Regulatory Compliance
This display has been tested and found to comply with IEC/EN 60601-1 and IEC/EN 60601-1-2
standards, and is certified to meet medical standard C22.2 No. 601.1-M1990 (C US Mark).
The medical display, in addition to meeting medical requirements, has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Class B computing devices in
a typically configured system since many medical offices are located in residential areas. It is the
system integrator’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 60601-1:1990 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. –MORE–

This is 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.—
Olarinluoma 9, P.O. Box 46, FIN-02201Espoo, Finland (phone + 358 9 420 01; fax [phone]).
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.

About the VS17 Display
The architecture of the VS17 display incorporates an active matrix liquid-crystal
display (AMLCD) panel that produces a bright, high-contrast image with low
radiation emission. This technology greatly reduces the radiation-related health
concerns associated with cathode-ray tube (CRT) monitors.
The VS17 is a high-resolution color display designed to be versatile and easy to use.
The display accepts either analog or digital video (DVI) input and displays most video
standards from 640 x 480 (VGA standard) to 1280 x 1024 (SXGA standard). The
controls located on the front panel allow you to easily adjust the display parameters
using onscreen display (OSD) menus.
Digital video input is a single-link, transition minimized differential signaling (TMDS)
digital visual interface (DVI), and is in compliance with the Digital Display Working
Group (DDWG) DVI standard. This interface produces the sharpest display image
possible with little need for adjustment. The setup is Plug and Play. The display
complies with the VESA DDC1 and DDC2B protocols for analog mode. For more
information, refer to the VESA standard DDCC Interface.
This display has been designed, tested, and certified for use within the patient
vicinity. It has lower electric discharge, thus reducing the likelihood of electric shock.
The display is certified to UL-2601, IE 60601-1, and other representatives of the most
stringent electric discharge certifications available. In addition, the interface buttons
on the front panel are sealed by a plastic membrane, allowing simpler and safer
cleaning. The display also meets the liquid/particle ingress certifications, IPX1.
For more information, see the display specification.

On volume control
In some instances, the volume
control function may be disabled.
If so, the volume has been preset
to the maximum.
Although the display speakers
are adequate for most audio
applications, Planar does not
recommend using the display
speakers as the exclusive audio
source for medical alarms or
applications critical for audio
performance.
IN OPERATION: No sound
Verify that your display unit has
speakers. Try loading a CD or
another audio program.
Check the volume setting on the
display and the computer. Disable
mute or increase the volume.
Check that the audio cable is
plugged into the OUTPUT on the
computer and INPUT on the display.
Plug headphones or speakers into
your computer to see if they
produce sound.
