LG Launches New 4K Surgical Monitor
- LG’s latest 31.5-inch 4K surgical monitor, the 32HS710S, features intelligent functions and a durable design to support medical professionals in operating rooms.
LG has introduced its newest 31.5-inch 4K resolution surgical monitor, the 32HS710S. The device was specifically developed to streamline surgical workflows, blending an incredibly sharp 3840 x 2160 pixel resolution with smart features that support user convenience and operational efficiency. The device has also received the FDA 510(k) clearance, allowing it to be sold in the United States.
Key Features and Functionality
The 32HS710S supports healthcare professionals with numerous features designed to simplify their daily tasks. Users can independently adjust picture modes for each input source, allowing them to optimize the display for multiple medical devices. Dedicated hotkeys enable quick activation of desired display modes and shared-screen (Picture-by-Picture) viewing of content from multiple sources with a single press.
The monitor’s 4K IPS display delivers clear, detailed images and uniform color presentation across wide viewing angles. Its typical brightness is 800 cd/m², and it covers approximately 95% of the DCI-P3 color space. Furthermore, it complies with the DICOM standard for storing, managing, and transmitting medical images, making it an ideal choice for displaying images from various medical imaging devices.
Durable and Reliable Design
With the specialized demands of operating rooms in mind, LG’s new monitor is built with a durable, optically bonded protective glass. This anti-glare glass is also treated with an anti-fingerprint and anti-smudge coating. The front panel boasts an IP45 rating, while the rear panel has an IP32 rating, and the housing has IK06 impact resistance. Weighing around 9.2 kilograms, the monitor can be mounted on various surgical monitor stands.
Continuous operation is ensured by a Failover Input Switch, which automatically switches to a backup source in case of signal loss. This critical function is complemented by split-screen display capabilities, allowing up to four visual information sources to be monitored simultaneously via Picture-by-Picture (PBP) and Picture-in-Picture (PIP) modes. The displayed image can be easily mirrored or rotated, and the Clone Screen output provides support during training and collaboration.
Medical monitors, unlike standard consumer displays, require specific certifications to ensure they meet stringent safety, performance, and reliability standards for clinical use. The FDA 510(k) clearance mentioned in the press release is a premarket submission to the FDA demonstrating that the device is at least as safe and effective as a legally marketed device (a “predicate” device). This approval is crucial for medical technology companies seeking to enter the U.S. market.
