Product Information
The design of the Dome C3i digital flat-panel display takes into account every known
measure to ensure your personal safety. Improper use of the display can result in electric
shock, fire, or damage to the display. Read all instructions before setting up the display.
Intended use
The Dome C3i display is an AMLCD display designed for viewing medical X-ray images.
Safety precautions
External equipment intended for connection to signal input, signal output, or other
connectors, must comply with the relevant IEC standard (EN/IEC 60601-1 series for
medical electrical equipment). In addition, all such combinations (systems) must comply
with the standard IEC 60601-1-1, Safety requirements for medical electrical systems . Equipment not
complying to IEC 60601 must be kept outside the patient environment, as defined in
the standard as at least 1.5 meters from the patient or the patient support.
Any person who connects external equipment to signal input, signal output, or other
connectors has formed a system and is therefore responsible for the system to comply
with the requirements of IEC 60601-1-1. If in doubt, speak with a qualified technician.
To prevent fire or injury
• Replace the power supply or cables if damaged.
•
Use only the appropriate power source indicated in this guide or listed on the display.
•
Activate the Dome CXtra Backlight Saver service (the preferred method) or the DPMS
(Display Power Management Signaling) energy saver when the display is idle for
extended periods.
•
Do not plug the power supply into an overloaded AC outlet or extension cord.
Overloaded AC outlets and cords can result in electric shock or fire.
•
Do not drop or push objects into the display case. Internal components contain
high voltage.
•
Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet during thunderstorms.
•
Do not place magnetic devices, such as magnets or motors, near the display.
Safety tips
•
Never open the Dome C3i display
case, even when the power is off.
Dangerous voltage inside may
cause electric shock or death.
•
To avoid damage to the Dome
C3i display, use the grounded
power supply and video cable
supplied by Planar, or use
certified replacements.
•
Be sure the Dome C3i display is
electrically grounded. You must
connect the third grounding
pin on the US power cord to
a grounded outlet. The European
power cord does not have a third
grounding pin, but it still must be
plugged into a grounded outlet.
•
If you cannot insert the plug into
the outlet you plan to use, have
a licensed electrician replace the
outlet with a properly grounded
outlet. If your power cord
connects directly into the
computer, make sure the
computer is grounded.
•
Take appropriate measures to
keep the Dome C3i display dry
if it is part of a surgical system.
The Dome C3i display lacks
protection against liquids
or spills.

Dome C3i Display
About the Dome C3i Display
The Dome C3i display system consists of a 528-mm (20.8-in.), TFT LCD panel and
a DX2 controller and driver. The display’s thin film transistors, in a transmissive-type
display, use an integrated cold cathode fluorescent tube (CCFT) backlight system.
The display is designed for 3-megapixel (1536 x 2048) grayscale medical imaging in
diagnostic settings, in either portrait or landscape orientation. It comes fully tuned
with gamma correction that complies with the DICOM Part 14 Standard. An all-
digital design enables the display to produce the sharp, crisp images critical to
softcopy medical viewing. Unwanted analog display image artifacts, such as noise,
jitter, ghosting, and image smearing are eliminated.
The Dome C3i display offers the following key features. See the specification for
more information.
• 3061 distinct shades of gray
• IPS LCD technology for distortion-free image over a wide-viewing angle
• Accelerated hardware rotation for viewing in portrait or landscape mode
• Calibrated to DICOM response curve
• Automated calibration and backlight stabilization through RightLight technology
The Dome CXtra™ software enhances the functionality of the Dome C3i display.
Dome CXtra provides a range of value-added services, such as DICOM calibration,
error reporting, and backlight saver. An optional validation package extends the
CXtra services to include display acceptance tests, using the recommendations of
the American Association of Physicists in Medicine, Task Group 18 and the German
standards test, and enterprise management.
Before installing the display system, review the safety and installation precautions.
Once your display system is in operation, follow the guidelines for cleaning and
servicing your unit.
