Safety precautions
The Drystar 5302 must only be operated according to its specifications and its
intended use. Any operation not corresponding to the specifications or intended use
may result in hazards, which in turn may lead to serious injuries or fatal accidents
(for example electric shocks). AGFA will not assume any liability whatsoever in
these cases.
All images created using any image technology can show artifacts which could be
mixed up with diagnostic relevant information. If there is any doubt that the
diagnostic information could not be absolutely true, additional investigations must
be performed to get a clear diagnostic.
When operating or maintaining the Drystar 5302, always observe the
following safety guidelines:
• Have electrical or mechanical defects repaired by qualified personnel only!
• Do not override or disconnect the integrated safety features.
• Ventilation openings should not be covered.
• Always switch off the Drystar 5302 and disconnect the power cord from
the outlet before carrying out any maintenance work.
Film jam removal or cleaning the printer thermal head can be done without
switching the power off. Nevertheless, care should be taken and the following
instructions should be respected:
Always take into account the markings provided on the inside and outside of
the printer. A brief overview of these markings and their meaning is given
below.
Safety warning, indicating that the Drystar 5302 manuals should be

consulted before making any connections to other equipment. The
use of accessory equipment not complying with the equivalent safety
requirements of this printer may lead to a reduced level of safety of
the resulting system. Consideration relating to the choice of
accessory equipment shall include:
• Use of the accessory equipment in the patient vicinity,
• Evidence that the safety certification of the accessory equipment
has been performed in accordance with the appropriate IEC 601-1
and IEC 601-1-2 harmonized national standard.
In addition all configurations must comply with the medical
electrical systems standard IEC 601-1-2. The party that makes the
connections acts as system configurator and is responsible for
complying with the systems standard.
If required contact your local service organization.

Caution hot:
Keep hands clear from the thermal print head.
In order to reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove any

covers.
Type B equipment:
Indicates that the Drystar 5302 complies with the limits for type B
equipment.
Supplementary protective earth connector:
Provides a connection between the Drystar 5302 and the potential
equalization busbar of the electrical system as found in medical
environments. This plug should never be unplugged before the
power is turned off and the power plug has been removed.
Intergrounding connector:
Provides a connection between the printer and other equipment
which might exhibit minor ground potential differences. These
differences may degrade the quality of communication between
different equipment. Never remove connections to this terminal.
Protective earth (ground):
Provides a connection between the printer and the protective earth
of the mains. Do not remove this connection, because this will have a
negative influence on the leakage current.
Power button:
Note that the power cord has to be disconnected from the wall outlet
in order to disconnect the unit entirely from the mains.
Precautions for use in USA only:
Make sure that the circuit is single-phase center-tapped, if the printer
is connected to a 240 V/60 Hz source instead of a 120 V/60 Hz
source.
Transport after installation

Before moving the printer, always switch off the machine. The Drystar 5302
should be transported by 3 persons or if not possible with 2. Refer to ‘Remove
Drystar 5302 from pallet’ on page 5 of the Installation manual. When doing
this, the stability and the structure of the table top have to be taken into
account. The printer should not be placed on a soft surface, since this might
prevent appropriate ventilation and cause overheating. The printer must only
be transported with all covers closed. The appliance may not be transported

continuously from one location to the other. Do not lift the printer by the
output tray.
Waste disposal and environmental regulations

In most countries Drystar film is considered industrial waste and
consequently it is not allowed to be disposed as household waste. Please
consult your local waste disposal regulations. Agfa recommends having waste
Drystar film collected by a licensed company.
After its life span, do not dispose of the Drystar 5302 without consideration of
local waste disposal regulations. Please consult your local service
organization.

Security precautions
U.S. Law restricts this device to sale to or on the order of a licensed physician.
Printed images should be treated as patient records and should only be

viewed by authorized personnel.
If the power to the printer is unexpectedly interrupted, ensure that

unprinted images are not deleted from the modality prior to printing. To
avoid loss of images in such conditions, a UPS (Uninterruptable Power
Supply) needs to be supplied to the printer.

