The Drystar 5300 will automatically print the QC test image.
After the QC test image is printed, the Drystar 5300 will display the optical density
values:
5 Report the density levels on the Drystar 5300 Control Charts 2A and 2B
(Drystar 5300 ‘Daily Density Control Chart’). Also record the date and time of
the test on the charts and on the QC test image. Refer to Appendix C ‘Quality
Control Charts’ on page 199.
6 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 optimal image quality’ on page 101 and ‘Preventive
maintenance’ on page 161.
