Title of Project: NeuroStar Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) Treatment Sessions

Scope of Work:

The vendor shall provide all resources necessary to accomplish the deliverables described in this statement of need (SON), except as may otherwise be specified. Contractor shall provide 1,100 Treatment Session to be upload onto the existing NeuroStar Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) System and deliver within 30-days from the date of notice of contract award to the Lebanon Veterans Medical Center.

NeuroStar TMS is a non-invasive neuromodulation therapy. The repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is applied to the dorso-lateral prefrontal cortex, inducing a magnetic field, resulting in depolarization of the neurons and the modulation of the neural circuitry involved in emotional regulation and symptoms of depression. In 2008 the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the first TMS device for a therapeutic indication: the NeuroStar was approved for treatment of medication-refractory depression. During the TMS treatment the patients are awake and can resume their normal activities immediately after the treatment. NeuroStar TMS System is a product owned by Neuronetics, Inc.

Background:

The Lebanon VA Medical Center (LVAMC) has an urgent need for the purchase of Treatment Session Cards for the NeuroStar Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) System to address the Behavioral Health and Science (BH&S) population with a diagnosis of Depression. LVAMC currently uses the Neurostar TMS Therapy system to treat BH&S patients with a diagnosis of depression. Around 33% of the BH&S population has a diagnosis of depression. Neuronetics is the sole manufacturer and distributer of Neurostar. LVAMC need additional treatment sessions cards to be loaded onto the Neurostar TMS device. The sessions allow the device to deliver the magnetic waves to the patient for treatment of depression. We are looking to purchase 1100 additional treatment sessions for the system for FY19 based on the clinic capacity to see 5 patients per day.
