Rigel 288

The Rigel 288 has become the most recognised electrical safety analyser on the market today. Its unique design, patented earthbond technology and use of internal memory make the Rigel 288 a truly valuable tool for every biomedical test professional.

Combining automatic and manual test sequences, data logging and direct printing facilities, the Rigel 288 is the most compact electrical safety analyser of its kind.

Versatility comes for conformance with several international standards such as IEC / 62353, 60601-1, NFPA-99 and many local variants.

Bluetooth connectivity to a range of accessories and Med-eBase, comprehensive database software, ensures fast and easy download of test results, managing your asset database, creation of test sequences and producing test certificates.
