Regulatory Compliance
This display has been tested and certified to international medical safetystandards 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.
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.

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.
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.
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. and request document number 001-0014-12
“Declaration of Conformity.”

About the VitalScreen S
The architecture of the VitalScreen™ S display incorporates an AMLCD TFT flat 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 60601-1. These qualifications make the display suitable for use within the pointof-care medical environment.
The VitalScreen S display is versatile, ergonomic, and user-friendly. It supports most
standards from 640 x 480 VGA to 1280 x 1024 SXGA. 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 wallmounted 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

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.
