The new Rigel UNI-SiM is truly unique, incorporating 6 vital signs into one handheld simulator. Battery-operated, the UNI-SiM can simulate NiBP, SpO2, ECG wave forms, temperature, respiration and invasive blood pressure simultaneously.
The UNI-SiM is the only simulator capable of undertaking six synchronised vital signs parameters tests, enabling medical device engineers to quickly, easily and accurately perform NiBP, SpO2, ECG, temperature, IBP and respiration functionality tests simultaneously using a single portable instrument.
The battery powered vital signs simulator reduces the time taken to test the correct performance of a wide range of medical devices and equipment used in hospitals, operating theatres and other facilities.
It synchronises the full functionality of Rigel's UNI-SiM and SP-SiM as well as a comprehensive patient simulator (ECG, invasive blood pressure, respiration and temperature) to cut simulation times and deliver cost-saving benefits - engineers no longer need to use a variety of different instruments for testing these functions separately.
Whilst the UNI-SiM incorporates a range of custom settings that include a variety of paediatric and adult NIBP pressures, pulse volume adjustments, heart rate and manufacturer-specific O-curves, the UNI-SiM is fully customisable to meet specific performance test conditions.
The UNI-SiM also utilises new and advanced technologies to maximise the accuracy of each simulation. For example, both electronic and optical SpO2 simulation methods are combined into a single test setup, and manufacturer specific simulation curves are included during NIBP simulation, reducing uncertainties thus improving the test time. Featuring Bluetooth connectivity, simulation test results can be stored within the instrument and printed wirelessly to the rugged battery operated Elite Test and Tag printer.
