- Description
- The Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN 8), James A. Haley Veterans Hospital, Tampa, FL is currently seeking any company that can provide the following items or equal: MECHANICALLY-VENTILATED, PASSIVE, ANIMAL-LUNG MECHANICS ANALYZER. The suggested brand/model is the Buxco FinePointe RC Resistance and Compliance Hardware with one additional animal module. This instrument measures the two key physiological components of lung function-airway resistance and compliance. This system performs measurements of specific airway resistance and lung compliance simultaneously on two mice. Additional modules can be obtained that measure slung mechanics on up to six mice at one time. RC analysis involves measurement of flow and pressure - mouth and /or esophageal. Flow is measured using a plethysmograph chamber. Studies may be performed on anesthetized subjects, both ventilated and spontaneously-breathing. Subjects can be studied repeatedly by intubating though the mouth or by using a mask. This highly-integrated system requires just one USB connection and one power connection for each subject, simplifying operation and reducing bench space requirements. Each controller provides preamplification, analog-to-digital conversion, aerosol control, and a respiration pump. The system is highly-scalable and easy to store when not in use. Key benefits include: o Measure resistance and dynamic compliance directly o Optionally measure static compliance and elastance o Monitor a subject's vitality with BP or ECG heart rate o Select the intubation option for longitudinal studies o Keep subjects warm with a heated bed o Challenge subjects intravenously or using aerosols o Study multiple subjects simultaneously o Combine with other measurements o Automated calibration (patent pending) The applicable NAICS for this item is 339113. Interested firms shall include a brief capability statement (include product specifications/brochures for equal items), complete contact information (company name, POC, email, phone), size status (large business, small business, SDVOSB, VOSB, Hub Zone 8(a), Woman Owned Small Business, etc), and GSA/FSS schedules if applicable. Also, please confirm if your company uses FedBid or is willing to use FedBid. All responses to this sources sought notice shall be submitted to the following email address: william.hilliard@va.gov. Please do not call or leave voice messages. The closing time/date for responses is 1100 AM, 29 Aug 2012. This sources sought notice is for market research purposes only. THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION AND DOES NOT OBLIGATE THE GOVERNMENT TO ISSUE A SOLICITATION. The Government will not pay for any information submitted under this notice.
