Rigel is one of the longest established brand names in the industry with its origin dating back to the 1970’s. Designed by the Liverpool Hospital University, Rigel launched the world’s first IEC 601 electrical safety analyser, known as the Rigel 8001 Liverpool Safety Tester.

 

The Rigel 233 medical safety  analyser became the world's  leading safety analyser.

 

 

 

 

Following the introduction of the IEC 601 standard for the design and development of Medical Equipment, Rigel continued the development of innovative Biomedical Test Equipment with the launch of the Rigel 233 Electrical Medical Safety Analyser in the 1980’s. The Rigel 233 soon became the worlds leading safety analyser with satisfied customers covering most continents.

 

In the early 1990's the Rigel 244  electromedical safety tester was launched.

 

 

 

With the UK's introduction of the HEI 95, a dedicated guide line for the acceptance testing of medical devices, the Rigel 244 was launched in the early 1990's. Also known as the Rigel HEI 95 tester, it soon became synonymous with Fast and Efficient Safety Testing

 

 

 

The Rigel 255 electrical safety  analyser was the first medical  safety tester to offer traceability  along with automatic test sequences

 

  

 

The Rigel 255 was introduced during the mid 1990’s in answer to the increasing demand for Traceability and Data Storage. The Rigel 255 was the World’s First Electrical Medical Safety Analyser combining Automatic Test Sequences with Internal Memory, Graphics display, Integral QWERY keyboard and build-in printer.

 

 

 

 

The Rigel 266 Medical Safety  tester is the world's most  compact analyser to comply  with the IEC 60601-1 standard.
