Description
The James A. Haley Veterans' Hospital is seeking to identify responsible sources capable of providing transcutaneous CO2 monitoring systems for full-night diagnostic sleep studies. The system should meet minimum salient characteristics, including safe and extended-duration skin-compatible sensors, stabilized CO2 reporting, and compatibility with existing polysomnography systems. The Government will give preference to domestic products that meet these requirements.
• The system should be capable of continuously measuring CO2 transcutaneously and providing stabilized CO2 values directly to PSG systems.
• The system should prevent inaccuracies associated with mask leakage or poor mask tolerance.
• The sensor should be capable of supporting site times up to 12 hours and include technology allowing patient mobility during studies without requiring recalibration.
• The system should be fully compatible with Nox Medical A1 and C1 Polysomnography Systems.
• The system should transmit data in a format compatible with existing records and workflows without requiring manual deletion of stabilization periods.
