DRYSTAR 5302 USER MANUAL
Performing quality control (QC) tests
The following procedures must be performed daily, weekly or annually as
indicated.
The reason for performing quality control tests is to determine if any
significant image quality variation or deterioration has occurred which may
require corrective action. Comparing the results of the tests with the reference
values previously established does this.
This procedure allows the operator to take the necessary preventive actions
before any image quality loss can take place.
Performing the daily QC test
1 Turn on the Drystar 5302 and wait at least for 15 minutes. Refer to ‘Switching on
the Drystar 5302’ on page 30.
2 Press the Key-operator key to enter the Key-operator mode.
3 Press the down key seven times, followed by the ok key to select ‘QC’.
The ‘QC’ screen appears:
4 Press the ok key to continue.
The Drystar 5302 will automatically print the QC Test image.
This test must be performed every day before any clinical film can be
processed.
