to a different mode or to a different filter.
Switch to Manual mode, or ensure that conditions
are correct for use of AOP.
When using AOP:
- Do not use AOP if the breast thickness exceeds
9 cm (3.5 inches).
- Ensure that no highly attenuating objects (mark-
2
ers larger than 2 mm , needles, etc.) are inside the
AOP sensing zone
- Ensure that the collimator blades are outside the
FOV.
- Ensure that the compression force and thickness
measurements are correctly calibrated.
-Do not use AOP with a breast containing an
implant.
If the problem recurs frequently after taking the
above precautions, note ALL messages and inform
GEMS Field Service.
