Leading Manufacturer Announces Its First Purpose-Built Medical Monitor

A leading computer hardware manufacturer is showcasing its first monitor that was purpose-built for the healthcare environment, at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA 2015).

The monitor is calibrated to the part 14 standard grayscale Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) standard for accurate and consistent image display, is fully cleanable and consistent with infection reduction initiatives, and is sealed with an antireflective edge-to-edge front-covered glass.

The Dell (Round Rock, TX, USA) MR2416 Medical Review 24 Monitor has a fully sealed IP-32 rated design, a light-colored exterior, and can withstand cleaning agents of up to 75% concentrated ethyl alcohol. The monitor features intelligent backlight stabilization control, 24 inches of diagonal viewing area and a resolution of 1920 x 1200 with an aspect ratio of 16:10, making it compatible with most image-enabled Electronic Medical or Healthcare Record (EMR/ EHR) applications.

The monitor can be tilted between landscape and portrait orientations. The height, pivot, tilt, or swivel of the monitor can be adjusted up to 60 degrees left and right with consistent 178 x 178-degree viewability from almost any angle. The monitor specifications meet the IEC 60601-1 standard for medical design and safety. The monitor has an active screw-on cable clip within the housing, and mechanical pop-up power and OSD buttons on its side. Downtime can be minimized using the manufacturer’s three-year Limited Hardware Warranty and Advanced Exchange Service. The monitor is not designed or intended for use in primary medical image interpretation or active patient monitoring.

Bert Park, vice president and GM, Dell Global Software and Peripherals, said, “As the number-one monitor brand in the world, we want to bring our innovation and expertise in display technology to the healthcare field with a selection of medical-grade Dell monitors. The MR2416 is the first in a line of products we will be introducing to enable healthcare customers to improve their efficiency and service quality.
