PATIENT SIMULATOR, vital signs, Rigel
Definition
A battery-powered electronic test device designed to simulate and measure different vital signs of a patient to calibrate or test a various medical monitoring devices (e.g. anaesthesia monitor, ECG, pulse oximeter, dinamap).
It consists of a hand-held electronic box for setting and measuring parameters as well as a module per parameter which is connected to it. The parameters controlled with this device are ECG curve, heart rate, oxygen saturation, temperature, invasive and non-invasive blood pressure. This device must be used once a year on each of the monitoring machines to ensure quality control of the parameters displayed on the monitors. This patient simulator must be calibrated by the manufacturer once a year. It must be used by a technician or biomedical specialist trained in its use.
Specifications
The Rigel UNI-SiM Vital Signs Simulator is a battery powered 6 in 1 vital signs simulator able to undertake six synchronised vital signs parameters tests.
It enables quick, easy and accurate simulations of NiBP, SpO2, ECG, temperature, IBP and respiration functionality.All the values of these parameters can be changed according to the needs of the test, and the simulation of problem curves is possible in order to control alarms (arrhythmias, fibrillation...).
Manufacturer specific simulation curves can be created and uploaded to further aid the accuracy.
The device has a built-in SD card for easy transfer of test data.

Transport Dangerous Goods
Contains a NiMH battery (7.2 V 2400 mAh)
- Battery listed under UN3496.
- This battery benefits from the Special Provision A199 (Special provision) which allows it to be exempted from the constraints of IATA regulations.
- The device can therefore be sent in a standard package and without any special labelling.
- The presence of dangerous goods and the Special Provision A199 must still be mentioned in the waybill, and the battery's safety data sheet must be provided to confirm the information given.
Instructions for use
Maintenance
An annual calibration by the manufacturer is necessary to ensure that the simulation of the parameters is correct.
MSF requirements
Testing equipment for pulse oximeters, multi-parameter monitors, dinamap monitors, ECGs and any other medical equipment which require simulation of a patients circulatory, respiratory, or cardiac functions.
