The medical robot R-One

Innovation is at the heart of Robocath’s strategy, making R-One™ a unique solution, protected by over 60 international patents.

Radioscopy Pedal

Radioscopy Pedal can be placed at the base of the command unit.

Constrast Command

The contrast command can easily be positioned at the command unit.

Guidewire joystick (1) and stent-balloon joystick (2) and Screen (3)

(1) This joystick enables guidewire translation, rotation and both simultaneously. Two speeds are available. (2) This joystick enables translation of the balloon/stent catheter. Two speeds are available. (3) This screen gives all commissioning instructions.

Fixing Support

Emergency Stop Button

To come back at any time in manual procedure.

Guidewire Clamp Button

This function secures the guidewire position during the procedure and enable to maintain the guidewire always in place.

Cassette Sterile clipped system for each procedure (disposable).

Release arm braking

This function allows robotic arm movements and enable the cardiologist to place the robot in the perfect position before the procedure.

Guidewire (1) & stent/ballon (2) paths

(1) This path is dedicated to the guidewire. It allows translation and rotation movements simultaneously and enable to always keep in place the guidewire. It is compatible with market leading guidewires. (2) This path is dedicated to the stent/balloon catheter. It allows translation movements. It is compatible with market leading stent/balloon catheters.

Stand-by path (3)

(3) This function enables to put guidewires and stent/balloon catheters on hold.

How does it work?

R-One™ robotic assistance platform was designed using a global approach to the needs of interventional cardiology. It integrates flawlessly with the interventional protocol. R-One™ is designed to provide physicians with reliable, precise assistance during procedures and enhance movements creating better interventional conditions, in particular by being totally protected from x-rays.

R-One™ comprises two core elements:
- Radio-protected control unit: a mobile radioprotection control station with a mobile radiation protection screen that protects medical staff from x-rays, and the command unit (joysticks). With this unit, the physician remotely controls instruments in the vascular system safely and accurately
- Robotic unit: comprising the robot and its articulated support arm

The architecture of medical robot R-One™ permit to use two guide/stent-balloon units can be used (non-simultaneously). It is compatible with market leading devices (guidewires, stent/balloons, imaging systems, etc.). It takes just a few minutes to install and integrates flawlessly with the intervention protocol, without adding any additional steps.

Professor E. Durand, interventional cardiologist at Rouen University Hospital (France)
There are very clear advantages for the physician in terms of precision, which indirectly will benefit the patient.

Doctor J. Fajadet, co-director of the cardiovascular disease department at the Clinique Pasteur in Toulouse (France), co-director of EuroPCR congress and Director of the EAPCI
The precision in the manipulation of the wire and the balloon/stent catheter is really exceptional.

Professor M. Haude, interventional cardiologist and Director of Medical Clinic I at Rheinland Klinikum Neuss, Lukaskrankenhaus (Germany)
The benefits brought by R-One™ are huge for practitioners and will drastically improve our working conditions, which will consequently benefit patient care.

Doctor R. Sabatier, interventional cardiologist at Caen University Hospital (France)
Getting started is very easy and intuitive. The fact that the robot’s behavior is consistent means the risk of human error can be reduced.

Professor S. Verheye, interventional cardiologist at ZNA Middelheim in Antwerp (Belgium)
I was immediately impressed by the platform’s ease of use and its level of precision. The robot places the stent even more precisely than with the manual technique, down to a fraction of a millimeter.

Next applications

Innovation is at the heart of Robocath’s strategy. New patents are regularly filed for new technologies that will be used in future medical specialties. Robocath’s aim is to guarantee the same access to treatment for all through the development of remote interventions, including the remote treatment of vascular emergencies such as strokes. This model will provide better care for this type of pathology, more quickly and under better conditions. Research is currently underway to develop robotics platforms for peripheral vascular and neurovascular procedures.
