Rigel 288 Electrical Safety Analyzer

Rigel 288 Electrical Safety Analyzer
The Rigel 288 is the FIRST universal truly hand-held medical electrical safety tester to combine the features of an automatic / manual tester with a data logging / asset management facility. A compact lightweight design and long life battery power reduces downtime between tests, making the instrument totally practical and highly portable for multi site use. In addition to IEC 60601-1 and AAMI / NFPA 99, the Rigel 288 tests to the new standard for in-service and after repair testing of medical electronic devices, currently drafted in as the IEC 62353. The Rigel 288’s large internal memory facilitates the storage of test resultsfor safety audit and traceability purposes. Comprehensive database software is available to ensure fast and easy download of test results,managing your asset database, creation of test sequences, scheduling of reventative Product Maintenance and producing test certificates. Wireless connection means that stored data can be transferred immediately and directly from the tester to PC-based record keeping systems at the touch of a button.  

Rigel 288 comes as standard including:

  • Calibration Certificate
  • Carrying Case
  • Earth Bond Test Probe with Clip
  • Earth Bond Clip Lead
  • Patient Applied part module
  • 10 Applied part adaptors
  • Detachable 2 meter main cable
  • Blue Tooth USB mains dongle