Privacy and security
Within the healthcare industry, several standardization efforts are ongoing as

a response to Privacy and Security legislation and regulations. The purpose of
this standardization for hospitals and vendors is to enable information
sharing, interoperability and to support the workflow of hospitals in a
multiple vendor environment.
In order to allow hospitals to comply with HIPAA regulations (Health
Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) and to meet the IHE standards
(Integrated Healthcare Enterprise) some security features are included in the
user interface of the Drystar 5302 (available via the web pages only: under
‘Security tools’. Refer to Chapter 4, ‘Controlling the Drystar 5302 via a remote
PC (with browser)’ of the Drystar 5302 Reference manual):
• User authentication. The administrator can configure different user
accounts. Each account consists of a user name and a password.
• Audit logging. This implies logging to a central log server of specific
Drystar 5302 ‘actions’, e.g. startup/shutdown, user authentication
(failures), received print job ID information, etc.
• Node authentication, using certificates. Working with SSL (Secure Sockets
Layer) allows secure communications over an insecure network. SSL is the
security layer on top of TCP/IP.
The first two functions are available when access to the Administrator is
granted (i.e. when the Administrator password has been correctly entered).
To activate the SSL, please contact your Agfa representative.
Node authentication, certificates and Certification Authority

Each device - connected to a network - will receive a unique identifier: the
X.509 certificate, a digital passport. Any device on the network is only
allowed to communicate with another node of which it is holding the
certificate in a ‘communication allowed’ table.
A Certification Authority (CA) is responsible for creating a certificate. The CA
can be the hospital, Agfa or a third party.

15
This CA distributes the certificate to the hospital security responsible or

service technician, who for his part:
• Imports the device certificate, created by the CA.
• Imports the certificates of all peer devices with which communication is
authorized, i.e. creates the list of ‘communication allowed’ device
certificates.

If jobs have been transmitted from the network to the Drystar 5302, they are
put in the print queue on a first in, first out schedule. New jobs that are added
to the queue get the ‘waiting’ status.
As soon as the last film of a job is ejected in the output tray, the next job that
has been calculated will be put in printing status.
Example of the print queue screen:
film 1 of 6
62%
• The first line shows information on the job that is currently being printed:
the modality name, the time of receipt of the job and the job status (refer to
the table below).
• The second line shows how many films are to be printed for the current job
and also which film from that total is currently being printed.
• The progress indicator keeps the user informed of the progress of a
process (e.g., calculation of a bitmap, printing of a film). The line is
gradually filled from left to right, from 0% to 100% as the process
proceeds.
• The last line (reachable by using the down arrow key) displays the number
(xx) of print jobs that are in the Waiting (WA) status. These jobs have been
loaded into the print queue and they are waiting to be printed.

Loading films
This section describes how to load the Drystar 5302 with appropriate films.
The Drystar 5302 can be loaded with 8x10”, 10x12”, 11x14”, 14x14” and
14x17” films.
The Drystar 5302 can be loaded with new films in full daylight. Loading films is
easy and can be done very quickly. Follow the procedures as described in this
section.
The Drystar 5302 will inform you in several ways when a film tray is empty:
• an audible signal,
• the status indicator LED is flashing (red color),
• the display screen shows a message informing you that the input tray is
empty.
The procedure is slightly different, depending on the fact whether the Drystar 5302
is printing/calculating or in the ready state.
When the printer is in the ready state, go to Step 3.
Make sure not to load more than one film pack in an input tray. Loading
more than one film pack in the input tray may damage the Drystar 5302.
When the Drystar 5302 is printing or calculating and an input

tray is empty:
1 The display shows the following message:
Lower input tray empty
DO NOT OPEN TRAY YET

Get new film pack
2 Wait while the printer finishes printing any current jobs.

When the film path is cleared, proceed with step 3.

When the Drystar 5302 is in the ready state and an input tray is
empty:
3 The display shows the following message:
Lower input tray empty
OK to Open the
INPUT TRAY
4 Open the empty input tray.
To avoid possible film jams, make sure to open input tray all the way.
5 The printer is ready to receive a new film when the following message appears:
Remove cover sheet
from tray
Load new film
Close tray

39
6 Remove the white (protective) film sheet.
7 Take film pack, and open it.
Verify that the film type on the film pack corresponds with the sticker on the tray! If
you do use an other film type, you are advised to change the label on the tray.
You can put the film pack onto a table to make manipulation easier. Before you do
this, make sure that the table is dust-free!
8 Remove the sticker from the film pack.

9 Remove the plastic film bag partially.
10 Slide the film pack into the input tray, and remove the plastic film bag
completely.

41
11 Tear the plastic tape from around the film pack.
12 Close the input tray.
The Drystar 5302 resumes printing as soon as the tray is closed.
Loading instructions are also available on the input tray cover.
Never reuse a jammed film. Refer to ‘Clearing of film jams’ on page 161 of the
Drystar 5302 Reference manual.

