About this file
This is a Statement of Need for the procurement of a point-of-care ultrasound system for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Clinical Center's Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU). The NIH requires the acquisition, delivery, installation, and training for one Sonosite LX ultrasound system equipped with five specialty transducers: C5-1, L19-5, P5-1, C10-3, and P11-3. The system must be a portable, healthcare-grade imaging platform capable of high-resolution 2D imaging with Color, Power, Pulsed Wave, and Continuous Wave Doppler capabilities, Tissue Harmonic Imaging, needle enhancement technology, DICOM connectivity, and secure wireless communication. A minimum five-year comprehensive manufacturer warranty covering both the system and transducers is required.
The ultrasound system will support rapid bedside assessment and management of critically ill neonatal and pediatric patients in the PICU, facilitating real-time diagnostic imaging and ultrasound-guided procedures including vascular access, cardiac assessment, lung evaluation, abdominal imaging, and musculoskeletal examinations. The procurement includes manufacturer installation, end-user training, and integrated educational resources to ensure successful implementation and long-term operational reliability. FUJIFILM Sonosite is identified as the recognized industry leader in point-of-care ultrasound technology with extensive experience supporting critical care environments.
