The implementation of rapid and accurate medical device and laboratory equipment testing is provided by Rigel Medical’s newly upgraded SafeTest handheld safety analyser.
Designed for high performance and accurate electrical testing to reduce the risk of electrical device fault, the improved SafeTest 60+ is a compact, rugged and reliable safety analyser that is designed to accommodate the demands of high-volume testing regimes.
Offering an easy-to-use colour coded user interface, push button operation and fast step selection of test routines, and available in a wide range of power configurations to suit local and international markets, the tester delivers point-to-point insulation resistance testing from 100K – 100MΩ with added patient applied parts testing.
Featuring an accessible and clear user interface (UI), which allows the operator to select the required tests quickly with a single key, the high-performance instrument includes an extensive selection of safety tests for hospital and medical equipment.
The SafeTest 60+ provides basic testing of medical equipment with applied parts, both patient current leakage and insulation measurement to ensure electrical safety of medical beds and chairs, operating tables, hoists, infusion pumps, CPAPs (continuous positive airway pressure), centrifuges and other similar equipment that do not require patient lead testing.
As such, the SafeTest 60+ is suitable for electrical testing to ensure compliance with a range of international safety standards including leakage testing to AAMI ES 60601, NFPA-99, IEC 62353 and IEC 61010. Key features for dynamic testing include:
- Active pass/fail thresholds during measurement;
- Patient applied parts testing;
- Manual control of fault conditions and tests;
- Accurate high current, low energy earth bond testing;
- Automatic warning of secondary earth/ground paths; and
- Point to point insulation testing
To meet the needs of some specific types of equipment, the unit also has the capability to carry out accurate ground bond testing to NFPA-99, IEC 62353 and IEC 61010 using Rigel’s high current, low energy test technology. In all cases, full manual control means only those specific tests that are required need to be carried out, with selected single fault conditions ensuring that testing is carried out quickly and efficiently – without any compromise in accuracy or integrity of testing.
As part of the new streamlined approach to carrying out electrical safety tests, an automatic warning of secondary ground paths ensures that users are alerted when invalid results occur, eliminating time consuming re-tests and ensuring correct and valid results are provided first time.
The SafeTest 60+ analyzer is the latest addition to the comprehensive range of high-performance biomedical test equipment from Rigel Medical. More at https://www.rigelmedical.com/
