Please confirm all clinical staff can be trained on weekdays between 8am and 5pm. If off-shift training is needed, please clarify VA’s specific needs. We do not know this number yet as they are still hiring FTE. Plan on at least 5-10 personnel.

Q2. Clinical Support upon first patient use is not mentioned in the solicitation. Does VA expect clinical support during go live with first patient use? Not at this time. Install needs to be complete by first patient day.

11. Section 1.2 B.2 Statement of Work/Salient Characteristics, Security and Confidentiality Question: We note that this solicitation requires the bedside monitor to have capability of being used as a standalone monitor or as a networked monitor. However, the solicitation is not clear of the proposed deployment model or the clinical use model.

They just want the MX450. These are supposed to be standalone because there will be another system that will be used that is networked.

We note the solicitation currently includes the bedside monitor and monitor components which are required for the monitor to operate as a standalone monitor. However, it does not include the required equipment (PIC iX System and Infrastructure) to utilize the monitor in a networked manner. This is going to be on a separate device that is being purchased separately.

We do acknowledge that the Philips Monitor can be initially configured to operate as a standalone monitor and with additional technical services, can be reconfigured at a later date to operate as a networked monitor when the PIC iX System is acquired or made available.

Please clarify the Network Connection requirement. These will not be networked.

Please provide the planned technical deployment model (standalone, networked). Standalone.

If a networked deployment model is planned, please provide the details indicating how the networking is to be achieved. These are not networked.

Please identify the location where each of the 5 Patient Monitors with Roll Stands are to be installed. These are going into the interventional radiology system.

Dataflow to the EMR is not referenced in the Solicitation. Please confirm if dataflow to the EMR is included in the scope of work. If it is included, please provide the SOW. This is not needed at this point.

12. Section 1.2 B.2 Statement of Work/Salient Characteristics, Salient Characteristics Under Salient Characteristics, CLIN 1: IR Physio Monitors, 4-wave, indicates the monitor is required to have capability to display up to 6 waves simultaneously and cites dimensions more closely aligned with the MX500. However, Section 1.3 B.3, Item 0001 names the MX450 monitor.

Please note:

The MX450 provides maximum monitoring capability of 4 waves.

The MX500 provides maximum monitoring capability of 6 waves.

Both the MX450 and MX500 can monitor 4 waves. Only the MX500 can support monitoring 6 waves.

Monitor Model

Dimensions (Weight)

*Dimensions and weight were taken from the MX450 and MX500 (sw rel P )Technical Data Sheets.

Q1: Please clarify, does VA require the monitor to have maximum of 4 wave or 6 wave capability?

MX450 is what is expected. Not the MX500.

13. CLIN 3 Salient Characteristics indicates CO2 monitoring is required and implies understanding that Cardiac Output monitoring hardware is optional.

Question: Please confirm that VA does not require cardiac output hardware with this action. This is not needed.

14. Section 1.3 B.3 Price/Cost Schedule, 1.3.1, Item Information The SpO2 Adapter Cable and Blood Pressure Cable is noted on the item schedule. However, the SpO2 sensors and Blood Pressure Cuffs which are required components are not included.
