Biomed field service kit is expo highlight
Rigel Medical
Med-Ekit biomed field service kit
Rigel Medical is to showcase its trolley case-based biomed field service kit - the Med-Ekit - at AAMI Expo on 6-8 June 2009 at the Baltimore Convention Center, MD.
The Med-Ekit is used for the rapid testing of electrical safety and operation of medical devices and equipment used in hospitals, operating theatres and other facilities.
The biomed kit features handheld analysers for electrical safety (Rigel 288), NIBP (Rigel BP-SIM) and SP02 (Rigel OXY-SIM), a battery operated patient simulator, ventilator tester, printer and barcode scanner and asset-management software housed within a lightweight, impact and water-resistant wheeled Pelican trolley case.
Foam inserts safely hold the instrumentation in place and provide protection during transportation, while the kit can be further customised to meet individual specifications with the inclusion of a laptop, multimeter, temperature meter, and power analyser.
The kit is suitable for field service engineers requiring a flexible and accurate solution for testing medical devices for both functionality and electrical safety to manufacturer's specification or to a number of internationally accepted standards and guidelines such as: IEC 62353, IEC/EN60601-1, VDE 0751-1, AS/NZS 3551, AAMI, NFPA-99, and MDA DB 9801-2006.
Traceability is improved with the Rigel 288 as information can be downloaded into Med-Ebase asset management software.
This enables the user to store and manage test results, e-mail html test certificates to clients and schedule new work orders, which can then be fully uploaded into the Rigel 288's large onboard memory.
Also on display at AAMI will be the Rigel 377 high-performance electrosurgical analyser, used to improve the speed and ease of electrical safety testing of electrosurgical devices.
The 377 features a range of easy-to-use custom settings, including a variety of test sequences and power distribution curves.
Compliant with IEC 60601-2-2, it is capable of accurately checking the correct and safe performance of electrosurgical devices during routine, type and production line testing.
An array of internal resistors, ranging from 10-5100ohm in 10ohm steps, provides accurate and detailed power curves.
