This notice is strictly for research and information purposes only. Background The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is the nation's leading medical research agency and the primary Federal agency whose mission is to reduce the burden of disease which they accomplish by seeking fundamental knowledge about the nature and behavior of living systems and the application of that knowledge to enhance health, lengthen life, and reduce illness and disability, conducting, supporting and making medical discoveries that improve people's health and save lives. The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) is a part of the NIH, and conducts research into the causes, treatment, and prevention of neurological disorders and stroke. The NINDS mission is to seek fundamental knowledge about the brain and nervous system and to use that knowledge to reduce the burden of neurological disease. The NINDS Electromyography (EMG) Section provides support services to a number of research programs including the Surgical Neurology Branch (SNB). For this project, the EMG Section provides intraoperative monitoring for complex neurosurgical cases performed by the neurosurgeons in the SNB. This service can be optimized by having a dedicated Intraoperative Monitoring (IOM) system for use in the operating room. Objective The purpose of this acquisition is to provide the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) Electromyography (EMG) Section with a dedicated Intraoperative Monitoring system for intraoperative monitoring of neurosurgical procedures. Project Requirements: The NINDS EMG section requires one (1) intraoperative monitoring system that meets the following requirements: •Built in TcMEP stimulator (not external box), with 4 programmable outputs. The capability is for 1000V / 1500mA and shows energy transferred to patient. •IOM capabilities for SEP, MEP, tcMEP, BAEP, EMG, and EEG modalities. •A true 32 channel system (not two 16 channel systems together) which allows the ability to reference any input to any other input on the amplifier. •Sixteen high level, 2 low level programmable electrical stimulation outputs. •Noise Avoidance Program. •Ability to run simultaneous evoked potentials at different rates including SSEP and BAEP or SSEP and triggered EMG. •Multi-task monitoring software to ensure uninterrupted monitoring throughout surgery; allowing for the ability to change settings, data views, perform measurements and calculations without interfering with vital data acquisition. •Sampling rate is 60,000 / channel Delivery Date The Contractor shall deliver and install the required equipment within 30 days after receipt of order on approximately August 1, 2016. Section 508 Electronic and Information Technology Standards Is not applicable for this requirement. Capability Statement /Information Sought. The respondent's response shall also include any other specific and relevant information related to the requirements of this project that will enable the Government to determine the capabilities of the company to perform the specialized requirements described in this synopsis.
