1.2 Summary

MED-TAB is a 13.3” color LCD monitor including built in tablet computer for viewing and
analysis of medical images other than those of mammography from a picture archiving and
communication system (PACS). The color panel employs in-plane switching (IPS) technology
allowing wide viewing angles and the matrix size (or resolution) is 1920 x 1080 pixels (2MP).
There is one REGULAR display MODE to visualize non-medical images and one DICOM MODE
factory calibrated display mode to display medical images according to DICOM GSDF
regulations.

CALCON is application software which is preinstalled in each tablet offering quality control of
the monitor. The software supports quantitative and visual tests.

The MED-TAB has been precisely calibrated to comply with DICOM Part 14 at factory. With
built-in brightness stabilization circuit, USB adjustment tool and ambient light sensor, stable
brightness and persistent calibration can be guaranteed. The MED-TAB can support both
landscape and portrait mode. The anti-reflection coated protective screen can prevent display
from damage under heavy operating conditions. The tablet-PC is designed in conformity with
IEC60601-1, IEC60601-1-2 and CCC standards.

CAUTION

Danger of wrong image analysis results.

Read the entire manual in full detail to ensure safe and proper use, before using the device
