3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: The MRidium 3860+ MRI IV Infusion System meets the demanding clinical needs of today’s patients, by allowing continuous delivery of fluids and medication throughout the MRI care cycle. The non-magnetic design allows the MRidium infusion pump to operate safely in ultra-high magnetic fields without the need for workarounds typically required with traditional infusion pumps. The Iradimed MRIdium 3960+ Infusion Pump is proprietary to the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), Iradimed. Iradimed’ s MRIdium 3860+ Infusion Pump is the only infusion pump compatible for use with existing infusion pump systems currently in place at VAMC West Roxbury. The Iradimed brand is the world’s only Non-Magnetic MRI Infusion pump. The MRidium 3860+ infusion pump system incorporates a non-magnetic motor and non-ferrous components to ensure the safe and predictable delivery of IV fluids, such as anesthesia, during MRI procedures. With a wide range of infusion rates, the system can be used to sedate patients for an MRI or deliver sustained medications for critically ill patients. The device includes Iradimed’ s Dose Error Reduction System (DERS) software, which enhances patient safety and makes it easier for caregivers to administer intravenous meds. The software allows users to program a drug library for each patient and to set up hard and soft limits for the dose and concentration of drugs. This is the only FDA approved i-med pump which is compatible with the MRI environment. Since this requirement is above $25,000 a Sources Sought, Notice was published to Contract Opportunities on 06/20/2023 to 06/27/2023, however 0 responses were received.
