The laser imager is a continuous-tone laser imager with an internal
photothermographic film processor. Heat, rather than photo chemicals,
is used to develop the film. The laser imager receives digital images
from medical image source devices (modalities) over a network. The
format that the imager accepts is DICOM.
The laser imager prints images on laser imaging film. Each film
package contains 100 sheets of film. The imager can accept any type
and size of film as described in Chapter 5 of this manual.
Intended UseThe 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.

How the Laser Imager Works
The imager is a network printer connected on a network along with one or
more medical imaging devices. It prints images sent over the network from
medical imaging devices or workstations sending images concurrently.
The imager has 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
imager can store images, it 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.

Overview
1Film trays. Your imager is configured with two film trays. Each
film tray holds a different size of film. Both film trays must be
installed in order for the imager to operate.
2Film 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.
3Film imaging. The optics module writes the image onto the film
while the film is moved through the exposure transport area.
4Film processor. The film processor uses heat to develop the
image written onto the film by the laser in the optics module.
5Local panel. The local panel contains the display screen.

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:
1-42G07332011-09-09
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.
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.

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 the Imager Power ON and OFF
2011-09-092G07332-1
There is a power switch located at the back right of the imager:
•"|" = Power ON
•"O" = Power OFF
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.

are generated. If there is more than one code associated with the current
condition of the imager, the first code is shown on the display screen for six
seconds, while other codes in the list are displayed for three seconds as the
list is cycled. The LEDs on the left side of the local panel will be on
whenever there is a condition code of that type.

General Description
This section describes the characteristics of laser imaging film, not the
operation of the laser imager. The laser imaging film is a
high-resolution, infrared-sensitive, photothermo graphic film designed
specifically for the laser imager. The laser imaging film is packaged in
daylight-load packages and is available in blue, clear, and
mammography film types.
Spectral SensitivityThe laser imaging film is infrared sensitive and has been sensitized to
the infrared laser diode of the imager. When handled according to
instructions on the daylight-load film package, safelights are not
needed. If you remove undeveloped film from the daylight-load
package, you will need a darkroom setting and a green safelight.
Image QualityThe laser imaging film delivers diagnostic-quality, continuous-tone

Relative Log Exposure (Example)
images along with sharp alphanumerics and optimum contrast. This
high-quality, silver-based film provides health care providers with the
same diagnostic information they are accustomed to
viewing—including the spatial resolution, contrast, and gray levels.
Because it is a totally dry imaging process, there is no image quality
variability due to wet chemistry.

NOTE: There is no SUPERFUND liability with dry laser imaging film.
* State and local laws vary. Consult appropriate regulations or authorities prior to disposal.
Storing and Handling
Undeveloped Film
Tests show that the laser imaging film is not considered hazardous to the
environment. As a result, you can develop, recycle, and dispose of film with
less impact on the environment than if you were using wet-developed silver
halide films.
L
aser Imaging Film
US Environmental Regulations Comparison
To achieve consistent results up to the expiration date indicated on the film
package, the laser imaging film must be stored in a cool, dry place, 5–25 °C
(41–77 °F), and protected from radiation and chemistry fumes.
Handling Developed
Film
The film can withstand short-term temperature spikes, up to 35 °C (95 °F),
for several hours during transit without any significant effect on film quality
or performance. Transit temperatures above 35 °C (95 °F) will gradually
diminish shelf life.
Handling the laser imaging film requires reasonable care. Spills, humidity,
and other moisture typically have no significant effect on developed films.
However, prolonged exposure to intense light or excessive heat,
above 54 °C (130 °F), for more than three hours may cause some gradual
darkening of images. Leaving films in vehicles in hot climates for extended
periods of time is not recommended.
For best results, store film in sleeves when not being reviewed. The laser
imaging film can be left on a light box for more than 24 hours. In extreme
cases in which light boxes are exceptionally hot, above 49 °C (120° F),
remove the film from them prior to eight hours of continuous exposure.
Take care when using spotlight viewing for more than 30 seconds because
temperatures near the light source may exceed 82 °C (180 °F). Use in slide
projectors is not recommended due to the high temperatures generally found
in these devices.
With dry technology, a small amount of final development occurs when the
film exits the Laser Imager and is initially exposed to ambient or view-box
4-22G07332011-09-09
Film Technical Information
lighting. This is virtually undetectable and has no effect on image quality
(typically 0.02 change in density). This small density increase is uniform
and permanent upon full exposure of the film under normal handling
conditions (room light or view box).
Archiving Developed
Film
The laser imaging film has been tested and can be archived for more than
100 years when stored at American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
recommended storage conditions at 25 °C (77 °F). Developed films may be
stored at higher temperatures; however, that may reduce the number of years
the film can be stored. For example, storing films at a constant elevated
temperature of 32 °C (90 °F) may reduce archive capability to 30 years.
Exposing to Moisture The laser imaging films typically withstand humidity, spills and other forms
of water without any significant effect on image quality or film integrity. If
needed, film can be cleaned with a clean, damp cloth.
Dissipating OdorDry technology eliminates virtually all unpleasant odors. While some
low-level odors are produced during the development process, they pose no
known adverse health risks. Processing odor levels are furthe r reduced by a
non-hazardous, recyclable filter in the Laser Imager. This filter traps most
low-level odors and prevents them from dissipating into the work
environment. To help maintain optimum performance, the filter requires
periodic replacement. The laser imager requires no special venting.
Dissipating HeatThe laser imager uses controlled heat to develop the laser imaging film. The
heat has virtually no effect on the air temperature of the work area. The
amount of heat dissipated into an area during a day is typically less than the
heat generated by two to four 100 W light bulbs.
Recycling FilmAccording to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards, the
laser imaging film is not considered hazardous and requires no special
disposal procedures. However, the film does contain silver and polyester
that may be recovered by using one of several recycling processes.

Other Location
Considerations
Additional factors that influence where the imager is located include
proximity to patients, flammable materials, liquids, and other equipment.
This equipment is not contained in a sealed cabinet. Do not use this
equipment in locations where it can come in contact with liquids,
including body fluids.
IMPORTANT:
•This equipment is intended to connect to other medical devices. Only
an authorized service provider may install this equipment.
•Do not locate the imager within 2.0 m (6.6 ft) of where a cell phone
will be used, even if the cell phone is separated from the equipment
by a wall.
•Do not locate the imager within 4.0 m (13.1 ft) of a microwave oven.
Electromagnetic radiation from a microwave oven is only an issue if,
after the oven door is closed and latched, the seal does not maintain
an electromagnetic tight fit between the oven door and the oven main
housing. Determining if the seal has an electromagnetic tight fit
requires special detection equipment.
•Do not locate the imager in the presence of flammable anesthetics,
oxygen, or nitrous oxide. The imager does not have a gas-sealed
electronics enclosure and could ignite any flammable or explosive
gases present in the imager’s environment.
•Do not locate the imager in close contact with MRI devices due to
possible high magnetic fields near an MRI unit. The magnetic field in
the area where the imager is installed must be less than 50 Gauss.
5-22G07332011-09-09
•Do not locate the imager closer than 1.83 m (6.00 ft) from a patient
bed or chair.
•Do not locate the imager in a room that is in direct sunlight.
•Do not substitute or modify any part of the imager.
