Description
The Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 10, is seeking to upgrade their Respiratory Ventilator units at the VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System. The current units have reached their life expectancy and are no longer supported by the manufacturer. The VA is looking to purchase 15 Respiratory Ventilator units and training for the Nihon Kohden NKV 330 Respiratory Unit, which combines advanced infection control features with comprehensive, flexible respiratory support. The unit is the only one that uses an integrated unit with the Cap-One Non-Invasive Positive Pressure Ventilation (NPPV) mask for direct CO2 monitoring. The staff is already competent with the platform and interphase, and the new units will allow them to quickly put the units in service and continue to provide direct patient care.
