ASUS MH Series Clinical Displays Listed as Class 1 Devices by US FDA

ASUS today announced that the latest ASUS MH series clinical displays have been listed as Class 1 Devices by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). These models include the 32-inch 8-megapixel MH3281A, the 27-inch 4-megapixel MH2741A, and the 23.8-inch MH2441A. All three displays are designed for radiology, as well as Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) use.

All three monitors meet the DICOM Part 14 Grayscale Standard Display Function (GSDF) AAPM TG270 standard, and each includes a scheduled calibration feature, dynamic brightness compensation, and dynamic DICOM compensation to ensure consistent and highly accurate medical images. The monitors feature an anti-glare, low-reflection (AGLR) coating on the panel, and have undergone stringent performance tests. They have been certified by TÜV Rheinland to ensure flicker-free performance and low blue light emissions. These clinical displays also meet ISO 13485 requirements, and are certified for use in clinics and large medical institutions.
In addition to FDA certification, ASUS is seeking CE marks indicating compliance with EU Medical Device Regulation guidelines as well as approval from the Taiwan Food and Drug Administration (TFDA) for its clinical displays. Aiming to provide a range of new solutions for European and Asia markets, ASUS is also actively pursuing partnerships with major medical institutions across the globe, seeking to better understand industry needs and to respond to ever-changing medical-device market.

That 31.5" OLED looks moderately impressive, for an 'industry' display.

Are there any other qualities wrapped up in this certification? Like extra-low EMI/extra-high EMC?

I guess the monitors are intended for operation rooms (among other uses), so they must allow specific disinfection and cleaning procedures to be performed on them.

Understandable feelings. I feel similar about Hewlett-Packard.
However, HPE(nterprise) products are something else entirely vs. their "consumer" offerings.

Unironically, I've immediately re-sold free/cheap-as-free HP-consumer laptops.
If I ever get my hands on an HPE unit though, it's being treated like an oldskool ThinkPad in the collection.

I have to wonder if Asus' "pro - industrial" products are (more/less) handled by an entirely diff. division (like HPE is)?

Did you read the article? These displays are meant to be used by medical staff, non medical staff get the same basic office displays you see in corporate IT. And no they are not the same displays with a different badge; it says right in the article what their certifications are and what metrics they have to meet. It has nothing to do with a wide color gamut its about being able to see fine detail.

Correct.
While those 'certification badges' might seem meaningless, there are standards attached to 'em.

As a techncian I had 0 experience w/ medical-rated 'kit'. I just don't feel like having to look any of that crap up. :p At least not until something like this lands in my lap out of eWaste or w/e. Then, I'll pedantically research wth the certs mean...
