Rigel Medical launches new lightweight defibrillator tester

Bluetooth and USB has been incorporated for improved connectivity, enhanced memory capacity for the storage of results, defibrillator waveforms and test programmes and a clear, easy-to-read colour graphics display screen. An optional paddle adaptor box includes a version with variable loads from 25 – 200 Ohms for compliance with IEC 60601-2-4 requirements.

The colour LCD provides easy navigation around the functions and simulations including defibrillator waveform capture, accurate energy measurements, cardio synch times, peak voltage and current.

A 12-lead ECG simulation with substantial variation of atrial and ventricular arrhythmias and performance wave forms provides faster, easier and more accurate testing of defibrillators with built-in monitoring functions.

Automatic test programs for AED’s (Automatic External Defibrillator) leads to fast and effective testing of AED response, interpretation and performance.

UNI-PULSE can also be used with Rigel Medical’s Med-eBase PC software to provide enhanced electronic recording and management of medical device safety testing programmes.

The new instrument is part of a range of advanced analysers, simulators, testers and accessories from Rigel Medical, part of the Seaward Group, Bracken Hill, South West Industrial Estate, Peterlee, County Durham, SR8 2SW, UK.
