    HOW IT WORKS

    The electrical safety testing process

    1

    Prepare the device under test (DUT)

    Power off and visually inspect the medical device. Check for physical damage, frayed cables or loose fittings before connecting to the analyser.

    2

    Connect the analyser

    Plug the DUT into the analyser’s mains outlet. Attach patient connection leads as required. The body model circuits simulate human impedance as specified in the standard.

    3

    Select and run the test sequence

    Choose the applicable standard (IEC 62353 or 60601-1) on the analyser. It will automatically run earth bond, insulation resistance, and leakage current measurements in sequence.

    4

    Review pass / fail results

    The analyser displays results against the standard’s limits in real time. A clear pass/fail indication is shown for each measurement parameter.

    5

    Export and label

    Transfer results to the Rigel PC software via USB or barcode. Print a Test n Tag label directly from the analyser to confirm the device has been tested and the next due date.

    STANDARDS EXPLAINED

    Which standard applies to you?

    IEC 62353

    For routine in-service and post-repair testing of medical electrical equipment. Applies to biomedical engineers and service technicians performing periodic safety checks.

    IEC 60601-1

    Safety requirements for medical electrical equipment at the point of manufacture. Also widely used as the reference standard for acceptance testing of new equipment in hospitals.

    NFPA-99 (USA)

    US healthcare facility standard for electrical safety and medical gas systems. Required by the Joint Commission for accredited US hospitals. Covered by the SafeTest 50.

    FAQ

    Frequently asked questions

    Testing verifies that medical electrical equipment is safe from electric shock hazards for patients and clinical staff. It measures earth bond continuity, insulation resistance, and leakage currents against the limits defined in the applicable standard.

    IEC 62353 recommends testing after any repair and at regular scheduled intervals — typically every 12 months, though the interval may vary based on device risk class and local hospital policy.

    Use IEC 62353 if you are performing routine in-service or post-repair checks on equipment already in use. Use IEC 60601-1 if you are a manufacturer or carrying out acceptance testing on new devices. The Rigel 288+ covers both.

    Yes — all Rigel analysers are handheld and battery-powered, designed for use at the bedside or in any clinical environment without needing a fixed workbench setup.

    Results are stored on the analyser and transferred to the Rigel PC software via USB. From there you can generate compliance reports, filter by asset, and export to PDF or CSV for audit purposes.
