Safety tips

• Use caution when adjusting the position of the display. Improper
handling of the unit may result in hand injury. Always grasp the
sides of the display to adjust the viewing angle, height, or tilt.

• Never place your hands between the display and the stand base
when lowering the display height.

• Never open the display case, even when the power is off. Do not
drop or push objects into the display case. Dangerous voltage
inside may cause electric shock or death.

• Use the grounded power supply and the video cable supplied by
Planar. Replace the power supply or video cable if damaged.

• Be sure the display is electrically grounded. Connect the third
grounding pin on the US power cord to a grounded outlet. The
European power cord lacks a third grounding pin, but it must be
plugged into a grounded outlet. If the power cord connects
directly into the computer, make sure the computer is grounded.

• Keep the display dry if it is part of a surgical system. The display
lacks protection against liquids or spills.

• Do not plug the power supply into an overloaded AC outlet or
extension cord. Overloaded AC outlets and cords can result in
electric shock or fire.

• Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet during
thunderstorms.

• Do not place magnetic devices, such as motors, near the display.

• In locations where 240V outlets are used, connect the

Dome E4c display to a center-tapped, 240V, single-phase
supply only (for Canada and the United States only).

Shipping/storing the display

Keep the display in its shipping container until installation. Return the
display to its original container whenever you need to store the unit,
move it to another location, or return it for repair.

Unpacking and handling tips

The Dome E4c display is a precision instrument that requires proper
care to maintain adherence to specification. Unpack the display
carefully, then follow instructions to avoid damage to the LCD panel.

• Use both hands to grasp the display case when lifting it from
the shipping carton, but avoid touching the screen.

• Do not apply pressure to the screen or touch the screen with
bare fingers or objects. Pressure can affect image quality.

• Allow the display to warm to room temperature before turning it
on. Avoid sudden temperature changes to prevent condensation.

• Secure the display onto the Planar-supplied wall or cart mounting
hardware to ensure safety if you elect not to use the desk stand.

• Do not set up the display near strong light or heat sources.

• Do not block the vents on the display or install the display in a built­in enclosure. Blocked vents cause excessive heat inside the display.

• Do not remove the back cover or disassemble the display.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside.

Cleaning the display unit

Periodically wipe the display housing with a soft, dry cloth to prevent
dust and other material from clogging the venting holes.

The display screen can be damaged by excessive scrubbing and by
incompatible cleaning solvents. Dampen a clean, soft lint-free cloth
with distilled de-ionized water and wipe the screen gently. Use a
clean, soft, dry lint-free cloth to remove any residue.

To remove grease or other organic contaminants from the screen,
use a 50% to 70% IPA (isopropyl alcohol) solution sparingly. Never
use acetone, as it can damage the antistatic hard coating.

Regulatory Compliance

Canada, European Union, United States

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.

The supplier will make available on request, circuit diagrams, component
part lists, etc.

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.