Checking the correct position of a film in the input tray

You can verify that the film is properly loaded by watching the lower right corner of
the films in the input tray. The rounding of this corner should be smaller than the
other three corners. This is also indicated on the sticker at the right side of the input
tray cover.
When a new film is loaded, the Film Identification tag is read and the printer
settings are automatically adjusted. The Film Identification tag is located on the
protective sheet on the backside of the film pack. The figure below shows the film
pack upside down.

Quality Control
In order to establish and maintain consistent image quality, a regular

evaluation of image quality is advised.
The Drystar 5302 contains an automatic QC feature that has been designed to
comply with the grayscale reproduction constancy test, according to the
international standard IEC 1223-2-4.
Local Regulations may require other procedures.
The Drystar 5302 QC procedure consists of two main steps:
• Before initial use, establishing a number of reference values that will be
used for further follow-up and verifying initial image quality.
• After establishing these values, performing regular daily, weekly and
annual quality tests.
The results of these tests are recorded on Quality Control Charts.
The QC image (Refer to ‘QC test image’ on page 52) has several additional
fields where the QC data can be filled in. This image should be filed as part of
the QC procedure.
For more information, please refer to ‘Quality Control Charts’ on page 75.
2831A EN 20041201 Advanced operation (key-operator mode)

47
Establishing the reference values and verifying image quality

After installation of a new Drystar 5302 and before initial use you must
establish Quality Control aim values. These values will be used as the base
line for comparison when daily Quality Control is done. These values should
be determined again after major service, repair or software update.
The following Quality Control aim values must be determined:
• The daily operating density levels. Refer to ‘Establishing the daily operating
reference density levels’ on page 49.
• Drystar 5302 image geometry. Refer to ‘Establishing the image geometry
reference values’ on page 52.
Once Quality Control aim values are established you must evaluate the
Spatial Resolution, the Artifact Levels and the Low Contrast Visibility to
determine if the image quality is acceptable. Refer to ‘Verifying Acceptable
Spatial Resolution, Artifact Levels and Low Contrast Visibility’ on page 54.
The Quality Control aim values, the Spatial Resolution and Artifact Levels and
the Image Geometry values are all recorded on the Quality Control charts.
Refer to ‘Quality Control Charts’ on page 75.
On these charts, the following test conditions are also recorded:
• The type and serial number of the Drystar 5302.
• The type and emulsion number of the film used to determine the reference
values.
• The time (day, month, year) that the values were established.
Before you can establish the daily operating levels, the Drystar 5302 must
be switched on for at least 15 minutes and it must be calibrated as well.
Refer to ‘Switching on the Drystar 5302’ on page 30 and ‘Performing the

calibration procedures’ on page 97 of the Drystar 5302 Reference manual.

Establishing the daily operating reference density levels

This procedure enables you to establish the base line values for:
• Low density
• Mid density
• High density
The densitometer of the Drystar 5302 is calibrated at installation.
Authorized service personnel should recalibrate the densitometer
annually or after major service or repair.
To establish the daily operating levels, proceed as follows:
1 Press the Key-operator key to enter the Key-operator mode.
2 Press the down key seven times, followed by the ok key to select ‘QC’.

Target: 0.4.
• Mid density: the density value of the Mid density step.
Target: 1.2.
• High density: the density value of the High density step.
Target: 2.0.
If the mid density value does not meet or exceeds the recommended
values, the reason must be found and the problem solved before any
further clinical films can be printed.
Refer to ‘Preventive maintenance schedule’ on page 59 and ‘Maintaining image

quality and resolving image quality problems’ on page 173 of the Drystar 5302
Reference manual, or call your local Agfa service organization.

Verifying Acceptable Spatial Resolution, Artifact Levels and Low Contrast

Visibility
Good viewing conditions are important for the correct interpretation of
both diagnostic and test images. Make sure that the lightbox intensity
(luminance) is between 2000 and 4000 cd/m² (4500 and 6500 °K). Use a
magnifying glass and use shutters to collimate. Make sure the ambient
light is low.
1 Print the QC Test image or use the previously printed QC Test image used to
establish the daily operating density levels.
2 Visually check the QC test image for artifacts: no significant disturbing artifacts
should be visible.
3 Check the spatial resolution in each of the three ovals. Within each oval there
are three groups, each having five dots. All five dots of each group must be
visible with a magnifying glass. The smallest cluster of 5 dots are only visible if
the viewing conditions are good.
4 Record these values at the top of the Drystar 5302 Chart 3 (Drystar 5302
Artifacts and Spatial Resolution Control Chart). Refer to ‘Quality Control Charts’
on page 75.
5 Check the Low Contrast Visibility at both the high (100 / 95%) and low end
(0 / 5%) of the density scale. You should be able to see the circle in the square
(refer to item 1 on the ‘QC test image’ on page 52) and the upper circle (refer to
item 2 on the ‘QC test image’ on page 52).
6 These charts will be used for the weekly quality test. For more information,
refer to ‘Performing the Weekly QC tests’ on page 57.
In case of significant artifacts or insufficient spatial resolution, the reason
must be found and the problem solved before any further clinical films can
be printed.
Refer to ‘Preventive maintenance schedule’ on page 59 and ‘Maintaining image

Reference manual, or call your local Agfa service organization.

