Medical Displays

Medical displays, whether for surgical use, diagnostic use, etc., require the utmost in quality. When it comes to high resolution, wide viewing angles, correct colours or life span, most monitors don’t cut it for the medical industry. Improper monitors can even cause migraines due to a slight jitter. That is why after years of trial and error, we distribute monitors from Eizo in order to cope with the needs of the medical OEM. Eizo displays are DICOM Part 14 compliant and further have a quality that is unmatched. From 19” grayscale diagnostic monitors to 60” 8.29 megapixel surgical displays, Eizo monitors are equipped to handle whatever your need.

Medical Systems

There are 2 main things needed for a medical system. First, you’ll either be building the system completely custom, or from a barebones system. This means that you’ll need to have arrangements to get the computers assembled in a location with proper ESD protection. This isn’t terribly difficult to find, as any good distributor who serves the OEM market should have this service available.

The second thing to watch out for is the stringent medical certifications. In order to keep the certifications on your medical equipment you need to ensure that all of the components remain the same throughout production. This requirement actually goes so far as to include each individual chip on the motherboard. So a total BOM freeze is required. This means that the manufacturers of all of the components of the machine need to guarantee that none of the components will change. This can be done. But if there is one or more parts that won’t offer a BOM freeze then the only option is to buy a large stock of machines right off the bat, or you can place a blanket order with your distributor for a year and they will release product to you throughout the course of a year. This way you can also get better pricing for smaller shipments. A good distributor will usually work with you on this.
