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.
Overview 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. Modality Network Modality...
Overview System Components Film 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. 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.
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.
Overview Automatic Image Quality Control 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: •...
Using and Maintaining the 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.
Using and Maintaining the Imager Local Panel and Display Screen Local Panel / Display Screen Ready LED. When steady on, the LED indicates that the imager is ready for printing. When flashing, the imager is processing and printing films. When unlit, the imager is not ready to print.
Using and Maintaining the Imager Display Screen Icons Icon Description This icon indicates that film calibration is required. The imager is unable to print jobs from this tray until a successful calibration occurs. This icon indicates that a door is open on the imager. This icon indicates an error with the film tray.

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.
Using and Maintaining the Imager Working with Quality The imager can print an internally generated density test print with a Test Prints SMPTE pattern. Density test prints can be used as a quality assurance tool to verify the uniformity of films printed by the imager. The 5850 Laser Imager provides additional test images that can be used for mammography quality control.
Using and Maintaining the Imager Operator Maintenance Changing the Charcoal Filter CAUTION In the U.S., exhausted charcoal filters are considered to be non-hazardous waste according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Resource Conservation Recovery Act (RCRA). Municipality owned and licensed solid waste management facilities are an appropriate disposal option.

Film Technical Information 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, photothermographic 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.
Film Technical Information Environmental Tests show that the laser imaging film is not considered hazardous to the Impact 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.
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 The laser imaging film has been tested and can be archived for more than Film...
