CAUTION

Do not use in the presence of flammable anesthetics, oxygen or nitrous oxide. This
equipment does not have a gas sealed electronics enclosure and could ignite any
flammable or explosive gases present in its environment.

!

CAUTION

This equipment is intended to connect to other medical devices. Installation and
service maintenance are to be performed only by qualified service personnel. The
laser in the equipment is not a patient device. Therefore the equipment must be
installed no closer than 1.83 meters from a patient bed or chair.

!

CAUTION

Do not substitute or modify any part of this equipment without approval of Eastman
Kodak Company.

!

CAUTION

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B
digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. Those limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:

 Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
 Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
 Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the

receiver is connected.

 Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

DANGER

The equipment employs a 50 milliwatt laser. Laser radiation may be present when
the machine operates without the rear cover installed.

Use of controls or adjustments, or performance of procedures other than those
specified herein, may result in eye damage.

The rear cover shall be removed by authorized service personnel only.

DANGER

Bypassing interlocks (other than the Service Interlock above)
will allow the system to run with the laser energized.

Exposure to laser light may result in permanent eye damage.

Introduction

Introduction

Introducing the Kodak DryView 8100 Laser Imager

The DryView 8100 Laser Imager is a continuous tone laser imager with an internal
photothermographic film developer. Heat, rather than photo chemicals, is used to
develop the film. The imager can be connected to and print images from a variety of
medical image source devices such as CT scanners or Ultrasound. It can also be
connected to a DICOM medical image network via the PACS Link 9410 Acquisition
System.

The DryView 8100 Laser Imager uses 14 inch x 17 inch (35 cm x 43 cm) DryView
Laser Imaging Film, which is packaged in 125-sheet Kodak Instant Daylight Load
Film Cartridges.

A DryView V2 Keypad can be used to control the imager, or the system can be
controlled from the host modality. A footswitch is also available, providing an optional
method of acquiring images for printing.

System Configurations

The DryView 8100 Laser Imager can be used in two system configurations. The key
features of these are described below.

DryView 8100 Laser Imager

 The imager connects directly to up to three image source devices. (The standard

unit has one input, but it can be upgraded for additional inputs.)

 Copper cables are used for connections to the source imaging device and

keypad.

 The operator controls image acquisition and printing from either a keypad or a

console on the host source imaging device.

Dryview 8100 PACS Link Laser Imager

 The imager connects to a DICOM medical image network via a PACS Link

Interface.

 The imager prints images sent from image source devices or archiving stations

connected to the DICOM network.

DryView 8100 Laser Imager User Guide

How the DryView 8100 Laser Imager Works

 Using the keypad or host console, the operator acquires an image from the

image source device. The image is stored on a hard disk in the imager.
 Using the keypad or host console, the operator prints the image.
The following sequence occurs each time the operator issues a print command. The

step numbers refer to the circled numbers in Figure 1-2. The dashed lines in the
illustration indicate the film path.

1. Suction cups lift a single sheet of film out of the supply cartridge and route it into

the film feed rollers.

2. The film feed rollers move the film down to the platen rollers.

3. The platen rollers drive the film into the exposure module platen.

4. A moving laser beam writes the image onto film, which is held stationary in the

platen.

5. The platen rollers reverse direction and move the exposed film up through the

vertical transport area.

6. Transport rollers drive the film onto the processor drum.

7. The heated processor drum develops the film as it passes over the drum.

8. Rollers move the developed film from the processor drum, through the

densitometer (see the next paragraph), and onto the receive tray.

Automatic Image Quality Control

The built-in densitometer is a key element in the Automatic Image Quality Control
(AIQC) process. AIQC allows the imager to automatically adjust processing
parameters to ensure optimum image quality. The imager adjusts these parameters
each time it prints a calibration film. A calibration film is printed whenever:

 The DryView 8100 Laser imager is powered on.

 A calibration film is requested from the Local Panel.

 The imager has not been used for 7 days, and a print is requested.

Manual Mode of Operation

The imager can be operated in a “manual” mode, without AIQC. Use of this mode is
explained in Section 3 of this manual.

10. Open Door Key – Press momentarily to open the front door. The film cartridge

first closes to prevent exposing the film. Then the front door is unlatched.
If a film jam at the cartridge prevents the cartridge from closing, error message

P138 (Press Open 5S) will display. This indicates that you must hold down the
Open Door key for 5 seconds to unlatch the door. Since the film cartridge is
open, when you open the door the top sheets of film will be exposed. To
minimize exposure, you should make the room as dark as possible before
opening the door.
