This display has been tested and found to comply with IEC/EN 60601-1 and IEC/EN 60601-1-2
standards, and is certified to meet medical standard C22.2 No. 601.1-M1990 (C US Mark).
The medical display, in addition to meeting medical requirements, has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Class B computing devices in
a typically configured system since many medical offices are located in residential areas. It is the
system integrator’s responsibility to test and ensure that the entire system complies with applicable
electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) laws.
Planar Systems, Inc. has made great efforts to support the medical device industry, in particular,
medical device manufacturers and medical device system integrators. We offer state-of-the-art
color displays that are compliant with worldwide accepted medical device safety standards, and for
the European market, CE-marked displays based on compliance with counsel directive 93/42/EEC—
commonly referred to as the Medical Device Directive (MDD). The following summarizes our
qualification of these displays as it relates to compliance with the MDD.
The European Medical Device Directive requires that the intended use of the device be defined.
The intended use of these displays is “to display alphanumeric, graphic, and image data as inputted
from any type of medical device.” These displays do not provide a measurement function in any
way, and it is the device and systems manufacturer’s responsibility to verify its function in the
integrated device or system.
The display was classified as required by the MDD according to Annex IX of the directive and the
medical device (MEDDEV) guidance available at the time of classification. Because the display uses
electrical energy and has no direct patient connections and—by itself—no medical utility, the
display is classified according to Rule 12 as an MDD Class I device, component, or accessory. The
MDD states that manufacturers of Class I medical devices or accessories shall satisfy the
requirements in regard to design and manufacturing controls, that is, the applicable assessment
route to be used for CE-marking under the MDD, and it shall carry the CE mark according to
Annex XII of the directive, with no notified body annotation.
The applicable safety standards for an MDD Class I display are IEC/EN 60601-1:1990 along with
Amendments 1 and 2. To help the medical device designer evaluate the suitability of these displays,
Planar has also conducted EMC testing to IEC 60601-1-2 as it can be applied. The display with its
power supply alone does not represent a functional medical device. Hence, Planar configured
a minimal operating system to exercise the display. The resulting data are made available to
interested parties.

This is informative data, not certification data. Certification data must be obtained by the device or
system integrator according to Article 12 of the MDD titled “Particular procedure for systems and
procedure packs.” Paragraph 2 clearly outlines the device or system integrator’s responsibility in
this matter.
In summary, Planar Systems, Inc. is CE-marking these displays under the Medical Device Directive,
which establishes compliance to the basic medical safety standards. However, EMC compliance can
only be accomplished in the configured medical device or system and is the responsibility of the
device or system manufacturer. Planar has the necessary documentation such as IEC 60601-1
notified body and other third-party test reports and certifications, a risk/hazard analysis, an
essential requirements checklist, and the Planar International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)
declaration of conformity.
Planar Systems, Inc., located in Beaverton, Oregon, USA, is the manufacturer of these displays in
the meaning of the directive. As required by the MDD in Article 14, Planar Systems, Inc., not residing
in the European Economic Area (EEA), has a European representative, Planar Systems, Inc.—
Olarinluoma 9, P. O. Box 46, FIN-02201 Espoo, Finland (phone + 358 9 420 01; fax + 358 9 420 0200 ).
In the opinion of Planar Systems, Inc. registration required to put this device into commerce is the
responsibility of the medical device/system manufacturer, and Planar supports this requirement by
providing a European Commission (EC) declaration of conformity. If Planar supplies a display to an
end user, rather than a device manufacturer, it is the end user’s responsibility to ensure continued
compliance with the MDD of the system in which the display is integrated.
For vigilance reporting as required under Article 10 of the MDD, Planar Systems, Inc. will provide
any information requested by competent authority to support any reported incident investigation
by such an authority.

Enhancements with Dome CXtra Software
The Dome CXtra™ software enhances the functionality of the Dome C3 display for
viewing medical images in diagnostic settings. The CX Edition 4.0 for Dome CX
displays comes in two volumes: the base package ships with the display; the
validation package is sold separately.
The advantages of Dome CXtra includes consistent grayscale presentation of
images, as a result of conformance with the DICOM Grayscale Standard display
function. Specifically, the Dome C3 display is fully calibrated to the DICOM response
curve. It uses an embedded RightLight™ sensor to provide continuous luminance
stability, guaranteeing consistent image quality and adherence to DICOM standards.
This sensor works with the digital interface board that is built into the back of
the Dome C3 display.
Dome CXtra base services allow you to monitor and stabilize display backlights,
schedule the backlight saver, and retrieve information on CXtra events and
errors conditions.
With validation services, you can run display acceptance tests, including
the recommendations of the American Association of Physicists in Medicine
Task Group 18 and the DIN test standards. You can also monitor and maintain
your Dome C3 display locally or from a remote location using any SNMP
console application.
For more information, visit www.planar.com.

Power Management
You have two ways to lower energy usage when the Dome C3 display is idle:
• Dome CXtra Backlight Saver service (preferred)
• DPMS (Display Power Management Signaling)
Activate the power saver when you anticipate periods of inactivity, such as at the
end of the work day. Once activated, Backlight Saver (or DPMS) automatically turns
the backlight off during the period of inactivity. Backlight Saver and DPMS both
extend the life of the backlight and reduce burn-in of images.
To activate DPMS, use the display with a computer that has power-saving circuitry.
Computers running the Windows XP or Windows 2000 operating system have this
feature built in.
The backlight lasts approximately 30,000 on-time hours.
Do not use both the Backlight Saver and DPMS.

The dynamic gray palette reserves the first and last 10 entries in the palette for the
Windows NT operating system, but you can manipulate the middle 236 entries.
Your application can create a 256-entry gray ramp in any 8-bit driver by calling the

Nonlinear static gray palette
The nonlinear static gray palette sets the first and last 10 palette entries to graymapped Windows colors. The middle 236 entries are ramped in ascending order,
excluding the first and last 10 palette entries. Windows applications that use the
first and last 10 palette entries as Windows colors display correctly on the screen.
Although the nonlinear static gray palette provides correct colors for applications
using the Windows palette, colors display incorrectly if the application assumes
that a static palette is always ramped.
Static gray palette
The static gray palette provides 256 shades of gray in a static palette. This palette
does not reserve the first and last 10 palette entries for icons and other standard
Windows graphics, which frees the entire grayscale ramp for applications.
The static gray palette does not provide gray-mapped Windows colors for the first
and last 10 palette entries. Because the framebuffer assumes the Windows palette
is in use, applications that draw directly to the framebuffer display incorrectly.
For example, icons and button bitmaps may display in black and white.

Note
Applications cannot set the
nonlinear static gray palette or
the static gray palette. They must
read the palette from the operating
system and use it when drawing
directly to the framebuffer.
Application colors display
incorrectly if the application
assumes all 8-bit framebuffers
have palettes that can be set.
