The department presently has two systems deployed at WRNMMC and each patient treatment session requires the use of at least one (1) disposable treatment pack. The department estimates 2500 treatment packs would be used per year; and it is considering a base year and one (1) additional option years' procurement. Any treatment pack offered must interface completely and be transparently interoperable with the NeuroStar treatment chairs (already installed); so as to ensure that the treatment coil is functioning properly, positioned correctly, and confirming to the attending physician that their patients are receiving optimal treatment, as planned. The treatment pack provided MUST BE 100% COMPATIBLE with the existing NeuroStar Chairs and the NeuroStar TMS Therapy system as is presently installed and used to provide TMS treatment. Any disposable treatment pack must also in addition to the above; provide the following salient characteristics and features when it is deployed, it MUST: Deploy multi-functionalities thru a single treatment linkage comprised in multiple layers; Deploy a Sensory Guard - to reduce the intensity of the magnetic field at the scalp; Deploy a Magnetic Field Detector - to detect and verify the intensity of the magnetic field before each treatment, ensuring that patients receive exactly what the system operator programs for safe and effective treatment; Deploy a Smart Chip - Signal processor to ensure constant communication of treatment coil output with the NeuroStar TMS system software; Deploy Contact Sensors - Detecting small displacement of the TMS treatment coil from the patient's head (e.g. 2 mm); to continuously monitor contact between the patient's head and the coil, allowing the system operator the ability to make coil adjustments and re-administer missed pulses; ensuring patients receive the full prescribed stimulation of the target tissue; Deploy a Hygiene Barrier - that acts as a hygienic barrier between the patient's head and the coil which provides a safe and clean surface, for each patient treatment session. These disposable treatment packs are intended to be identical for use by the two existing treatment systems deployed, and must have the same or equal Physician and system operator familiarity, training regimens, and maintenance commonality with the existing make/model of the fleet of TMS therapy systems, which are not being replaced, at WRNMMC.
