The Alaska Area Native Health Service intends to procure the following requirements as a sole source acquisition from Invivo Research Inc, 12601 Research Pkwy, Orlando, FL 32826-3226: 3100 Omnitrak MRI (PMS) Patient Monitoring System with 3112-1 End-Tidal CO2 Analyzer plus Accessories. It is good practice for all patients undergoing magnetic resonance examinations to be visually and/or verbally monitored. All patients who are sedated, anesthetized, or, for whatever reason, unable to communicate readily with the imager operator and/or accompanying personnel should be physiologically monitored by appropriate means. This includes physiologic monitoring of respiration, heart rate, blood pressure, and/or electrocardiographic output, as clinically indicated. If this monitoring is to be achieved by electrical and/or mechanical devices, it is important that MR compatibility (patient safety and performance of the device and the MR system) be demonstrated by prior testing, manufacture declaration, and/or clearance by a recognized authorizing body such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). At the present time the Invivo Research 3100 Omnitrak MRI (PMS) Patient Monitoring System with 3112-1 End-Tidal CO2 Analyzer is the only system of this type that is FDA approved, it is also the standard of care in the other medical facilities with MRI's in the Anchorage area.
