Description
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is seeking information on potential qualified sources capable of providing Oxygen Units for the VA San Diego Healthcare System. The required Oxygen Units must deliver high flow warmed and humidified oxygen to spontaneously breathing patients through a variety of interfaces. The device must have integrated battery lasting up to 40 minutes, an integrated blender with high-pressure oxygen input, and visual and auditory alarms to notify users about interruptions to a patient’s treatment.
The key requirements for the Oxygen Units include:
• Delivering high flow warmed and humidified oxygen to spontaneously breathing patients
• Having an integrated battery lasting up to 40 minutes
• Having an integrated blender with high-pressure oxygen input
• Having visual and auditory alarms to notify users about interruptions to a patient’s treatment
• Having a lock screen to prevent accidental changes to therapy
• Providing a visual display when the air filter requires changing
The VA is encouraging companies to provide information about their capabilities, pricing, and delivery times for the required Oxygen Units.