Performing quality control (QC) tests

The following procedures must be performed daily, weekly or annually as
indicated.
The reason for performing quality control tests is to determine if any

significant image quality variation or deterioration has occurred which may
require corrective action. Comparing the results of the tests with the reference
values previously established does this.
This procedure allows the operator to take the necessary preventive actions
before any image quality loss can take place.
Performing the daily QC test
This test must be performed every day before any clinical film can be
processed.
1 Turn on the Drystar 5302 and wait at least for 15 minutes. Refer to ‘Switching on
the Drystar 5302’ on page 30.
2 Press the Key-operator key to enter the Key-operator mode.

In case the measure results are not within the aim values, the reason for
the unacceptable density variations must be identified and resolved before
any further clinical films can be processed. This may include repeating the
film calibration procedure.
For possible causes of non-compliance and the respective actions, refer to

‘Preventive maintenance schedule’ on page 59 and ‘Maintaining image quality
and resolving image quality problems’ on page 173 of the Drystar 5302
Reference manual.

Performing the Weekly QC tests

Spatial Resolution, Artifact Test and Low Contrast Visibility
To identify artifacts and verify spatial resolution you must perform the
following test weekly or as needed for troubleshooting image quality
problems.
Good viewing conditions are important for the correct interpretation of

both diagnostic and test images. Make sure that the lightbox intensity
(luminance) is between 2000 and 4000 cd/m² (4500 and 6500 °K). Use a
magnifying glass and use shutters to collimate. Make sure the ambient
light is low.
1 Check the QC test image visually for artifacts: no significant disturbing artifacts
should be visible.
2 Check the spatial resolution.

The test film also shows three squares which each contains an oval. These 3 ovals
contain 3 groups, each having 5 dots. All five dots of each group must be visible with a
magnifying glass. The smallest cluster of 5 dots are only visible if the viewing
conditions are good.
3 Check the Low Contrast Visibility at both the high (100 / 95%) and low end
(0 / 5%) of the density scale. You should be able to see the circle in the square
(refer to item 1 on the ‘QC test image’ on page 52) and the upper circle (refer to
item 2 on the ‘QC test image’ on page 52).
4 Record these values on the Drystar 5302 Chart 3 (Drystar 5302 Artifacts and
Spatial Resolution Control Chart).
In case of significant artifacts, insufficient spatial resolution or failure of

any other recommended QC tests, the cause of the problem must be
identified, and corrective action must be taken before the Drystar 5302
can be used for any further clinical imaging.
Refer to‘Preventive maintenance schedule’ on page 59 and ‘Maintaining image

Reference manual, or call your local Agfa service organization for
assistance.

57
Performing the Annual QC tests

Geometric Consistency Test
To be able to notice fluctuations in image size and aspect ratio, you must
perform this procedure once a year.
1 First, perform the daily test.
2 Use the QC test image of the weekly test and measure the dimensions A and B of
the geometric square. Refer to ‘Establishing the image geometry reference values’
on page 52.
Make sure to measure distance A from the left edge of the left line to the
right edge of the right line and distance B from the upper edge of the
upper line to the lower edge of the lower line.
We strongly recommend using a 30 cm (12-inch) machinist scale with

0.5 mm divisions (1/64 inch).
3 Record these values as measured dimensions A and B on Chart 4 (‘Drystar 5302

Geometric Consistency Control Chart’).
4 Compare the measured A and B dimensions with the reference dimension

values, A ref and B ref on the Drystar 5302 Chart 4 (‘Drystar 5302 Geometric
Consistency Control Chart’).
The differences between measured dimensions of A and B and the reference values A
ref and B ref should be less than or equal to 1.0%.
5 Check for image distortion.
6 Calculate the aspect ratio by dividing A by B.

The result must be 1 +/- 0.01
If the image size or distortion values are outside of limits, contact Agfa
service to resolve the problem.
