In addition to dialysis machines, Nikkiso leads the way in the manufacture and supply of blood tubing sets, dialysate powder for haemodialysis treatment and blood glucose controller.
This has led to improvements in the speed and ease of testing and ensures machines are correctly maintained and checked for electrical safety and performance accuracy. Rigel’s unique earthbond test circuit ensures accurate measurements at low currents which have resulted in a drastic reduction in size and weight of the Rigel 288. The portability of the 288 is a benefit to Nikkiso’s team of over 100 technicians who are able to take advantage of a single solution to quickly and easily complete both earth bond and leakage testing on the dialysis machines. The move by Nikkiso Co Ltd, which has more than a 50% share of the Japanese dialysis machine market, has led to improvements in testing procedures as part of an in-service annual safety check programme for its machines installed at hospitals and healthcare facilities throughout the country.
The leading manufacturer of dialysis machines and related devices in Japan has specified the Rigel Medical 288 automated safety analyser to improve biomed electrical safety testing.
