Error messages
A15 Rotation end posi-
tion is reached
The rotation movement is stopped
because it reaches its rotation
limit.
- Max negative rotation is -165°
- Max positive rotation is +185°
1) If you want to reach the From Below position
rotate the arm to +180° (max negative rotation is -
165°)
2) If the system stops before re185° or -
165° position, note ALL messages and contact

A23 Compression
lower position is
reached
Compression movement is
stopped because the lower posi-
tion of the paddle holder is
reached.
- You get this error when you per-
form a compression movement
without a paddle or with a paddle
for magnification mode without
the magnification platform
installed.
1) Move the paddle holder up (press the compres-
sion release footswitch).
2) If you have the Bucky installed, perform com-
pression with a paddle intended for use in contact
mode (with the Bucky).
3) If you get this message with a paddle intended
for use in contact mode (not magnification) and
with the Bucky installed, an error occurred. Note
ALL messages and contact GEMS Field Service.
A24 Maximum com-
pression force is
reached
The system informs the operator
that the maximum force allowed is
reached.
No more compression is available, even using
manual compression.
A25 Button disabled
(was pressed at boot).
Use other keypad or
reboot.
A Gantry button was pressed dur-
ing the boot sequence while the
Gantry checked its devices. The
button that was pressed is not
functional until the next reboot.
1) If you have pressed a button:
If you want to use this user interface power OFF/
ON from the X-ray Console. If not, continue to use
the system with this button non-functional.
2) Even if you have not pressed a button during the
boot sequence, a user interface will not be func-
tional:
A. To avoid problems during an exam, power
OFF/ON from the X-ray Console.
B. If this message occurs frequently, contact
GEMS Field Service.
A26 Something is pre-
venting decompression
movement
To avoid pinching patient or oper-
ator body part between the paddle
(or paddle holder) and the face
shield (or tube head), the decom-
pression motion stopped as soon
as a negative force was detected.
1) Check if something is pressing on the paddle
that could prevent continuing or starting a com-
pression release movement.
A. If an object is stopping the movement, move
this object to allow motorized decompression.
B. If the patient is pressing on the paddle, try to
change her position to allow motorized decompres-
sion.
2) If error occurs again while space is free, use the
manual decompression.
3) If the problem persists, note ALL messages and
contact GEMS Field Service.
