00000016 — ECG-modulation signal abnormal

Canon Medical (Toshiba) CT error code, reported by the ECG-modulation (cardiac gating).

What 00000016 means

On Aquilion RX / V4-62R004 and V3.20R003 and Aquilion ONE / V4.2 and Aquilion S16 and Asteion Super4 and Aquilion 16 CT systems, status code 00000016 indicates: ECG-modulation signal abnormal. The code originates in the ECG-modulation (cardiac gating) section of the ECG-modulation (cardiac gating). Severity level 1 (Information / dialog).

Reported action: Check the ECG lead connection and signal quality feeding ECG-modulated scanning, and also verify the gantry's safety pressure switch status, since that message is flagged under the same code..

Reported on Aquilion 16, Aquilion RX/V4-62R004, Aquilion ONE/V4.2, Aquilion S16, Asteion Super4 and V3.20R003 (the ECG-modulation text specifically on Aquilion RX/V4-62R004, V3.20R003 and Aquilion ONE/V4.2). This code number is shared across the 1:SS Display Message and 80:Device APPL tables in errmsg.eng, whose OEM texts are "Safety pressure switch on Gantry is ON." and "ECG-Modulation signal is abnormal." — the ECG-modulation fault is what matters for cardiac-gated scanning; the gantry safety-pressure-switch text tied to the same code number is worth checking too.
