1 Safety
⇒ The DRYSTAR 5500 is suitable for continuous operation.
⇒ The DRYSTAR 5500 enables or helps in the diagnosis of a patient.
When operating or maintaining the DRYSTAR 5500 always observe the

following safety guidelines:
• Have electrical or mechanical defects repaired by skilled personnel
only!
Do not override or disconnect the integrated safety features.
• Ventilation openings may not be covered.
• Always switch off the DRYSTAR 5500 and disconnect the power cord
from the outlet before carrying out any maintenance work.
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 5500 User and

Reference 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
Agfa Service Organization.
In order to reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove any
covers.
Caution hot:
Keep hands clear from the Thermal Print Head.
Type B equipment:

type B equipment.

Edition 1, Revision 8 DRYSTAR 5500 Chapter 9 / 1
Supplementary protective earth connector:

Provides a connection between the DRYSTAR 5500 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:
i Provides a connection between the printer and other equipment
that 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/Reset 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 when the
printer is connected to a 240 V/60 Hz source instead of a
120 V/60 Hz source.
Transport after installation
The user has to be very cautious concerning stability, when moving the
DRYSTAR 5500. When doing this, he has to take into account the condition
and the structure of the subsoil, obstructions and slopes. The DRYSTAR
5500 can only be transported with all covers closed. The brakes have to be
loose. The DRYSTAR 5500 may not be transported continuously from one
location to the other.
Waste disposal and environmental regulations

In most countries Drystar film is considered industrial waste and is not
allowed to be disposed of as household waste. Please consult your local
waste disposal regulations. Agfa recommends having Drystar film waste
hauled away by a licensed company.
After its life span, do not dispose of the DRYSTAR 5500 without
consideration of local waste disposal regulations. Please consult your local

Figure 18
5.4 Density Reproduction Check

Background With the density reproduction check the difference for a specific film type
Information between optical density defined in the sensitometric calibration file and the
printed optical density, measured with an external densitometer is checked.
This is a plausibility check for the MDM: In case the measured density values
are out of the specified range, the MDM requires a re-calibration.
This procedure must be carried out with every used film type:
(1) Print out test image SMPTE.tif and measure the density of the eleven
100 % – 0% squares with a calibrated MacBeth TR-924, X-Rite 331,
341, X-Rite 301, X-Rite 310 or Gretag D200-2 densitometer.
(2) To check linearity fill in measured values in corresponding Excel file:
Ds5500 density reproduction check DT2B.xls or
Ds5500 density reproduction check DT2C.xls
These Excel files can be downloaded from MedNet, download area

'GSO library - Hardcopy - Dry Imagers - Drystar 5500 - Freeware'.

(3) After the measured values are filled in, the density reproduction is
calculated automatically.
(4) At the right hand side of the table is shown, whether the Density
Reproduction is ok or not. In case it is not ok you are requested to
carry out a MDM calibration.
