Planar VS15XAD VitalScreen Medical Grade Monitor Family The Planar VS15XAD VitalScreen Medical Grade Monitor family is a set of high-resolution color monitors designed to be versatile and easy to use. These monitors can accept either analog or digital video input and display most video standards from 640 x 480 (Video Graphics Array, or VGA, standard) to 1024 x 768 (Extended Graphics Array, or XGA, standard).
Cleaning Instructions The VS15XAD VitalScreen Medical Grade Monitor will continue to operate normally while being cleaned in a fashion normal for a hospital environment. That includes cleaning with a damp (wrung out), mild soapy cloth. Drip protection is provided in accordance with IPX1 rating defined in the IEC/EN60529 standard. The VS15XAD VitalScreen Medical Grade Monitor family withstands nonabrasive cloths and cleaning solutions used in hospitals for like equipment.
• Use only the power adapter that has been tested and approved for use with this monitor product. See “Ordering Information” on page 22 for part numbers. Caution: The power adapter must be plugged into a GROUNDED power outlet. • To clean the power adapter, use a cloth dampened with liquid cleaner on the outside of the enclosure and cable only. Do not immerse the product in liquid, or a safety hazard could arise during use. • Do not use the power adapter near flammable anesthetics.
The applicable safety standards for an MDD Class I display are IEC/EN 606011: 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 is made available to interested parties.

Product Contents and Installation Before unpacking the monitor, prepare a suitable workspace. You need a stable and level surface near a grounded wall outlet in an area that is relatively free of glare from sunlight or other sources of bright light. The monitor is cooled by natural convection (it lacks a fan). For best performance, do not block the cooling vents. While unpacking the monitor, inspect it and other package contents for shipping damage that could cause a fire or shock hazard.
