Digital Transcutaneous Monitor to Measure Blood Gases

The Department of Veterans Affairs, VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System, is seeking information on a new transcutaneous monitor to measure blood gases for its Sleep Laboratory. The device must be able to measure transcutaneous oxygen, transcutaneous carbon dioxide tension, pulse rate, Relative Heating Power, and vital signs. It must also have a digital display, auditory alarms, and be compatible with the Lab's polysomnography system. The monitor should have a US 3-prong AC power with a rechargeable battery backup power supply. • Measure transcutaneous oxygen (tcPO2) • Measure transcutaneous carbon dioxide tension (tcPO2) • Measure pulse rate (PR) • Measure Relative Heating Power (RHP) • Measure vital signs (VS) • Digital display • Auditory alarms • Compatibility with the Lab’s polysomnography (Somnostar v 11.4 Sleep System) • US 3-prong AC power with a rechargeable battery backup power supply
