A Rigel Medical product story
Edited by the Electronicstalk editorial team Feb 5, 2008

Advanced electromedical test instrumentation package combines IEC62353 compliant tester with a complete range of Bluetooth-enabled test accessories.

The latest addition to the Rigel range of advanced electromedical test instrumentation is a special equipment package for EBME testing in line with the new IEC62353 standard for medical devices.

The Rigel 288 test kit links the new IEC62353 compliant tester with a complete range of Bluetooth-enabled test accessories designed to ensure that service engineers and biomedical engineering personnel can carry out recurrent and post repair testing on medical devices with maximum speed and efficiency.

The new handheld and lightweight Rigel 288 incorporates easy-to-follow menu-driven instructions for simple operation and test control in manual, semi automatic or fully automatic test modes.

As well as storing the results of electrical safety 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 highly portable and long life battery powered tester is equipped with Bluetooth technology for the wireless connection of barcode scanners, label printers and other accessories - allowing totally cable-free data transfer and safety labelling, without the cumbersome plugging and unplugging of leads and cords.

Complementing the advanced tester 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 print outs immediately after device testing.

For service firms, each label provides a cost effective means of providing enhanced customer service and is unique to the Rigel 288 safety analyser and the Elite printer has the additional ability to design and print customised logos or contact details on every label printed.

A special Bluetooth-enabled barcode scanner is also included in the new Rigel 288 test kit for fast and automatic identification of medical devices against stored test parameters in the Rigel 288.

As a result, this complete kit combines fast and effective testing of all electromedical devices with on the spot safety labelling and the subsequent downloading of test data for comprehensive record keeping without compromising the integrity of tests carried out.
