- Description
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) Office of Acquisitions OA, DERA has a requirement for the Cardio Thoracic Surgery (CTS) Branch for the purchase of a product #T27F-12 Implant: Cardiovascular Telemetry Implants for large animals (e.g. swine; baboon), Transduces and transmits LVP, ECG, and temperature. Features include: independent frequency, transmission range of 4 meters, and continuous battery life of 24 months, quantity four (4) each. The implants are to be used for transplantation of a pig in a baboon. This experiment will evaluate the effectiveness of a pig heart in replacing a disease human heart. Several immunological phenomenons will be studied and many combinations of immunosuppressive agents will be tried. This is a complex surgical procedure and requires continuous monitoring of baboons. Some of the common monitoring parameters include: heart rate, EKG, aortic pressure, respiration, temperature, etc. The telemetry system can effectively monitor all the above parameters and can be operated by a single person. Also, a telemetry system can be monitored remotely. This will allow the scientist to monitor the animals from the office. To include sterilization services; consist of low temperature and pressure gas ETO sterilization, 1-10 devices cleaned and mounted to a plastic grid, sealed into the sterilization bag and gassed.

(PLEASE PROVIDE MODEL NUMBER AND S/N OF EXISTING SYSTEM) The implant must be a small implantable transmitter which when combined with sensors makes up one half of a 4 channel monitoring system for caged animal medical research applications. In operation, sensor signals are amplified and sampled in series to create a frame for transmission. The pulse signals sent to the transmitter which sends out a burst RF energy for each pulse. The modular must be designed with wire cables to connect the modules. The main module must have two (2) amplifier circuit boards and an encoder/transmitter board.
