Compact analyser
A project to create a new generation of advanced cardiac surgery robots is utilising one of Rigel Medical’s portable analysers to improve electrical safety testing during product development.
Robin Heart, instigated
by the Professor’s Zbigniew Religa Foundation of Cardiac Surgery Development in Poland, is Europe’s fi rst medical robot for cardiac surgery with semi-automatic movements, an advanced human-machine interface and a 3D virtual training system. Ensuring that all the electrical components of the robot system function properly and safely during the various stages of product development involves testing in accordance with IEC 60601-1, Medical electrical equipment, Part 1, General requirements for basic safety and essential performance. The components also have to be regularly tested to make sure they comply with IEC 62353, the standard for in-service and after repair testing of medical electronic devices. The 288 analyser features multi-lingual menu driven instructions, with download report, for simple operation and test control of all electrical safety tests in manual, semi automatic or fully automatic test modes. It is the industry’s smallest automatic safety analyser says the company. Kamil Rohr, engineer at the Foundation, said, “It provides a higher degree of measurement accuracy than other testers, while the advanced software is impressive, allowing us in particular to plot trends in measurement values.” Rigel Medical
