DD+DISDIS237.01E Maintenance Instructions

1 Safety issues

When operating or maintaining the Drystar 3000, 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.
Always switch off the Drystar 3000 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 3000 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 601-1-1
harmonized national standard.
In addition all configurations must comply with the medical electrical systems
standard IEC601-1-1. 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 decurl unit.

Type B equipment:
Indicates that the Drystar 3000 complies with the limits for type B equipment.

Supplementary protective earth connector:

Provides a connection between the Drystar 3000 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:
Provides a connection between the printer and other equipment which might
exhibit minor ground potential differences. These differences may degrade the
quality of communication between different equipment. Never remove connec-
tions to this terminal.

Revision 27 Drystar 3000 (Type 5361) Section 12 / 1

Maintenance Instructions DD+DIS237.01E

1.1 Transport after installation

The user has to be very cautious concerning stability, when moving the printer.
When doing this, he has to take into account the condition and the structure of the subsoil,
obstructions and slopes. The appliance can only be transported with all covers closed. The
brakes have to be loose. The appliance may not be transported continuously from one
location to the other.
Ventilation openings may not be covered.
The Drystar 3000 is suitable for continuous operation.
The Drystar 3000 enables or aids in the diagnosis of a patient.
Refer to the Drystar 3000 Reference Manual for compliance with international regulations.

1.2 Environmental regulations and waste disposal

In most countries Drystar film is considered industrial waste and consequently it is not allowed
to dispose of it as household waste. Please consult your local waste disposal regulations.
Agfa recommends to have waste Drystar film hauled away by a licensed company for
recovering the silver.
After its life span, do not dispose of the Drystar 3000 without consideration of local waste
disposal regulations. Please consult your local sales organization.

1.3 EMC issues

USA: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class A digital
device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial
environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if
not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is
likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the
interference at its own expense.
If required, contact the Agfa Service organization.
Canada: This class A digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference-
Causing Equipment Regulations.
EC: This is a class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio
interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.

1.4 Compliances
This equipment complies with the Medical Devices Directive 93/42/EEC and with the
standards UL2601-1 of Underwriters Laboratories and CSA 22.2 No.601.1-M90 of the
Canadian Standards Association.

1.5 I/O connectors

Refer to the Drystar 3000 Reference Manual for more information.

DD+DISDIS237.01E Maintenance Instructions

2 General notes

The maintenance instructions are to be considered confidential.

Maintenance must be carried out every 12 months or always after 15.000 prints.

To ensure quality and functional reliability of the system all the points listed
below (minimum maintenance points) must be carried out.

The maintenance points have been arranged in a chronologically suitable order

to make the work routines as efficient as possible.

The sequence of the maintenance points in the checklist (see appendix) is

identical with these maintenance instructions.

If there is a detailed description for a certain maintenance point in the service

documentation, this will be noted in the column "details".

During the maintenance procedure always consider the safety instructions, see
TECHNICAL DOCUMENTATION section 6 / 1.

Please check if it is necessary to include country specific regulations as

additional maintenance points!
