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.
