The new Uni-Therm from Rigel Medical accurately measures the performance of electrosurgical generators including high frequency leakage, high current, power distribution and patient return plate alarm testing.
Compliant with IEC 60601-2-2*, the high performance Uni-Therm is capable of verifying and calibrating all major electrosurgical generators whilst guiding the user through all test procedures automatically and most of all safe.
The new Uni-Therm from Rigel Medical measures the performance of electrosurgical generators.
A high power load bank enables performance testing up to 6A RMS with a duty cycle of up to 100% making the analyser an extremely versatile test instrument for calibrating and performance testing of conventional and high power electrosurgical generators.
The large array of internal resistors, ranging from 0-5100Ù in 5Ù steps provide not only the most accurate and detailed power curves, the Rigel Uni-Therm also advocates safe working practise by providing all necessary resistors within a single enclosure.
Remote electrode monitoring capability is carried out using a rotary encoder, which also controls the potentiometer, scaling up and down in manual or automatic mode to capture the alarm using the on-screen dedicated fast key. Data can be stored onboard for future traceability.
Product features include built-in memory, test automation, comprehensive data management facilities and a wide range of in-built resistors, while a large full colour screen displays easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions to ensure the correct connection to the device under test.
Bluetooth-enabled technology allows wireless connectivity to PCs and other equipment for the fast and convenient downloading of test data and the uploading of the electrosurgical device’s power curves and the manufacturer’s test specific programmes. Output waveforms can be examined through a built-in scope output which allows for easy confirmation of the desired waveform shape.
The Uni-Therm high performance electrosurgical analyser forms part of a comprehensive range of high performance specialist biomedical test equipment supplied by Rigel Medical.
* IEC 60601-2-2 specifies the requirements for the safety of high frequency surgical equipment and HF surgical accessories used in medical practice.
