Description
The Department of Cardiology at William Beaumont Army Medical Center requires two Intra-Aortic Balloon Circulatory Assist Units to perform cardiovascular procedures. The equipment should have a balloon catheter placed in the aorta to improve heart function and help the heart pump more blood. The system must be FDA-approved, portable, and have automatic and manual capabilities. The seller must provide training, installation, and maintenance services. The key characteristics of the system include a high-resolution color touch screen monitor, balloon volume adjustment, timing adjustment, signal outputs, and alarm notifications.
• The system must be a portable stand-alone device.
• The system must have a high-resolution color touch screen monitor with parameters readings for three trace, Electrocardiogram (ECG), arterial pressure, balloon pressure, trigger mode, operational mode, assisted and unassisted pressure values.
• The system must have balloon volume adjustment with increments of 0.5cc.
• The system must have timing adjustment increments of 1 second.
• The system must have signal outputs of ECG, arterial pressure, fluid-filled transducer, fiberoptic sensor.
• The system must have the capabilities of auto condensation removal without interruption.
• The system must alarm notifications for trigger loss, vacuum pressure loss, balloon disconnect, balloon leak, balloon overinflate, systolic inflate, loading failure, high pressure, power loss, device malfunctions, low battery indicator, and temporary alarm silencing by end-user.
