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.

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-02201 Espoo, Finland (phone + 358 9 420 01;

fax + 358 9 420 0200).

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.

The supplier will make available on request, circuit diagrams, component part lists, etc.

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.
