Pyxis Anesthesia ES Equipment

The Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking to acquire three BD Pyxis Anesthesia ES Systems and three Codonic printers for the Cape Girardeau Health Care Center. This is a brand name only justification, as the proposed equipment is required to work in conjunction with the currently installed Pyxis medical anesthesia equipment. The acquisition includes the installation and removal of existing outdated equipment. • The equipment is intended to replace three main Pyxis equipment that are at the end-of-life cycle. • The BD Pyxis Anesthesia ES System is the only authorized item to work in conjunction with the currently installed Pyxis automated dispensing system. • Any other brand name anesthesia cabinets are unable to integrate with the currently installed system. • Becton Dickinson CareFusion Solutions, LLC (BD) has provided a letter stating that only BD products are authorized to work with their system.
