If your organization is sourcing interconnects for electrophysiology equipment, you’ve come to the right place. Amphenol Alden Products has decades of experience supporting electrophysiology equipment OEMs. As a leading provider of medical cable assemblies and interconnect solutions, we are the preferred choice for entities that work with critical care devices.
What Is Electrophysiology?
Electrophysiology, as related to medical devices, is a field focused on measuring and analyzing the flow of electricity through tissue. How the flow of electricity is measured, and what it tells medical professionals, varies based upon which field of EP is under consideration; however, all rely on reliable measurement and transmission, and sometimes delivery, of electrical impulses.
How Amphenol Supports Those in the EP Industry
While there are many different specialties within the Medical field of EP, arguably the two most common fall under monikers of ‘patient monitoring’ (i.e. non-invasive ECG and EEG devices) and ‘cardiac’ (minimally invasive imaging, diagnosis, and treatment of cardiac arrhythmias) devices. Consider the level of detail required when treating patients with ventricular arrhythmia. Your team needs a medical connector that is lightweight and ergonomic (for improved user comfort) while maintaining a tight, secure mechanical connection while utilizing electrical contacts with ‘low-resistance’ (thus ensuring reliable transmission of critical electrical impulses). Leveraging Amphenol’s proven technology, our medical connectors remain secure with our popular auto-coupling latch mechanism.
Furthermore, within the realm of ‘cardiac’ EP, more electrodes (and corresponding electrical contacts) means more detailed imaging and better diagnosis and treatment. Our Medi|stac connectors were designed to support high-density circuits required for detailed EP imaging while being straightforward to use and easy to clean and sterilize. Thanks to the audible, tactile, and visual feedback which confirms placement each time, our Pulse-Lok products help caregivers maintain focus on where it needs to be – the patient. And the fact that our medical devices are made with ergonomics in mind, they are convenient for staff to use when connecting and disconnecting devices, a frequent task that is made easier thanks to color-coding and multiple keying options.
It is for these reasons that clinical environments, doctor’s offices, and hospitals (to name a few) have come to rely on Amphenol’s devices.
Importance of the Right Equipment
When off-the-shelf interconnect solutions don’t work for your organization’s applications, you’ll be glad to know that Amphenol Alden Products is prepared to devise custom cable assemblies and connectors upon request. We will help you evaluate your requirements, from the latest high-voltage connector needed for IRE applications to cables and connectors for low-voltage signal data.
Our medical cable connector designers and developers follow industry best practices. We regularly consult with organizations large and small to ensure we deliver the right device for customers, meeting their rigid standards for precision and ease of use.
