The Pyxis Anesthesia System automates medication system management in the OR and procedure areas. The Pyxis Anesthesia system 4000 supports rapid access to anesthesia medications and supplies. The system securely stores items in OR and procedure rooms where they are needed and offers customizable workflows. Specifically designed for anesthesia providers, the system electronically captures information on medication removals, wastes and charges, reducing time-consuming manual tasks. The Pyxis Anesthesia system 4000 also helps protect providers against unauthorized access to controlled substances with new advanced biometric technology, a new controlled access drawer for larger, bulkier medications like propofol, and secure pockets that safely store medications that are prepared in advance of a case.

The Cleveland VAMC is currently constructing two new hybrid rooms in the OR which will require use of additional Pyxis Anesthesia Systems. In addition, currently OR 8 does not have a system.

Three total systems are being requested to allow each OR room to be have the appropriate equipment available.

VetBiz, NAC, FSS, GSA ADVANTAGE, and GOOGLE were used to search for equipment to meet the needs of this requirement. Similar equipment to the recommended equipment was found, however, utilizing such equipment would require substantial duplication of cost the Department of Veterans https://www.acquisition.gov/?q=/browse/far/13
