DRYSTAR 5500/5503 REFERENCE MANUAL
4 Press the Up/Down arrow keys to select the proper input tray, followed by the
Confirm key.
The Drystar 5500 will automatically print the QC general radiography test image.
5 After the image is printed, the system will display all measured optical density
values:
6 Record the low, mid and high density values on Charts 2A and 2B
(‘Drystar 5500/5503 Daily Density Control Chart’). Also record the date and
time of the test on the charts and on the QC general radiography test images.
Refer to ‘Charts for general radiography QC’ on page 242.
7 Press the Confirm key to return to the main menu.
In case the measure results are not within the aim values, the reason for
the unacceptable density variations must be identified and resolved before
any further clinical films can be processed. This may include repeating the
film calibration procedure.
For possible causes of non-compliance and the respective actions, refer to
‘Maintaining image quality and resolving Image quality problems’ on page 220
and ‘Preventive maintenance schedule’ on page 186.
