Statement of Work Quantum Heart-Lung Bypass Machine Replacement INTRODUCTION: The VA West Haven CT Healthcare System Surgical Department has a need for two (2) Spectrum Medical Quantum Heart Lung Machine and associated equipment as noted below. The Quantum Heart Lung Machine is a critical device that supports complex perfusion procedures during cardiac surgery. The Quantum Heart Lung Machine temporarily takes over the heart's pumping and the lungs' oxygenating functions during surgery. It circulates and oxygenates blood, allowing surgeons to operate on a still, blood-free heart. Advanced monitoring and safety features prevent complications in real-time. Our current Heart & Lung machines are 13 years old and have been deemed as end of support by the manufacturer. The Medical Center currently uses the Spectrum Medical Quantum workstations with its VISION server and informatics reporting system, which are not being replaced. The heart-lung machine equipment must be fully compatible and able to integrate with the existing Spectrum Medical Quantum workstations and VISION informatics reporting system. Summary of Equipment Characteristics/Requirements: The heart-lung bypass replacement units must have the following characteristics: Fully compatible with the Spectrum Medical Quantum workstation and VISION informatics reporting system Roller head design Hot swappable pumps with auto pump detection software Modular ventilation system for electronic gas blending management and vacuum system management with precise control and gas delivery to improve patient safety SUPPLIES OR SERVICES NEEDED: Item Part # Description/Part Number* Est.

Value counts new single-winner awards. "Shared" awards are multiple-award contracts that list every winner with the same total ceiling (same contract, or the same office, day and amount); that ceiling is not one company's win, so it is not added in. Contract modifications are not new awards and are not added in either. Notices whose amount is a placeholder such as $999,999,999 are not added in. Revenue next to a ticker is the company's revenue over the latest 12 months in its SEC filings.
