Background The George E Wahlen Veterans Affairs Medical Center has a requirement for the procurement of brand name or equal Eclipse EP 25. We are wanting to update our evoked potential system and are asking for Eclipse Evoked Potential 25 systems which is the only tool which will allow testing for auditory evoked potentials using a CE-Chirp L stimulus. EP25 systems measure auditory brainstem responses picked up by skin electrodes and amplified by a pre-amplifier. The data acquisition of the ABR recordings takes place from the surface electrodes mounted at specific recording points on the patient. The analogue ABR recordings are amplified in the external preamplifier connected to the electrodes. The amplified analogue ABR recordings are converted into a digital signal in the ADC (Analog to Digital Converter) inside the Eclipse. The digital ABR recordings undergo data processing handled by the PC to improve the ABR-recordings. The ABR-recordings are displayed on the monitor for the operator, for further examination and diagnosis. All ABR recordings are stored on the Laptop I Desktop computer hard drive for later examination and diagnosis. 2. Specifications We desire the following salient characteristics for the Eclipse EP 25 CHIRP stimulus for better waveform / threshold assessment; ASSR feature uses phase cohesion for primary threshold detection; External VEMP EMG monitor for evaluation of muscle contraction; EcogG AP/SP area calculation for better diagnosis of Menieres--better than just AP/SP ratio; (60% v 90% diagnostic significance); ASSR 2 channel EP allows for 4 frequencies to be acquired, both ears at the same time; Binaural stimulation both ears at the same time,.5,1,2,4 at the same time very fast for threshold detection and gives an eHl Audiogram; 32 point OAE capability for finer resolution of cochlear response; Bayseian weighting for waveforms to better pull data out of noise; FMP statistical analysis calculation to analyses the waveforms to improve confidence of waveforms. Within ninety (90) days of delivery for clinic instrumentation, Vendor will provide, in addition to the manufacturer s warranty, free warranty services on-site without additional charge to VA.
