NEC Display Solutions receives FDA 510(k) clearance on MD210C3 diagnostic review monitor

CHICAGO – January 20, 2015 – NEC Display Solutions of America, a leading provider of commercial LCD display and projector solutions, announced today Food and Drug Administration 510(K) market clearance of the MultiSync® MD210C3 LCD, a cost-effective display with LED backlighting for diagnostic applications in healthcare organizations.

The 3-megapixel, 21.3-inch MD210C3 is an affordable diagnostic monitor designed to meet the needs of healthcare facilities using Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) in diagnostic imaging.

Calibrated at the factory to the DICOM grayscale function for luminance, the MD210C3 includes a front sensor to maintain calibrated brightness, elevating the level of trust that medical imaging personnel have in the display’s performance. A human sensor reduces LCD brightness when the user leaves monitor, saving power and extending the life of the display. In addition, all digital-connectors, including DisplayPort and a two-port USB hub, enable advanced connectivity for any type of workstation.

“The MD210C3 display is the latest in a line of NEC MultiSync Medical Series diagnostic displays to receive FDA 510(K) market clearance for radiology,” said Art Marshall, Product Manager for Professional Desktop and Medical Displays at NEC Display Solutions. “Healthcare practitioners will enjoy its 3-megapixel color imaging and high-quality panel in their work environments.”

The MultiSync MD210C3 display is available at a minimum advertised price of $4,299 and ships with a five-year limited parts and labor warranty, including Advanced Overnight Exchange, one of the best warranties in the industry.
