MEDICAL DISPLAY SOLUTIONS
ENGINEERED TO SPECIFICATION.

When your medical device requires a display at dimensions no standard manufacturer produces — whether for a new design or to replace a discontinued panel in an FDA-cleared device — we engineer the exact active area your application requires — with no minimum order, engineer-direct, and a dimensional inspection report and traceable part labels on every unit. From single first-article units through full production volumes — prototype, low-volume, high-volume, and discontinued-panel replacement programs.

Why Medical Devices Need Custom Display Solutions

Medical device design is constrained by ergonomics, clinical workflow, and the physical envelope of the device itself. The display active area must fit within the device housing, provide the resolution required for clinical visualization, and interface with the driver electronics in the device design. Standard commercial LCD sizes — driven by consumer electronics and IT markets — rarely align with medical device requirements.

The result is that medical device engineers frequently specify displays that don't exist as catalog products, or specify commercial panels that later go end-of-life and threaten device availability without a dimensional-equivalent replacement. Tannas Display Solutions addresses both scenarios — new custom dimensions for new device designs, and exact-match replacements for devices facing display obsolescence.

US manufacturing is available for programs that require it, with country of origin documented per order, with lot traceability and inspection records you can use in your own quality and documentation process.

// Process Originator

Lawrence E. Tannas Jr. developed the LCD resizing process. TDS is his family’s company — built on that same technical foundation. That depth of process knowledge does not transfer through a datasheet.

// Applications

Medical Display Applications

Surgical Instruments

Compact displays for robotic surgical systems, endoscopic visualization, and minimally invasive procedure instruments requiring custom form factors.

Patient Monitoring

Bedside monitor and portable patient monitor displays at custom active areas optimized for clinical readability and device ergonomics.

Diagnostic Imaging

Display panels for portable ultrasound, X-ray viewer, and point-of-care diagnostic devices requiring non-standard active area dimensions.

Infusion & Therapy Systems

Control panel displays for infusion pumps, ventilators, and therapeutic device interfaces at compact custom dimensions.

EOL Replacement

Exact-match replacement for FDA-cleared devices where the original display has been discontinued — same active area, no device redesign.

Prototype & Clinical Trial

Single-unit and low-volume production for device prototyping, pre-clinical testing, and clinical trial configurations.

// Documentation

Supporting Medical Device Documentation

Dimensional Inspection Reports

Formal dimensional inspection confirming active area, pixel pitch, and optical stack specifications for device technical files.

Lot Traceability

Production lot records and traceable part identification (Data Matrix labels) provided with every order for your traceability process.

First Article Inspection

Single-unit first article with dimensional and functional inspection report prior to production quantity commitment.

No Cost, No Commitment

Country of origin documentation available on request for programs that require domestic-manufacturing evidence. Produced in Santa Cruz, CA.

// Why TDS

Why Medical Engineers Specify TDS

No Redesign Required

Your display is produced at the exact active area your device enclosure was designed for. No mechanical redesign and no new tooling — the physical interface is unchanged.

Documentation-Ready

A dimensional inspection report and traceable part labels are included with every order; additional process documentation available on request. Provided to support your documentation process.

Engineer-Direct

You speak with the engineering team directly — not a sales layer or distributor. Feasibility review within one business day at no cost and no commitment.

No Minimum Order

First article, low-rate initial production, or full production quantities. No minimum order quantity at any program phase.

✓ No MOQ — 1 unit to full production ✓ Engineering review within 1 business day ✓ Engineer-direct — no distributor markup

// Common Questions

Medical Display FAQs

How do I get a custom LCD panel at exact dimensions for a medical device design?

Submit your required active area in millimeters and device application. Tannas Display Solutions physically resizes a TFT donor panel to your specified dimensions and delivers a production-qualified module. Documentation including dimensional inspection reports and lot traceability is available to support device technical files. No minimum order quantity. Lead time is 6–8 weeks ARO.

What documentation is available for custom LCD panels used in FDA-cleared medical devices?

Every order includes a dimensional inspection report confirming active area, pixel pitch, and optical stack specifications, plus traceable part labels (Data Matrix) and production lot records for your own traceability and documentation process. First-article inspection reports and country-of-origin documentation are available on request. US manufacturing is available for programs that require it.

Can I replace a discontinued display in an FDA-cleared device at original dimensions?

Yes. When a display used in an FDA-cleared device goes end-of-life, Tannas Display Solutions produces a replacement at the exact original active area dimensions — no device enclosure modification required. The dimensional match supports the argument that the replacement does not constitute a significant change to the device under 21 CFR 807.87.
