Rigel Medical, which is part of the Seaward Group, has supplied medical test equipment to US-based Mercy Ships, a global charity that delivers healthcare services onboard a private hospital ship. 

The company supplied biomedical test equipment to aid the humanitarian efforts of the charity.

Rigel also provided the multi-flow infusion analyser, electrical safety analysers, patient simulators, an ESU and ventilation analysers.

A former passenger ship operated by Mercy Ships is now converted into a hospital with five fully-equipped ORs, a PACU/recovery room, an ICU, HDU and surgical wards.

Mercy Ships senior clinical engineer Tony Royston said: “Rigel Medical’s products are really important to us because they provide us with automated testing.

“The Multi-Flow Infusion Tester is proving to be an excellent device both for checking the performance of new devices during our commissioning, and of course for regular PM and post-repair testing of some slightly older units.
