Terumo CVS CDI Blood Parameter Monitoring System 550 (Brand Name Only) INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND: The CDI Blood Parameter Monitoring System 550 (CDI System 550) was designed and developed to enable continuous monitoring of in-line blood parameters-pH, pCO2, PO2, K+, temperature, SO2, hematocrit, hemoglobin, base excess, bicarbonate, oxygen consumption and oxygen delivery during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Using optical fluorescence and reflectance technologies and disposable sensors placed in the extracorporeal circuit, the CDI System 550 monitors and displays real-time changes in blood parameters. The system provides continuous results and also reduces the need to consume or dispose of blood samples, as is required in laboratory analyzers. OBJECTIVE: The Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 04, VA Pittsburgh Health Care System Pittsburgh, PA hereby referred to as the VAMC Pittsburgh (646), is requesting the Brand Name only acquisition of the following: See 3.1.14.Table 1 for complete requirement MAJOR REQUIREMENTS: Salient Characteristics for Brand Name Terumo CDI System 550 Continuous Oxygen Delivery (DO2) An extensive body of clinical evidence supports the importance of monitoring and maintaining adequate Oxygen Delivery (DO2) levels during cardiac surgery 12 critical blood parameter values Unique fluorescence sensor technology measures pH, pCO2, pO2 and potassium Large, color liquid crystal display provides high visibility System s average response time is in seconds Monitor Large, color liquid crystal display provides high visibility at a variety of viewing angles. Self-diagnostic system verifies proper functioning of electronics and optics. System alerts provide visual and audible indicators when parameters fall outside user specified limits. Integrated battery pack ensures uninterrupted operation for 25 minutes. Monitors blood/patient in either actual or 37 C temperature mode to allow for Alpha stat or pH stat management. Displays blood parameter values in either numeric, graphic, or tabular formats. Integral monitor printer provides documentation of system s self-diagnostics and calibration verification, as well as displayed values. Serial interfaces accept inputs from pumping system to use and display blood low and provide outputs to data management systems or transmission to other external devices. Built-in handle facilitates transportability. H/S Cuvette Optical reflectance technology provides accurate readings of venous SO2/Hct/Hgb. Disposable cuvette clips easily to hematocrit/saturation probe. Available in three connector sizes: 1/4 x 1/4, 3 8 x 3 8, and 1/2 x 1/2 inches. Shunt Sensor Unique fluorescence sensor technology measures pH, pCO2, pO2, and K+ Simple installation of the sensor into the shunt line using luer connections. May also be added after the initiation of bypass, facilitating set up in emergency cases. Treated with covalently bound, non-leaching heparin. Calibrator Fast two-point gas calibration assures shunt sensor is performing to specifications. Small footprint and built-in handle for transportability. Mountable onto monitor pole clamp.
