Market research was conducted and determined that Seimans Medical Solutions is the only vendor capable of providing supplies necessary that meet the requirements. POSITRON EMITTION TOMOGRAPHY (PET) Ge-68 Phantom PHARMACEUTICAL General Description: Furnish all necessary resources to deliver one (1) new Ge-68 Phantom. Contractor shall provide a means to remove the expired isotopes after the unit has expired. PET/CT Germanium-68 Phantoms provide 2D and 3D normalization and test images of PET and PET/CT systems. The Ge-68 Cylindrical phantom will be used to verify the operation integrity of the Siemens Biograph PET/CT system at the Bronx VA. In addition, the phantom is needed to catch potential problems early, and maintain consistency, quantitative accuracy, and high image quality. The Ge-68 is important at the Bronx VA because a Siemens Biograph system is used to scan a high volume of patients. The Biograph system at the Bronx VA needs to have a quality check daily, which is performed by VA personnel. The results produced by the quality check determine the readiness of the system for scanning or whether service is needed. To run the daily quality check, the Bronx VA needs a Siemens Ge-68 phantom. The absence of Ge-68 will cause VA medical professionals to not be able to utilize the PET/CT scanner, which will cause a disruption in critically important patient care.
