6515--Brand Name Only - ACIST - CVi Standard Cardiac Contrast Dye Injector Total Small Business Set-aside

Statement of Work CVi STD Contrast Injector Statement of Need/Work 1. Title of Project: CVi Standard Contrast Injector System 2. Background and Scope of Work: We are requesting the brand name only purchase of the ACIST CVi STANDARD Contrast Dye Injector System w/ 7-year warranty, and Mobile Cart for the VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System (VAPHS) Cardiology Section. The Contrast Injector System is designed to provide an advanced adjustable-rate contrast injection system developed for use in various cardiac and vascular angiography procedures, which include coronary, ventricle, aorta, and peripheral vasculatures. Replacing current equipment with the same platform, only newer technology, will reduce the amount of negative impact on patient access and staff learning curve. This platform utilizes a multi-patient contrast syringe that reduces the amount of wasted contrast. This added feature results in less spending for consumable products and was especially helpful when supply chain issues caused a global contrast shortage. The CVi Standard Contrast Injector System features: Designed to provide an advanced, controlled, adjustable-rate radiopaque contrast media and/or saline to patient for various angiographic cardiac and peripheral procedures. Contains a motor-driven pump that delivers contrast media and saline from the injector to the patient by catheter or sheath. Programmable rates/modes: Flow rate: Fill 1-2 ml/s and air purge 6ml/s Volume Pressure Rise time Saline: automated fixed flow rate, 1.6 ml/s with a maximum injection volume of 16 ml/saline injection activation Operation Modes: Injection selection Mode selection End case Pre-programmed Cardiac and Peripheral Inject-Saline-Purge-KVO Hand controller calibration Must provide transducer backplate sensor. Able to monitor blood pressure through system simultaneously with current hemodynamics recording system. Greatly reduces the amount of Contrast used during procedures, minimizing negative affects to patient s kidneys. Able to be installed on a pedestal cart or procedure table rail. Includes all required cables/connections to operate contrast injector system. System components: Control panel: Main user display Contains: Armed indicator light, touchscreen, standby button, luer-lock connections for hand controller, control panel connection, and speaker Swivel base for easy rotation for optimal viewing Injector head: Contains the motors, pumps, sensing elements, and software that control contrast and saline delivery. Sensors: Air column detection, Manifold valve, Contrast, and Syringe valve Luminescent Backlight: For visualization of air detection Syringe chamber Able to be pedestal cart or procedure bed rail mounted. Mobile cart Power supply Communication, Power, and X-Ray synchronization cables Compatible with current: Contrast syringe, injection tubing, and manifold Philips Allura X-Ray System Philips Xper Hemodynamics Recording System GE Mac Lab Monitoring / Charting system Warranty: Standard 7-year manufacturer s warranty We feel these qualities are especially important/valuable in an Invasive Cardiology program. In addition to increased procedural effectiveness and safety, this technology can lead to improved clinical outcomes in procedures requiring contrast injection. 3.
