The Drystar 5302 must only be operated according to its specifications and its
intended use. Any operation not corresponding to the specifications or intended use
may result in hazards, which in turn may lead to serious injuries or fatal accidents
(for example electric shocks). AGFA will not assume any liability whatsoever in
these cases.
All images created using any image technology can show artifacts which could be
mixed up with diagnostic relevant information. If there is any doubt that the
diagnostic information could not be absolutely true, additional investigations must
be performed to get a clear diagnostic.
Film jam removal or cleaning the printer thermal head can be done without
switching the power off. Nevertheless, care should be taken and the following
instructions should be respected:
Safety warning, indicating that the Drystar 5302 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,

DRYSTAR 5302 USER MANUAL
Privacy and security
Within the healthcare industry, several standardization efforts are ongoing as
a response to Privacy and Security legislation and regulations. The purpose of
this standardization for hospitals and vendors is to enable information
sharing, interoperability and to support the workflow of hospitals in a
multiple vendor environment.
In order to allow hospitals to comply with HIPAA regulations (Health
Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) and to meet the IHE standards
(Integrated Healthcare Enterprise) some security features are included in the
user interface of the Drystar 5302 (available via the web pages only: under
‘Security tools’. Refer to Chapter 4, ‘Controlling the Drystar 5302 via a remote
PC (with browser)’ of the Drystar 5302 Reference manual):
•User authentication. The administrator can configure different user
accounts. Each account consists of a user name and a password.
•Audit logging. This implies logging to a central log server of specific
Drystar 5302 ‘actions’, e.g. startup/shutdown, user authentication
(failures), received print job ID information, etc.
•Node authentication, using certificates. Working with SSL (Secure Sockets
Layer) allows secure communications over an insecure network. SSL is the
security layer on top of TCP/IP.
The first two functions are available when access to the Administrator is
granted (i.e. when the Administrator password has been correctly entered).
To activate the SSL, please contact your Agfa representative.
Node authentication, certificates and Certification Authority
Each device - connected to a network - will receive a unique identifier: the
X.509 certificate, a digital passport. Any device on the network is only
allowed to communicate with another node of which it is holding the
certificate in a ‘communication allowed’ table.
A Certification Authority (CA) is responsible for creating a certificate. The CA
can be the hospital, Agfa or a third party.

16 2831A EN 20041201Introducing the Drystar 5302
DRYSTAR 5302 USER MANUAL
This CA distributes the certificate to the hospital security responsible or
service technician, who for his part:
•Imports the device certificate, created by the CA.
•Imports the certificates of all peer devices with which communication is
authorized, i.e. creates the list of ‘communication allowed’ device
certificates.
