Multichannel Configuration Doubles Infusion Pump Testing

The Multi-Flo is available in single- or multi-channel configuration, allowing simultaneous testing across a range of 10 μL to 1,500 mL per hour. With a sampling rate of 1Hz, the Multi-Flo can accurately detail any variations in flow or pressure, providing a real-time representation of the quality of infusion.

The Multi-Flo also offers faster set-up times and improved data recording, allowing users to cut testing times by up to 50%, providing significant annual cost savings. The easy-to-use, stand-alone analyzer enables manufacturer specific test routines to be programmed and automatically executed, with readings stored automatically in a large internal memory, removing the need for manual recording of data, thus reducing duplication of work and cutting the risk of manual input data errors.

A remote control interface is available via proprietary test solution software (Med-eBase), allowing complete control of the device’s features using a single USB connection per Multi-Flo, increasing the test capacity in high volume environments. Med-eBase software also provides an easy way to create default templates, producing real time and high resolution graphs (including trumpet curves). Due to its database structure, the software builds a complete history of each asset, including functional and electrical safety test results along with user definable visual inspections.

The Multi-Flo also provides accurate back pressure simulations, occlusion alarm monitoring, and bolus (PCA) measurements. A large color screen presents the data in both numerical and graphical format, giving the user the flexibility to monitor acquired volume, flow delivery profiles, pressure changes, and bolus volumes. A dedicated data focus area allows clear viewing of target data from distances exceeding 5 meters, offering flexibility during testing both in the field and in a workshop environment. Customized PDF test certificates can also be included to form a corporate identity on each individual certificate.

“Rigel supplies us with a range of high performance, high quality instruments, which provide the engineers with convenient, versatile, and accurate on-site testing solutions,” said Ian Roberts, managing director of BCAS Biomed (High Wycombe, United Kingdom), a leading independent medical device sales and service company. “Our engineers appreciate the fact that they are compact enough to carry from site-to-site, offering full automation of test procedures and leading to more efficient testing schedules and, ultimately, better standards of customer service and care.”
