Rigel Medical 24 Month Warranty Statement
Rigel Medical provides a standard 12-month manufacturer’s warranty against

breakdown during normal use. This warranty can be upgraded to a 24-month
warranty (terms and conditions apply*). Problems caused through misuse,
damage, fair wear & tear, consumables and accessories are excluded from
standard warranty. Such components found to be being used in excess of their
manufacturer’s operating recommendations are also excluded. Shipping to an
authorised service centre is the responsibility of the sender.
*Terms and Conditions of 24 Month Warranty
The Rigel product must be registered with Rigel Medical within 30 days of
purchase to be eligible for the extended 24-month warranty. Instruments must be
returned to an authorised service centre complete with proof of purchase within
13 months of purchase for calibration at the current rate. Any items returned for
calibration outside of the 13 month period stated above may not be eligible for
the second 12 month section of warranty. The second 12 month section of the
warranty begins at the expiry of the initial 12 month period, not when the unit is
calibrated.
Details correct at time of going to print. The manufacturer retains the right to
make amendments to the above terms and conditions without prior notice.
Calibration Statement
The Rigel Uni-Pulse Defibrillator Analyser is fully calibrated and found to be

within the specified performance and accuracy at the time of production. The
Seaward Group provides its products through a variety of channels; therefore it
may be possible that the calibration date on the provided certificate may not
represent the actual date of first use.
Experience has indicated that the calibration of this instrument in not effected by
storage prior to receipt by the user. We therefore recommend that the
recalibration period be based on a 12 month interval from the first date the unit is
placed in to service.
