Requirement Description:
VA has a requirement to purchase Patient Temperature Management Systems to deliver patient care at its VA Medical Centers around the country. The Patient Temperature Management Systems in this requirement circulate warm or cold liquid through channels to raise, lower, or maintain a patient's body temperature. The system allows clinicians to control and stabilize a patient s body temperature by programing it to heat or cool fluid in the disposable large pads or blankets. They are used to warm hypothermic patients or to cool feverish patients and are frequently used to induce mild hypothermia during neurosurgery or in patients who have experienced a stroke or cardiac arrest. Induced hypothermia lowers a patient's metabolism and has been shown to have neuroprotective effects. Preventing heat loss and hypothermia during other surgical procedures helps reduce the risk of pressure damage and wound infection due to decreased circulation.
