- Description
- Manufacturers Product Demonstration forInfusion Pumps/Systems and Patient Controlled Analgesia (PCA) Pumps/Systems, Non-Implantable for use in In-Patient Acute Care Setting The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is contemplating procuring Infusion Pump and PCA Pump Systems, and therefore is interested in having a Product Demonstration Presentation on May 19-20, 2009 as a part of market research. The product demonstrations will be held at the VA National Acquisition Center located at 1st Ave 1 Block North of Cermak Road, Hines, Illinois 60141. Participants who will demonstrate each system will have one hour per system as follows; one (1) hour for the Infusion Pump and one (1) hour for the PCA Pump System per demonstration. Participants only demonstrating one system will have one hour for that system. The hour(s) will be utilized as follows: (15 minutes for setup / 15 minutes for oral presentation / 30 minutes for product Demonstration). The demonstration should show the steps required to properly and safely program the infusion pump for standard commonly used solutions as well as high risk medications including the use of piggy-back bags and sets. The demonstration should also show the steps required to properly and safely program the PCA pump. Note: VA will entertain only one demonstration of a particular manufacturer's specific pump system/model, even if it is marketed by more than one vendor. Therefore, interested participants should contact Cheryl Simmons, at (708) 786-5214 / cheryl.simmons@va.gov by May 11, 2009 to coordinate attendance. Interested participants should provide information by this date concerning whether they are a manufacturer or distributor of the pumps, whether they will demonstrate one or both type pumps, which type of pump they will demonstrate if only demonstrating one type and, if a distributor identify the make and model of the product being demonstrated. The presentation should include the following, but not limited to: General Purpose Infusion Pumps/Systems 1.Thorough review of the Dose Error Reduction System (DERS) including the audio and visual alarm indicators when pre-set soft and hard alarm thresholds are violated. 2.How does the infusion start up when it has been turned off? What mode does it default to when it is first turned on? 3.What is the process to tailor drug libraries to meet the facility needs? 4.What is the process to download new, modified drug libraries? 5.Demonstrate the functionality of the system's wireless connectivity including but not limited to: a)Downloading of logs of alerts and actions taken by the device user. b)Updating of software and drug libraries. c)Connectivity to electronic data systems for automated capture of infusion data into the patient's electronic medical record, using both VA's Computerized Patient Records System (CPRS) clinical flowsheets and/or vendor supplied clinical information system/anesthesia record keeping systems. 6.Demonstrate the features of free-flow protection. Is it set-based only or does it have other modes? 7.What is the software to prevent mis-infusions (over/under infusions as well as wrong drug, wrong dose and wrong route)? 8.Provide samples of most commonly used tubing sets with needle stick prevention access ports and Y sites and catalogs of other available sets and accessories. 9.Describe and demonstrate what QA data/retrievable logs are available for each pump/system Patient Controlled Analgesia (PCA) 1.Demonstrate the functionality of your PCA pump. 2.Demonstrate the integration of the PCA pump with General Purpose IV infusion pump system if that feature is available. 3.Demonstrate and show the number of syringe sizes and/or solution sizes that the PCA pump can accommodate. 4.Show the different modes of PCA available i.e. bolus, continuous, and prime/purge modes. 5.Show the features that prevents drug tampering; mechanical lock out. 6.Demonstrate the features that prevent program tampering. 7.Demonstrate the drug library for PCA applications and what are the dosing units (mcg, mg, etc). Describe how the library is updated and maintained. 8.Show how to review and clear the history, what items are captured e.g. attempts, previous rates, amount of drug delivered, total volume, etc. 9.Show the remote control extension or button which activates PCA. 10.Demonstrate how to program/deliver a "clinician's bolus". 11.What are the pressure limits of the PCA tubing set? 12.Bring samples of special tubing that can accommodate higher pressure limits. 13.Demonstrate patient safety features that alert the clinician to over sedation of the patient. 14.Bring an Epidural module if you have one and demonstrate its performance. 15.Describe and demonstrate what QA data/retrievable logs are available for each pump/system Maintenance 1.Discuss recurring maintenance of Infusion and/or PCA pumps. 2.Discuss testing of Infusion and/or PCA pumps. 3.Discuss the availability of Service Literature for Infusion and/or PCA pumps. 4.Discuss availability of repair/replacement parts for Infusion and/or PCA pumps.
