Regulatory Compliance

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-M1990 (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.

The applicable safety standards for an MDD Class I display are IEC/EN 60601-1:1997
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.

The data are 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.

v

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.—Espoo, Finland.

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.

A Declaration of Conformity has been filed for this product. For additional copies of
the Declaration of Conformity document, contact Planar Systems, Inc. and request

water, moisture, or direct sunlight can damage it.

Do not place anything on top of the video cable. Make sure
the cable is placed where it will not be stepped on.

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.

the display.

Store the display in an environment with a temperature range
from -20 to 65 degrees Celsius. Storing your display outside that

damaged, the unit may pose a shock or fire hazard. Unplug the unit
immediately and call customer service 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.

approved for use on the non-touch screen (model VSS15X) and the
touch screen (model VSS15X-TR).

Do NOT use water or solvents (such as ketone, acetone) and aromatics
(such as xylene, toluene).

To clean the screen

Switch the power off.
Dampen a clean nonabrasive cloth with 70 percent

isopropyl alcohol.
Wipe the screen gently with the dampened cloth.
Dry the screen with a clean nonabrasive cloth to remove

any residue.

About the VitalScreen S

•

•

•

•

The architecture of the VitalScreen
panel that produces a clear display with low radiation emission. This
technology greatly reduces the radiation-related health concerns
associated with CRT monitors.

More significant, the VitalScreen S display is medically certified under
UL 2601 and IEC 60601. These qualifications make the display safer for
the patient and protect the hospital from liability.

Your new VitalScreen S display is versatile, ergonomic, and user­friendly. It supports Plug and Play and displays most standards from
640 x 480 VGA to 1024 x 768 XGA. The digital controls located on the
front panel allow you to easily adjust the display parameters using
onscreen menus. When incorporated into a complete workstation,
the display can be wall-mounted for added convenience.

Selecting a Workspace

Before you unpack the VitalScreen S display, select a suitable
workspace for the display and computer. You need a stable, level, and
clean surface near a wall outlet.

Even though this display uses little power, place it in a location that
allows sufficient airflow to ensure proper ventilation.

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.
