Description

POC: Larry K. Shaughnesy, RN Clinical Analyst, Tri-Service Regional Business Office (TRBO), Tri-Service Northeast Region, Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Washington, DC Phone: (202) 782-3666. Alternate POC: Tracy Martin-Tilghman, Logistician Team Leader, Tri-Service Regional Business Office (TRBO), Tri-Service Northeast Region, Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Washington, DC Phone: (202) 782-3663. Potential sources sought to participate in the regional standardization of General Purpose Intravenous Infusion Pumps/Systems. The review process leading to a selection of vendor(s) upon which to standardize will take in to consideration, but not be limited to, the following aspects of Pumps/Systems design and performance: Single Channel Pump availability. Dual/Multiple Channel Pump availability. Integral Dose Error Reduction System. Flexibility of programmed soft and hard limits in Dose Error Reduction System. Separation of Dose Error Reduction System event log and Primary data log. Ease of use of Dose Error Reduction System. Set-based free-flow protection. Set-based free-flow protection system that cannot be defeated. Inability of pump operation with unprotected tubing. Needleless technology tubing design. Ease of tubing priming. Ease of engagement of tubing in the pumping mechanism. Compatibility of tubing with different model pumps from same manufacturer. Availability of self-time-adjusting pump date/time clock. Capability of micro-infusion rates (less than 1ml). Capability of an infusion rate range from 0.1ml to 999 ml/hr. Capability of bolus infusion rate. Capability of Volume To Be Infused (VTBI) prompt/display. Ease of initiating and maintaining/managing multiple infusions Ease of reading Information status and programming screens. Inclusion of user prompts in pump programming. Ease of initial programming and ease of programming and dosage/rate changes. Availability of dosage/rate calculations for non-library drugs and/or standard intravenous solutions Capability of initial programming and subsequent program changes confirmation requirement. Capability of New Patient prompt with each power-up or programming initiation. Capability of patient/family member tamper-resistant technology. Ease of distinguishing and resolving alarm status/conditions Inclusion of a Secondary Line Upstream occlusion alarm Clear identification of infusion status on all channels/infusions including alerts, warnings, and alarms. Availability of channel/drug comparison alert on Dual/Multiple channel pumps. Clear identification of currently operating channels on Dual/Multiple channel pumps. CT/MRI compatibility. Relatively light weight and easy to carry/maneuver. Ease of surface cleaning. Ease of battery engagement, charging, and replacement. Retention of Primary Log Data and Dose Error Reduction System Data (over time; number of events). Availability of event data retrieval system. Status of Nurse-Call-System interface technology. Status of Bar-Code-Ready technology. Number of Clinical Care Areas programmable in the pump and associated PC software. Number of drug entities programmable in the pump and associated PC software. Number of dose-limit data programmable in the pump and associated PC software. Ease of event/Dose Error Reduction data upgrade and download. Cost of software licensing. Cost of software maintenance. Cost of software upgrades. Cost of implementation/maintenance/upgrade consultation. Availability of value-adds packages. Availability of comprehensive and ongoing clinical/education support programs. Availability of pump/system-specific pump storage/transport device (IV poles). Tri-Service Northeast Region, an integrated military health care delivery network comprised of Army, Air Force, and Navy Medical Treatment Facilities (MTF), is considering standardizing and establishing a Regio nal Incentive Agreement(s) {RIA(s)} for General Purpose Intravenous Infusion Pumps/Systems. This is not a request for bids but an invitation to participate in a product line review process that will result in a selection of vendor(s) to provide this produ ct line to MTFs within the Northeast Region. Vendors must provide full product line literature and available documentation of research and development in the design and performance of this product line. Vendors must also provide product line models and k nowledgeable and appropriate representatives as needed for possible vendor demonstrations, possible hands-on clinical simulations and possible extensive on-site clinical evaluations/trials. All expenses related to literature reproduction and dissemination ; product line demonstrations; marketing; hands-on simulations; on-site clinical evaluations/trials; and appropriate in-service education related to the above throughout this standardization initiative must be at no charge to the government. Vendors, suppliers and manufacturers must be holders of a Distribution And Pricing Agreement (DAPA) with the Defense Supply Center Philadelphia (DSCP), distribute products and associated product line supplies/consumables through the DSCP Prime Vendor (PV) program, and satisfy the technical and clinical criteria for product line design, performance and vendor support programs as put forth in this standardization initiative. Vendors, suppliers, and manufacturers must hold a DAPA to be eligible to participate in this standardization initiative. For additional information on DAPA, you may call Mr. John Charalabidis at the Defense Supply Center-Philadelphia at (215) 737-7124. Please respond by e-mail to Larry.Shaughnesy@na.amedd.army.mil before Monday, 15 February 2005 and provide the following: (a) company name, (b) company address, (c) company DAPA number, (d) point of contact, (e) telephone number, (f) fax number, (g) E-mail address, and (h) responses to the technical and clinical criteria as listed above. For questions, please call Larry K. Shaughnesy, RN Clinical Analyst at (202) 782-3666 or alternately, Tracy Martin-Tilghman, Logistician Team Leader at (202) 782 -3663.
