NEC Display Solutions Receives FDA 510(k) Clearance on MD242C2 Medical Diagnostic Monitor

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- NEC Display Solutions of America, a leading provider of commercial LCD display and projector solutions, announced today the Food and Drug Administration 510(k) market clearance of the 24-inch MultiSync® MD242C2 referral-grade, widescreen display for diagnostic review applications in healthcare organizations.

The 2.3-megapixel, 24-inch display with IPS panel is designed to provide precise color reproduction and wide viewing angles. Factory-calibrated uniformity control provides accurate imaging across the screen.

In addition, the display includes out-of-the-box calibration to the DICOM grayscale display function for luminance. An integrated front sensor constantly monitors and adjusts brightness to maintain the factory DICOM GSDF calibration. The MD242C2 also includes a human presence sensor that can automatically dim the screen to conserve power and display life as well as a Quick QA function for checking DICOM conformance without a computer. The monitor’s stand has four-way ergonomic functionality, including height-adjust, swivel, tilt and pivot.

“The MD242C2 diagnostic display is the latest in the NEC MultiSync Medical Series to receive the necessary FDA market clearance designation,” said Art Marshall, Product Manager of Professional and Medical Displays at NEC Display Solutions. “Healthcare professionals, in turn, have a fully-featured review display that is able to keep pace with their rigorous work requirements.”

The MD242C2 display offers a 1000:1 contrast ratio, 1920 x 1200 native resolution, and 180 cd/m2 of calibrated brightness. Its 14-bit lookup tables provide 1,024 levels of gray out of a palette of 3,826. The display meets the needs of healthcare facilities requiring consistent and accurate medical imaging using Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS).

The display also offers DisplayPort, DVI-D, HDMI and VGA inputs, plus a built-in three-port USB Hub with DisplaySync Pro.
