EQ2 and Rigel Medical Announce the Release of an Automated CMMS – RIGEL 288 Interface

EQ2 and Rigel today announced the release of the EQ2 Rigel SA Interface. This interface combines the excellent medical device testing automation the Rigel 288 is famous for with the unsurpassed clinical equipment management system features of EQ2’s HEMS Enterprise.

This EQ2 and Rigel development effort focused on ensuring that clinical equipment professionals worldwide are able to fully realize their investments in medical device test automation. The Rigel 288 delivers the automation of the medical device test process while HEMS Enterprise provides a direct link to the valuable medical device inventory, test library and performance history.

With the release of the EQ2 Rigel SA Interface, a technician accurately closes out hundreds of medical device safety records with a couple of clicks of the mouse.
