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 enti re 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 referre d 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 manufactur er’s responsibility
to verify its function in the integrated device or system.

iii

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 device­component or ac c e s s o ry. The MDD stat es t h a t m anufa c tu r ers of Cla s s I
medical devices or acces sories shall satisfy the r equirements 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 60601-1:1900 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 I EC 60601-1-2 a s 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 parti es.

The data are informative data, not certification data. Certification
data must be o btain ed by the device or system integrator according
to Article 12 of the MDD titled “Particular procedure for systems and
procedure packs.” Paragraph 2 clearly outli nes the device or system
integrator’s respons ibility in this matter.

iv

In summary, Planar Systems, Inc. is CE-marking these di splays
under the Medical Device Directive, which establishes compliance to
the basic medical safety standards. However, EMC compliance can
only be accomplishe d in t he conf igured me d ical devi ce or system and
is the responsibility of the device or system man u facturer. 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 requ irements checklist, and the Planar International
Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) declaration of co nformity.

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 t h is
device into commerce is the responsibility of the medical device/system
manufacturer, and Planar sup ports this requirement by providin g 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.

The VitalScreen S Display

The archi tecture of the VitalScreen S display incorporates an
active matrix liquid crystal display (AMLCD) panel that produces
a clear display with low radiation emission. This technology greatly
reduces the radiation-related health concerns associated with
cathode-ray tube (CRT) monitors.

More significant, the VitalScreen S display is medically certified
under UL 2601 and IEC 60601. These qualifications not only
make the display safer for the patient but also 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 . Wh en i nc or p ora t e d into
a complete workstation, the display can be wall-mounted for
added conven ience.

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 sur fa c e near a wall ou tl et. E ven th ough this displa y
uses little power, pl ace it in a location that allows sufficient
airflow to ensure prope r ven ti l a t ion .

Avoid setting u p th e dis pl ay n ear a window where sun li gh t oft en
comes in. You wi l l ha v e diff i cu lt y s ee ing th e screen with glar e
reflecting off the display.
