The Most Complete Evaluation and Control Portable Tool
The Rigel 355 is a unique hand-held ventilator tester for both adult and paediatric ventilators. The Rigel 355 offers highly accurate measurements of: Respiration Frequency, Tidal volume, Maximum Pressure, Minimum Pressure, Ventilation, Expiratory average flow, Inspiratory average flow and Ratio I /E.
The Rigel 355 has a build-in dynamic memory to store performance graphs for download to your PC. When used with the included RESPI software, the Rigel 355 offers a full stand-alone ventilator test system which provides real time graphs on your PC.
The RESPI software provides additional parameters such as: Maximum Expiratory Flow, Tidal Volume of Inspiratory and Expiratory, Inspiratory Average Pressure, PEEP, Index of Internal and External Resistance, Resistance and Compliance of the Passive lung, Inspiratory and Expiratory Time.
