(vi) The US Government, Veterans Affairs (VA) seeks to make a procurement for Ambulatory Cardiac Monitoring System and Service (Base Year Plus Four (4) Option Years to renew with estimated annual quantities ordered on an as needed basis): Offeror quotations must demonstrate meeting the salient physical, functional, or performance characteristics specified in this solicitation, otherwise it will be considered non-responsive. The technical specifications for this requirement are listed for Brand Name or Equal per FAR 52.211-6. The information identified provided is intended to be descriptive, not restrictive and to indicate the quality that will be satisfactory. The interested parties bear full responsibility to ensure their submission demonstrates to the government that they can provide the brand name or equal to supplies being requested. Statement of Work (SOW) Introduction and Need Cardiology Division within Medical Service at VAGLA has a need for two types of ambulatory electrocardiogram monitors which can be referred as Devices or Monitors, i.e. Long-Term Continuous Monitor (LTCM) and Mobile Cardiac Outpatient Telemetry Monitors. Both types of monitors are single use monitors which can be applied to patients in outpatient clinic setting or at patients home via home enrollment service which the contractor will provide. LTCM are wearable patch-based biosensor which continuously records and stores ECG data from every patient heartbeat for up to 14 days without the need to charge or change battery. MCOT monitors are wearable patch-based biosensor that has internet connectivity. The gateway has internet connectivity, which allows it to send important segments of heart data to the contractor s website for analysis. The MCOT can be worn up to 14 consecutive days without the need to change or charge the battery. Long-Term Continuous Monitors (LTCM) and Mobile Cardiac Outpatient Telemetry Monitors (MCOT) are single use device. There are no battery changes or charging required for both types of monitors during 14-days wearing period by patients and also there are no adhesive changes during the 14-days wearing period. Both LTCM and MCOT must monitor patients for up to 14 days and the customer (prescribing physician and certified cardiac technician-CCT) must have access through a secure FIPS 140-2 certified website. Both LTCM and MCOT use a FDA cleared algorithm to curate reports and reports must be viewed by a CCT employed by the customer and be trained by the manufacturer of the device. Background The VA Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System (VAGLAHS) is a part of the Desert Pacific Healthcare Network (VISN 22), and is one of the most diversified tertiary health care providers in the VA. It is a teaching hospital, providing a full range of patient services, with state-of-the art technology as well as education and research. We strive to continuously look for technology that increases the efficacy of medical and diagnostic management of our patients. Cardiac symptoms are often transient in nature such that it is difficult to obtain an ECG the exact time they occur. Oftentimes, clinically relevant abnormalities and life-threatening rhythms have no cardiac symptoms. Procurement of an Ambulatory Cardiac Monitoring system and service in which this combination of supplying both types of monitors as needed and allow clinicians to have real-time data on a continuous basis is the solution to this problem. Ambulatory Telemetry is used for patients experiencing intermittent symptoms, such as palpitations, syncope, dizziness, and shortness of breath. Patients are provided with wearable and portable monitor which allows them to record their electrocardiogram in real time while symptoms are taking place. Scope of Work Customer Responsibilities Cardiology Division providers, refer as Customer, part of Medical Service at VAGLA, will order LTCM or MCOT and Home Enrollment Services after evaluation of patients need register each patient for whom the physicians prescribe and Home Enrollment Service either via website-based platform provided by the vendor, or other available electronic health integration methods at the time of an LTCM or MCOT hook-up/Service activation, prescribing physician must specify notification criteria Customer instructs patients on use and return of LTCM or MCOT device at the end of a prescribed wear period Customer has the responsibility in ensuring a licensed professional prescribes each LTCM or MCOT Device and Service Customer is responsible for patient management and treatment during the entire monitoring period. Customer and vendor acknowledge that neither LTCM and MCOT device have not been cleared by the FDA for use in pediatric patients under the age of 18. Contractor Responsibilities The contractor will: provide the customer with our monitoring devices-LTCM and/or MCOT, (collectively referred to as Device or Devices ) for use with patients provide customer with reasonable training at program start and as needed support reasonable patient training needs throughout the monitoring period notify customer if defined physician notification criteria are met; provide a final report of Our preliminary findings and, with respect to the MCOT Service, certain MCOT reports are in addition to the final report of our preliminary findings, to customer using any of the following methods of communication: a website based platform; a secure electronic interface; or, a secure fax. Both the customer and patients acknowledge the afore mentioned methods of communication are provided as part of our Services and are available to the customer for use at the customer s discretion monitor inventory and ship Devices to you. When Devices are registered thirty (30) or more days after receipt by Us, the ECG data will not be uploaded or analyzed. We will attempt to contact You before discarding the data to determine whether you prefer that the ECG date be uploaded and analyzed. Patient Privacy and Protected Health Information Customer and Contractor will each comply with privacy laws applicable to patient information, including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 ( HIPAA ). Customer and Contractor may each, as HIPAA-covered entities, use and disclose protected health information ( PHI ) and de-identified patient data as permitted or required by law. Per the HIPAA Privacy Rule, PHI can be shared between health care providers without written patient authorization for treatment of the patient. In this situation, a BAA is not required. In addition, VHA privacy policy also allows VHA health care providers to share patient information for treatment purposes. Thus, VA clinics can register patients on the Contractor web site and go to the site to download reports and not be concerned that they are inappropriately sharing patient information. It is, however, recommended as policy of minimizing risk that the patients full social security number not used as an identifier when registering patients on the Contractor website.
