This display has been tested and certified to international medical safety standards IEC/EN 60601-1
and IEC/EN 60601-1-2, and is certified to meet C22.2 No. 601.1-M90 (C US Mark).
Because many medical offices are located in residential areas, the medical display, in addition to
meeting medical requirements, has also been tested and found to comply with the limits for
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Class B computing devices in a typically configured
system. It is the system integrator or configurer’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.

Troubleshooting
The applicable safety standards for an MDD Class I display are IEC/EN 60601-1:1900 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-02201Espoo, 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.
European Union Declaration of Conformity for Medical Applications
A Declaration of Conformity has been filed for this product. For additional copies of the Declaration
of Conformity document, contact Planar Systems, Inc.

Safety instructions
Store the display in its original shipping carton when it is not in operation for extended
periods of time. Use the original packing materials and carton when shipping the display.
• Do not place the display near a window. Exposing the display to rain, water,
moisture, or direct sunlight can damage it.
• Do not place anything on top of the video cable. Place the cable clear of foot traffic.
• Do not apply excessive pressure to the screen. Excessive pressure may cause permanent
damage to the display.
• Refer all servicing to qualified personnel to maintain your warranty. The display and power
adapter units contain no user-serviceable parts.

• Make sure the display storage area has a temperature range between -20 and 65 degrees
Celsius. Storing your display outside this range could result in permanent damage.
• Do not expose the display to liquid or drop it. If the case has been damaged, the unit
may pose a shock or fire hazard. Unplug the unit immediately and call customer support for
assistance.
• Replace any cord or cable that is frayed or damaged with another of the same type and
rating as supplied by Planar. The safety and regulatory listings and certifications are based
on the cable supplied by Planar.
• Use only the power adapter that has been tested and approved for use with this display
product. The power adapter must be plugged into a grounded power outlet.
• Do not use the power adapter near inflammable anesthetics.
• Do not immerse the power adapter in liquid, or a safety hazard could arise during use.
• Disconnect the display from the mains by pulling the mains power cord/mains plug.
• Install the display near a wall outlet that is easily accessible.

About the VS15 Display
The Planar VS15XAD VS15 display is a high-resolution color monitor designed to be
versatile and easy to use. This display can accept either analog or digital video input
and display most video standards from 640 x 480 (Video Graphics Array, or VGA,
standard) to 1024 x 768 (Extended Graphics Array, or XGA, standard). The controls
located on the front panel allow you to easily adjust the display’s parameters using
onscreen menus.

The display’s video input is a single-link, transition minimized differential signaling
(TMDS) digital visual interface (DVI). It is compliant with the Digital Display Working
Group (DDWG) DVI standard. This interface produces the sharpest display image
possible with little need for adjustment. The setup is Plug and Play.
The display uses a mounting plate that conforms to the Video Electronics Standards
Association (VESA) mounting standard.* That configuration allows the display to be
mounted in a variety of ways, such as on a wall bracket or swing arm. An alternate
configuration with a desk stand is also available for easy use on flat work surfaces.
The architecture of this display incorporates an active-matrix LCD panel that
produces a clear display with low radiation emission, greatly reducing the radiationrelated health concerns associated with CRT monitors.
* The VESA Flat Panel Monitor Physical Mounting Interface (FPMPMI) Standard defines physical
mounting interfaces for flat-panel displays, corresponding standards for flat-panel display mounting
devices, and associated cable, cable connectors, and power adapter location guidelines. For more

Selecting a workspace
Before you unpack the VS15 display,
select a suitable workspace for the
display and computer. You need
a stable, level, and clean surface near
a wall outlet.
Avoid setting up the display near
a window where sunlight often
comes in. You will have difficulty
seeing the screen with glare
reflecting off the display.
This display is cooled by natural
convection. Do not block the cooling
vents. Place the display in a location
that allows sufficient airflow to ensure
proper ventilation.
