About this file
This document contains the salient characteristics requirements for an echocardiogram system being procured by the 10th Contracting Squadron at the United States Air Force Academy. The system must be compatible with Imaging Systems software and include AI-enhanced cardiac imaging with touchscreen monitor, 3D modeling capabilities, DVD compatibility, extended battery life, and disabled remote desktop support for DoD security requirements.
The system requires three specific transducers: a standard echocardiogram probe for chest wall evaluation, a transesophageal probe compatible with Advantage Plus Medivator sterilization, and a continuous-wave probe for aortic valve stenosis evaluation. Additional requirements include a single-seat workstation with cardiac measurement tools, 3D dataset analysis capabilities, stress echo examination functionality, and DICOM/PACS integration. The system must have DHA Authority to Operate certification, include 1-year remote support (limited to 10 calls), 4 hours of IT installation service, 1-year software maintenance, and clinical training for 2 users. An existing Philips EPIQ 7C (serial #US315B0290) is available as an optional trade-in.

Echocardiogram Salient Characteristics:
The echocardiogram system must at minimum meet the following salient characteristics:
- The echocardiogram must be an ultrasound system compatible with an Imaging Systems software.
- The system must include AI enhanced cardiac imaging software and include a touchscreen monitor.
- The system must have the ability to replicate the model of the heart to display to patients for diagnostic discussion.
- The echocardiogram must be DVD compatible and allow for the production and burning of images onto DVDs via the software within the ultrasound system.
- The system must have and extended battery life to allow for increased mobile portability.
- Government Security - as a security requirement for the Department of Defense, the system must have remote desktop support disabled.
- The system must include the following necessary transducers to produce 3D images by the echocardiogram machine, allow for transesophageal echocardiograms, and to measure blood flow and the speed of sound in blood to help acquire aortic velocities:
o Echocardiogram probe, allowing echocardiograms to be performed via ultrasonic evaluation through chest wall o Transesophageal echocardiogram probe, allowing echocardiograms to be performed via ultrasonic evaluation through esophagus which is approved to be sterilized through an Advantage Plus Medivator with a chemical mixture of Trisodium Phosphate, Hydrogen Peroxide, Acetic Acid and Peroxyacetic Acid.
o Echocardiogram probe which allows for continuous-wave ultrasound for evaluation of aortic valve stenosis unobtainable via the transducers described above.
- English Manual - It must include an English manual.
- The system must include a single-seat workstation that includes viewing environment, Cardiac Measurements with Auto Measure, Echo Reporting, Left and Right Ventricle and Atrial Strain Measurement Analysis. This bundle will also include A 4D left ventricle Analysis tool, which enables users to analyze volume datasets. Connectivity includes the DICOM Receive (3 inputs) and DICOM PACS Archive features.
- The system must include a display package and 3D dataset cropping method of dynamic three-dimensional rendering and left ventricular (LV) volumes. MultiPlanar Reconstruction (MPR) views provide unlimited anatomical planes from 3D volume. Measures LV endocardial volumes, stroke volume (SV) and true ejection fraction (EF) using a semi-automated border detection in 3D space. Computes global and regional LV volumes based on ACC 17-segment model.
Displays global LV volume waveform and provides selective display of 17 regional volume waveforms. Offers timing assessment for each 17 minimal regional volumes and determine a synchronicity index for all volume segments or a user-selectable group of volume segments.
Provides comprehensive report with summary of synchronicity indexes and displays regional Timing and Radial Excursion Parametric Images in bull's-eye representation.
- The system must include a robust 3D quantification to everyday clinical practice. This anatomically intelligent cardiac application automatically detects, segments, and quantifies the left ventricle (LV) and left atrium (LA) from a Live 3D volume. It provides automated 2D views and reproducible quantification across users and over time, with the workflow efficiency to facilitate faster exams for the robust measurement of cardiac function necessary for management of patients with chronic disease.
- The system must include an analysis package that will provide all functions for the analysis of stress echo examinations. Stress echo loops are either displayed by view or stage. In addition, two stage exercise stress echo studies are displayed in the "Shuffle" mode. The segmental assessment of wall motion is performed using intuitive graphics which are updated automatically based on the current image selection.
- A generic reporting package for which the reporting content can be readily adapted to customer needs. Measurements are automatically transferred from the U/S modality.
o Easy Access to common clinical findings o Empty drawing, access to images by drag and drop o QuickFill, side by side dynamic preview of report contents
- The system must include a highly customizable rule engine. That enables Datacenter to execute performance sensitive workflows like HL7 messaging, routing studies via DICOM or archiving of studies. While using custom triggers the rule execution can start automatically in the background. This reduces work steps in the daily routine. Where the PACS does not accept 3D data or DICOM encapsulated PDF files it is possible to perform DICOM SOP Class specific archiving. In addition, Communication Manager allows to schedule archiving actions to further reduce the workload during daytime.
- The system must include remote Support 1yr, Yearly support including hotline and application support, analysis and repair of malfunctions and disturbances. Limited to 10 calls per year.
- The software must have a current Authority to Operate (ATO) authorized by Defense Health Agency (DHA) to safely be utilized on DHA networks.
- The system must include IT Software Installation service - approximately 4 hours
- The system must include software Maintenance for a minimum of 1 year
- The system must include clinical app training for a minimum of 2 users
(Optional) The current echocardiogram system, a Philips EPIQ 7C serial #US315B0290, will be offered as a trade in.
