STATEMENT OF WORK

Cosmed Quark PFT Lung Function Laboratory

Background

· The NJ VA HCS is requesting the Cosmed Quark CPET Metabolic Testing System to replace current equipment that is nearing the end of its lifecycle. Prior equipment was previously purchased approximately 10 years ago and is no longer under warranty. By replacing the modular components of this system, we can ensure delivery of state-of-the-art cardiopulmonary function testing ability for our Veterans, and ensure that our equipment is highly reliable. As a national VA Center of Excellence – the VA’s Airborne Hazards and Burn Pits Center of Excellence (AHBPCE) at the New Jersey War Related Illness and Injury Study Center (WRIISC) must be able to ensure they are providing the best quality assessments.

· Over the past 10+ years, we have built two cardiopulmonary function testing suites (all equipment from COSMED) that is modular. This allows to replace/upgrade components as needed. We have worked with sterile processing services to ensure that disinfection/cleaning of COSMED-related equipment is appropriate and safe and we have also worked with VA OIT to procure COSMED’s integrated software that is approved for use within the VA IT environment. Therefore, the Cosmed Quark CPET Metabolic Testing System being requested is an extension of and integrates with our current/existing Cosmed cardiopulmonary equipment, supplies and disposable equipment.
