RPI Is Celebrating Their 50th Anniversary!

RPI Continues to be Your Best Source for Quality Replacement Parts!

Tue Feb 01 2022By Replacement Parts Industries (RPI)

The original aftermarket parts supplier in the medical and dental equipment industries – RPI is best known for offering quality parts, excellent technical support, and outstanding customer service. We were founded in 1972 with Al and Sherry Lapides as the driving force behind the tremendous success of the company.

They passed the baton in 1999 to their son, Ira Lapides, President of RPI, and from that point on, we soared to even greater heights. 


Over the years, we expanded our goal of manufacturing parts that meet or exceed the OEM's performance. In fact, we are the proud owners of U.S. Patent 10,610,828 for our catalytic converter which was developed by two of our engineers for a hydrogen peroxide sterilizer vacuum pump assembly. What’s more, during these past 50 years, we have developed a vast array of one-of-kind parts that have made your job easier. 

                   


Developing parts that are end-user friendly is also important to RPI. For example, our condenser waste bottle kit that fits a table top sterilizer was designed with a "quick disconnect" that allows the bottle to detach from the unit with just a simple snap, thus preventing spillage and mak- ing it an easy task for the end-user to dispose of the liquid.


                   


The RPI Field Service Calibration Smart® Kit for automatic sterilizers, and the specialty O-ring Kit for servicing endoscope reprocessors, are just two of the exclusive, value added kits that RPI customers appreciate, and are demanding more of in the future because they offer just about everything needed for servicing specific aspects of equipment in one convenient kit.

                   



RPI was one of the first companies to introduce a website to its customers and the industry. We have always offered free technical assistance via the phone with an experienced RPI Tech or on-line through RPI’s website’s, Technical Assistance Center. We are FDA Registered and ISO9001 Certified. 

                   

All RPI parts are 100% guaranteed to your satisfaction, and all orders are shipped same day, Monday – Friday when placed before 2:00 pm (PST). You can place an order on-line through RPI’s easy-to-use RPI Shopping Cart. This has been RPI’s way since the beginning.

              

Looking to the future, we are now an integral part of the Healthcare Components Group (HCG). HCG is a family of companies dedicated to providing quality components and replacement parts to the healthcare industry. 

RPI’s HCG affiliate companies, American Optics (AOERP), Micro Optics Europe (MOE), and Endoscopy Development Company (EDC), offer the same high level of quality replacement parts and components to the flexible and rigid endoscope industry.             

       

We are proud of our 50 years of excellence, and look forward to many more years of success as part of the HCG family!
