RJC Enterprises, LLC Your OEM Supplier of Fiber Optic Sensors For Medicine

RJC Customers

The Fabry-Pérot Pressure Sensor has been manufactured and sold for industrial applications since 1988, and for medical applications since 1993. The first approved medical application was for measuring intracranial pressure (Integra NeuroCare) – over many days and weeks – in comatose patients, a demanding application where sensor/system stability and accuracy were very important.

There are a number of RJC customers actively working on specialty vascular and intracranial applications, and these new products will be described once they are approved and released to the clinical market.

Pressure sensor applications in the human body.


Arrow/Teleflex

In 2003, Arrow/Teleflex began using RJC sensors/systems in their Intra Aortic Balloon Pump (IABP) product line. In this product line, the RJC Model 60 Fiber Optic Pressure Sensor is installed in the distal tip of the Arrow® Intra Aortic Balloon Catheter to record aortic pressure waveforms.

To support the RJC Fiber Optic Pressure Sensor, the RJC Model 645 Fiber Optic Measurement Assembly is installed in the Arrow® WAVE® IABP and is a critical component in this pump. The recently released Arrow® AC3 Optimus™ IABP continues to use RJC pressure sensors/systems to provide intra-beat inflation timing accuracy across the broadest range of patient conditions — including those with severe arrhythmias1.

Endophys Holdings

In 2015, Endophys Holdings released their new Pressure Sensing Arterial Introducer Sheath. In this sheath, the RJC Model 62 Fiber Optic Pressure Sensor is mounted within the wall of the sheath to provide continuous measurements of arterial pressure during interventional procedures.

To support the RJC Fiber Optic Pressure Sensor, RJC developed a Fiber Optic Measurement Assembly which forms the basis for the Endophys Blood Pressure Monitor.

This is another application taking advantage of the many RJC pressure sensor design features. Further, use of this pressure sensing introducer sheath obviates the need for a second A-line stick prior to interventional procedures, with attendant time delays, clinical costs, and potential patient complications.
