Statement of Work Medical Quantum CPB System, Cardiac INTRODUCTION: The VA Boston Healthcare System Surgical Department, Cardiac, needs the Medical Quantum CPB system for the OR, 1400 VFW Pkwy, West Roxbury. The Medical Quantum CPB system is a critical device that makes it possible for open heart surgery. It is designed to take over the job of a patient s heart and lungs so that a surgeon can operate on a non-beating heart. Our current Heart & Lung machines are 10 years old. To keep pace with current safe techniques and proper patient monitoring, it is vital that our heart and lung machines are up to date. Updating the heart and lung system to the same company makes for easy integration and eliminate multiple vendors for device maintenance. All contractor personnel shall report and obtain a short-term identification badge issued by the COR or government designated representative. Such badge shall be worn by the individual and prominently always displayed while on VA Property. No employee of the contractor shall enter the site without a valid identification badge issued by the VA. To obtain a short-term identification badge, contractor personnel shall present to the COR a valid (non-expired) photo identification issued by a US federal, state, or local government agency. After hours all contractor personnel (without exception) must report to the Clinical Engineering Department, to sign in where a contractor identification badge is verified before any work is performed.
