A new approach to medical device testing in hospitals is available following the launch of an advanced interface developed by Rigel Medical and EQ2.

The move sees the Rigel Medical 288 safety analyser integrated with EQ2’s clinical equipment management system HEMS to provide a fully automated, highly accurate and portable system for capturing and documenting medical device safety records.

A new module has been incorporated into EQ2’s HEMS Enterprise software to make it fully compatible with the automated Rigel analyser.

The EQ2 Rigel SA Interface enables the biomed engineer to harness the 288’s full capabilities to capture valuable information at the point of testing in a hospital or healthcare centre before sending the data automatically to the HEMS system to complete safety checks and link to the medical device’s inventory, test library and performance history. www.rigelmedical.com
