Details: Portable Angiography Device. The characteristics considered irreversible by the user are the following: 1) The apparatus must be equipped with robotic and synchronized movements in all directions, with memorization of the acquired positions, controllable via the remote control panel of the bow movements that can be positioned on the Operating Table, With Joystick That Allows An Easy And Intuitive Use For The Operator. Furthermore, this must allow to work autonomously in the sterile field and with absolute certainty to maintain the identified landmarks, a crucial characteristic in the complex procedures of aortic vascular surgery; 2) Another essential feature is the presence, on a motorized device, of anti-collision sensors which safeguard the operator and the patient from accidental impacts; 3) The monoblock system must have generator and tube assembled together, in order to produce less heating, allowing to considerably increase the scanning times and thus avoid thermal blocks of the machine, with possible even drastic consequences for the patient's health. In addition, the monobloc system allows the generation of perfectly regular and well-defined pulses which allow to drastically reduce motion artifacts and the delivered dose. In contrast to the non-monobloc system which has the generator and X-ray tube separate and connected by external high voltage cables, which have a non-negligible impedance, are responsible for motion artifacts and increased dose, as well as presenting an additional bulk of the System; 4) A real rated power of the generator equal to 25kw and not less, an indispensable requirement for complex endovascular surgery to correctly identify the endoprostheses and any radiopaque material to support the procedures, even in obese patients.

Contract Title. Home Sleep Testing the Contractor Shall Provide Home Sleep Study Supplies For The Louis Stokes Cleveland Department Of Veterans Affairs Medical Center (hereinafter Cleveland Vamc ). 3. Background. the Covid-19 Pandemic Caused A Severe Interruption In Access To Sleep Apnea Testing Within A Traditional In-patient Setting. Current Requirement And The Previous Requirements Utilized These Home Sleep Test Kits To Address This Need By Providing Home-based Sleep Studies With Minimal Life Cycle Costs. This Effort Shall Ensure A Continuation Of High-quality Sleep Apnea Testing And Care With Little To No Risk To Patients. Furthermore, This Requirement Will Allow Veterans With A Traveling Hardship To Have Easy Access To Quality Sleep Care. cleveland Va Medical Center, Sleep Section Has Been Offering For The Last Two Years Continuously Services To Many Veterans At Their Home Who Suffer From Sleep Problems. The Services Have Traditionally Been Offered At The Medical Center Va Sleep Lab Only, Where Patients Were Coming Here And Spending The Night At The Hospital. Once The Covid -19 Came Around, Providing Services At The Medical Center Became Very Difficult, Therefore Many Veterans Could Not Receive These Services. It Became Obvious That Our Medical Center Needed To Seek Other Alternatives To Provide The Service To Our Veterans. Itamar Medical Was One Of The Vendors That Offered Home Sleep Testing, Watchpat Direct, A Device That Could Provide The Same Results As The Patients Would Get If Were Seen At The Medical Center, But Now The Patients Could Get This Service From The Comfort Of Their Home. Not Only Does The Devices Offer Almost The Same Results, But They Offer Comfort, Saving Time To Drive To The Medical Center, Sleep There For The Entire Night, And Occur Many Other Unnecessary Expenses. In Addition, Utilizing Home Sleep Testing Equipment Increased The Number Of Patients That Were Using This Service. The Sleep Physician Will First Attempt To Determine The Nature Of A Sleep Problem And Its Treatment. This Includes A Sleep Diary To Track Sleep-wake Pattern, A Complete Medical History, And A Physical Examination. If The Sleep Physician Thinks That The Patient May Have Obstructive Sleep Apnea (osa), A Hypersomnia Such As Narcolepsy Or A Parasomnia Such As Sleep Walking Or Nocturnal Eating, Then He Or She Will Recommend A Sleep Study. In Most Of The Cases, The Physician Will Recommend A Home Sleep Apnea Test If He Or She Suspects That The Patient Has Sleep Apnea. 4.

The In-lab Sleep Study Records Eeg Activity, Eye Movements And Muscle Tone. The Eeg Data Tells Us How Quickly An Individual Takes To Fall Asleep, And The Presence Of Early Onset Rapid Eye Movement (rem) Sleep May Suggest Sleepiness And A Possible Disorder Of Alertness. Airflow Through The Nose And Mouth Is Recorded To Figure Out If There Are Abnormalities To Help Us Determine If Sleep Apnea Is Present. The Simultaneous Recording Of Heart Rate, Oxygen Saturation, Airflow Flow And Respiratory Effort Allows Us To Analyze The Types Of Breathing Abnormalities Present And Their Impact On Oxygenation, Cardiac Function, And Sleep Continuity. Limb Movements Are Recorded To Detect Extraneous Movements, Possible Seizure Activity And Periodic Limb Movements Of Sleep. The In-lab Sleep Study Is Recorded On Video So That Sleep Talking, And Unusual Behaviors May Be Documented. Home Sleep Apnea Tests Collect Almost The Same Data Through Home Sleep System, Which Uses Pat Amplitude And Pulse Rate To Differentiate Between Non-rem And Rem Therefore Creating A Sleep Architecture. In Addition, Home Sleep System Would Provide The Added Value Of Detecting Rem Related Sleep Apnea With Rem And Non-rem Ahi. The Home Sleep System Does Not Use Nasal Cannulas Which Fall Out And Create Unnecessary Efforts For The Patients And Unreliable And Faulty Results At Times. 5.
