Software keeps track of medical test records
Software works with Rigel 288 advanced tester used to verify the status of electrical medical equipment in line with IEC60601-1 and the new IEC62353 in-service safety testing standard.
Available as part of a special Rigel 288 test kit is the new battery operated Test 'n Tag Elite printer which provides an easy way to generate tamper proof barcode pass/fail labels or result printouts.
The Elite printer also has the additional ability to design and print customised logos or contact details on every label printed.
This not only provides a clear indication of the electrical safety of the medical equipment, but also provides a simple way of providing contact details in the event of unexpected service requirements.
For service firms, each label provides a cost effective means of providing enhanced customer service and is unique to the Rigel 288 safety analyser.
The Elite can also be used with thermal paper for on the spot printing of test results using the industry standard 50mm wide paper.
For traceability and safety audit purposes, wireless connection also means that data from the Rigel 288's large internal memory can be transferred immediately and directly from the tester to PC-based record keeping systems at the touch of a button.
As well as storing the results of electrical tests, the instrument also has the ability to record user defined inspections and measurements from specialist electromedical equipment such as SpO2, NIBP, ECG and other patient devices.
The Rigel 288 incorporates easy to follow menu driven instructions for simple operation and test control of all IEC62353 required electrical safety tests in manual, semi-automatic or fully automatic test modes.
