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

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.
