PURCHASE DESCRIPTION

1. Statement of Need and Purpose: The purpose of this acquisition is to upgrade the sleep laboratory. NIH requires four (4) in-lab systems to replace the existing four (4) bed laboratory, (2 beds on 7SW-N, and 2 beds on 7SE-N). In addition, two (2) portable sleep systems are needed that can acquire sleep data at any bed within the clinical center. Two (2) reading stations are also needed where sleep data are reviewed and interpreted.

2. Background Information and Objective:

NIMH is replacing aging acquisition systems that are approaching five years and which experienced a total systems failure from 09/2019 – 01/2020. The existing systems are on a Windows Vista OS and a Windows 10 version is not available. NIH IT and

Microsoft no longer support Windows Vista.

The sleep service currently has no system for simultaneous measurement of greater than 32 individual “channels” or pieces of data. NIH’s current need is for 40 and the

Natus Embla NDx sleep acquisition system allows for up to 92, which gives NIH room to expand.
