1 Overview

DRYVIEW 5800 and 5850 Laser Imagers

The 5800 and 5850 Laser Imagers are continuous-tone laser imagers with an internal photothermographic film processor. Heat, rather than photo chemicals, is used to develop the film. The Laser Imagers receive digital images from medical image source devices (modalities) over a network. The format that the Imager accepts is DICOM.

The Laser Imagers print images on KODAK DRYVIEW Laser Imaging Film. Each film package contains 100 sheets of film. The Imagers can accept any type and size of film as described in Chapter 5 of this manual.

Intended Use The KODAK DRYVIEW 5800 Laser Imager provides high quality hard

copy film output from digital imaging source modalities for use in medical imaging diagnosis and referral. Electronic image information signals are managed and transformed optically to expose KODAK DRYVIEW media. The system is intended for use with a variety of digital modalities including, but not limited to, CT (Computerized Tomography), MR (Magnetic Resonance) and CR (Computed Radiology) for diagnostic use by medical radiologists and communications to referring physicians and their patients.

The CARESTREAM DRYVIEW 5850 Laser Imager is intended to provide high-resolution hard copy images from digital imaging source output signals. The device is intended for use with KODAK DRYVIEW media including DVM (DRYVIEW Mammography Films). The imager will interface with a variety of digital modalities, including, but not limited to, CR (Computed Radiology), DR (Digital Radiology), CT (Computerized Tomography), MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), and FFDM (Full Field Digital Mammography). The images are to be used for medical diagnosis and referral to physicians and their patients.

Network

Modality

How the Laser Imagers Work

The Imagers are network printers connected on a network along with one or more medical imaging devices. They print images sent over the network from medical imaging devices or workstations sending images concurrently.

The Imagers have hard-disk storage for a large number of digital images. As images arrive, they are stored on the hard disk and placed in a print queue (sequenced for printing) based on time of receipt and priority. Because the Imagers can store images, they can continue to accept incoming print jobs even when the film cartridge is empty or the Imager is temporarily unable to print. Images that require a different film size or film type than is currently in the Imager are placed in a separate “waiting for media” queue and a code on the Local Panel reminds the operator to change film.

During normal operation, the Imager requires very little operator attention. The Imager prints automatically in response to print requests from the associated image devices. Information sent along with print requests, such as film size, density and priority, control the print operations. Main operator responsibilities include loading film and monitoring for malfunctions.

System Components

Overview

1 Film trays. Your Imager is configured with two film trays. Each

film tray holds a different size of DRYVIEW Laser Imaging Film. Both film trays must be installed in order for the Imager to operate.

2 Film feed transport. The film feed transport orients and centers

the film while moving the film from the film tray to the imaging portion of the Imager.

3 Film imaging. The optics module writes the image onto the film

while the film is moved through the exposure transport area.

4 Film processor. The film processor uses heat to develop the

image written onto the film by the laser in the optics module.

5 Local panel. The local panel contains the display screen.

February 27, 2009 2G0733 1-3

Overview

Print Sequence

When the Imager receives a print request, it determines the requested film size and type and then it selects the appropriate film tray.

Each time the Imager receives a print request, the following print sequence occurs:

1. Suction cups in the pickup area lift a single sheet of film out of the tray and feed the film into the transport rollers.

2. The transport rollers move the film up into the registration transport area, where film registration takes place.

3. As the film moves through the exposure transport, the optics module writes the image onto the film, then moves the film into the film processor.

1-4 2G0733 February 27, 2009

4. As the film passes over the processor drum, the heat generated by the drum develops the film.

5. The film transport rollers move the exposed film to the exit area.

Automatic Image Quality Control

CAUTION:

LASER WARNING:

An internal densitometer is a key element in the Automatic Image Quality Control (AIQC) process. The densitometer enables the Imager to automatically adjust image processing parameters to produce the best image. The Imager adjusts these parameters each time it prints a calibration film.

A calibration film is printed when:

• The film tray is inserted in the Imager with film of a new lot number.

• A calibration film is requested from the local panel or web portal.

• A film tray is inserted into the Imager for which a current calibration

is not stored.

Imager

Operator Control of the Imager

During normal operation, the Imager receives and automatically prints images sent by modalities over a network. Very little operator control is required. The main responsibilities of the operator are described in the following section, along with overview information about using the Imager.

Turning Imager Power ON and OFF

There is a power switch located at the back right of the Imager. In the event of a power loss, the Imager shuts down. Films in process

will not be completed and will remain where they are located in the Imager.

The Imager will restart after power is restored. After self-test, the Imager clears any films in process and automatically reprints any films that were in process when power was interrupted.

Using and Maintaining the Imager

Calibration Prints Imager calibration is performed by printing a calibration print. A calibration

print has a step wedge pattern with a series of 26 stripes of increasing optical density. The only purpose of a calibration print is to calibrate the Imager. The Imager prints a calibration print when:

• A manual film calibration is requested.

• A film tray containing film with new sensitometric characteristics

(speed, contrast) is loaded.

• A film tray for which a current calibration is not stored is inserted into

the Imager.

You can discard all calibration prints.

Running a Calibration Print

You may occasionally have to request that the Imager print a calibration print to calibrate the Imager. You may be asked to do this if you call for service. You should also run a calibration print if a "Not Calibrated" status message appears on the Web Portal Home screen, or if a calibration error code (2x-624, 2x-631, or 2x-632) appears on the display screen.

To request a calibration print from the local panel, press the calibration button for the applicable film tray (see “Local Panel / Display Screen”).

To request a calibration print from the Web Portal:

1. Access the Web Portal (see “Accessing the Web Portal”).

2. Click Calibrate, for the applicable film tray.

Calibration Failure Occasionally, the Imager may fail calibration and will notify the operator

with an error code on the display screen and a code and message on the Web Portal. The most common cause is a film-related problem. Depending on the cause, the Imager may be able to continue operating, but would display the “manual mode” icon.

3. Select Cancel to exit from the Test Print menu.

1. Access the Web Portal (see “Accessing the Web Portal”).

2. Select Diagnostics>Test Print.

3. For “Select Test,” use the drop-down menu to select the desired test. For example, for the SMPTE pattern, select Density Test.

4. Enter an optional label to be printed on the test film.

5. Enter the desired density (0.1 to 3.2).

6. Use the drop-down menu to select the film tray.

Changing the Charcoal Filter

In the U.S., exhausted charcoal filters are considered to be non-hazardous waste according to the US Environmental Protection Agency Resource Conservation Recovery Act (RCRA). Municipality owned and licensed solid waste management facilities are an appropriate disposal option. Contact your local or state solid waste authorities to determine if additional disposal requirements apply. In other regions, contact local or regional solid waste authorities for proper disposal guidance.

The preventive maintenance filter must be changed every 7,500 films. When it is time to replace the filter, condition code 20449 and an icon show on the display screen.

1. Remove the film trays see (“Inserting the Film Saver and Removing

the Film Tray”).

2. Turn the Imager OFF.
