Biomed technicians and engineers can quickly and easily verify the safe operation and functionality of defibrillators and AEDs (automated external defibrillator) using the compact, lightweight and portable Rigel Medical UNI-PULSE defibrillator analyser.

Featuring advanced measurement technology, the battery powered analyser offers both manual and automatic test programs for the safe testing of all mono-phasic, bi-phasic and pulsed waveform defibrillators and AEDs.

Bluetooth and USB has been incorporated for improved connectivity, enhanced memory capacity for the storage of results, defibrillator waveforms and test programmes and a clear, easy-to-read colour graphics display screen. An optional paddle adaptor box includes a version with variable loads from 25 – 200 Ohms for compliance with IEC 60601-2-4 requirements.

The colour LCD provides easy navigation around the functions and simulations including defibrillator waveform capture, accurate energy measurements, cardio synch times, peak voltage and current.

A 12-lead ECG simulation with substantial variation of atrial and ventricular arrhythmias and performance wave forms provides faster, easier and more accurate testing of defibrillators with built-in monitoring functions.

Automatic test programs for AEDs leads to fast and effective testing of AED response, interpretation and performance.

UNI-PULSE can also be used with Rigel Medical’s Med-eBase PC software to provide enhanced electronic recording and management of medical device safety testing programmes.

Rigel has become the UK and Ireland distributor for imtmedical in a move that will see it providing sales, technical and after sales support for the Switzerland-based company’s ventilator testers including the latest hand-held Citrex and test lung devices.

Imtmedical´s biomedical testing devices meet the requirements for the field measurement and calibration of ventilators and anaesthesia devices and are distinguished from other calibration tools by combining a simple, intuitive user interface with precise sensor technology.

Rigel already offers a range of performance analysers and vital signs simulators for UK and international markets so the inclusion of imtmedical`s testers will enable it to offer a comprehensive suite of industry-leading biomedical testing devices for hospital and healthcare facilities customers.

John Backes, Rigel Medical’s associate director, said imtmedical’s products will benefit from Rigel’s strong market identity and reputation, adding: “There are a lot of synergies between both companies, so including their products as an integral part of our offering makes sense”.

Rigel Medical, one the world’s leading suppliers of medical device electrical safety testers and analysers, has appointed Ian Fisher as its new Northern European sales manager.

Ian Fisher brings over 25 years’ experience in the medical device testing industry to the post, which will see him supporting Rigel distributors throughout Belgium, Holland, Scandinavia, German, Poland and Russia.

He will also be responsible for developing new business for Rigel’s advanced analysers, simulators, testers and accessories, in particular the new UNI-PULSE defibrillator and the forthcoming MULTI-FLO infusion pump testers.

Other responsibilities will include first line technical support and product training for customers who include health authorities, medical service companies, hospital medical physics departments and medical equipment manufacturers.

John Backes, Rigel Medical’s associate director, said: “With his experience and knowledge of the medical device testing sector, Ian will be a major asset as we look to sustain growth and increase market share in important European territories.

“It is also a particular exciting time for Ian to join us as we plan to bring our new analysers to market, which will enhance Rigel’s overall range offering.”
