Brand Name Only: Maquet Getinge Group STATEMENT OF WORK: Equipment being ordered: CS300 Clamshell Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump (IABP) Transaction number: 644-202-17-00002 Description of what the equipment being requested is: The IABP provides life-sustaining support for patients with the following critical conditions: Cardiogenic shock. Acute myocardial infarction. Unstable angina. Acute mitral incompetence. Planned cardiac transplant. Ventricular arrhythmias refractory to conventional treatment. Cardiology is in the application process with the VA National Office to start a Percutaneous Transluminal Intervention (PCI) program. This will allow the Phoenix VA to treat Veterans with coronary artery disease in house, thus saving the VA the large expense associated with sending these patients out to the community for their care. In addition, this will give the Phoenix VA Cardiology section the control necessary to improve the quality and continuity of care provided to our Veterans. A key feature of the PCI approval process is demonstrating that the Phoenix VA is equipped to manage emergency cardiac situations. The Phoenix VA currently has one of the CS300 IABPs. The Cardiology section will need a second one in reserve for the possible eventuality of the first being off sight with a patient being transported emergently to a facility that can perform emergency open-heart surgery. Contractor will continue to provide ongoing training for staff as needed. Contractor to abide by all rules & regulations of the Phoenix VA Hospital to include obtaining contractor badge from police prior to proceeding to the cardiology department, park in designated area only, no smoking within 30 feet of the facility, no weapons allowed on the facility grounds. Description of how the equipment being requested operates: The IABP supports cardiac function in these vital life preserving ways: Decreasing cardiac workload by reducing left ventricular afterload. Increased coronary filling pressures thus improving myocardial perfusion. Increased mean arterial pressure thus improving tissue perfusion to the periphery and brain. This contract/equipment does not have data storage capacity nor will PHI/PII/III be captured, stored or transmitted. Where will the equipment being requested be used: The IABP will be inserted in the Cardiac Cath Lab. Once the IABP is has been placed, the patient can be transported to the Cardiac Same Day Care unit to await emergent transportation to a facility with an open heart program or to the VA ICU department. Who will be using the equipment being requested: Care of the IABP patient will fall to those Cath Lab and Critical Care RNs who have been trained and validated as competent in the highly specialized management of IABP patients. Justification: The complex and sophisticated nature of managing the IABP in a life threatening situation is the primary rationale for purchasing a second one of the same make and model. This will assure continuity in assessing the RN staff competency and reduce the risk of unintended errors. The IABP will have a low frequency of use but will pose a very high degree of risk if not managed properly. Purchase of the same vendor equipment will allow the VA to use the same intra aortic balloons in either piece of equipment (these balloons are already approved for purchase as one time only use for each item, disposable after use). Furthermore this would reduce the probability of staff error due to differences in types of equipment & ancillary items, ie disposable balloons. Since this IABP is used only in a life threatening situation, any potential for error should be reduced as much as possible. All items will be shipped to: Phoenix VA Healthcare System, 650 Indian School Rd, Phoenix, AZ, 85012-1892. End Sources Sought Announcement
