About this file
This file is an attachment containing Minimum Technical Requirements (MTRs) for anesthesia units to be included in the Department of Veterans Affairs National Equipment Catalog. The anesthesia units must be FDA-cleared and equipped with safety features including diameter-indexed safety systems (DISS) for pipeline connections, hypoxic mixture fail-safe controls maintaining minimum 21% oxygen in breathing mixtures, and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) support with volume and pressure control ventilation modes. Respiratory specifications require frequency settings of 3-100 breaths per minute and inspiratory gas flow ranges of 1-180 L/min, with high-pressure alarms and selectable threshold levels in the patient breathing circuit.
The equipment must integrate with Oracle Health's Care Aware Platform or provide validated integration with specified anesthesia record-keeping systems (iMDsoft IntelliSpace Critical Care and Anesthesia, Picis Anesthesia Manager, or Innovian Anesthesia) and patient monitor manufacturers (General Electric, Philips, Spacelabs, or Nihon Koden). Additional requirements include continuous End Tidal CO2 monitoring for intubated patients, internal battery backup of at least 30 minutes for automated ventilators, gas cylinder yokes for O2 tank connection, FIPS 140-2 or 140-3 certification for 802.11 networking, and minimum one-year warranty covering parts and labor from acceptance. All anesthesia unit packages must be severable to allow separate pricing of components including freight, warranty, training, maintenance support, and technical support.

Anesthesia Units – Non Expendable Equipment Catalog Minimum Technical Requirements
MTR 1 - The anesthesia units must be cleared by the Food & Drug Administration (FDA).
MTR 2 – The anesthesia units’ pipeline connections must have a diameter-indexed safety system (DISS) or other equivalent means to prevent connection of dangerous gasses.
MTR 3 – The anesthesia units must have a hypoxic mixture fail-safe system control to prevent the unit from being set to dispense a hypoxic mixture. The N2O and O2 flow must be interlocked in ratio proportions with a minimum value of 21% to produce a breathing mixture.
MTR 4 – The anesthesia units’ ventilation modes must support continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) volume and pressure control.
MTR 5 – The anesthesia units’ respirator frequency must be able to be set within a range of 3-100 breaths per minute.
MTR 6 – The anesthesia unit’s ventilator inspiratory gas flow range must be between 1-180 L/min.
MTR 7 – The anesthesia unit’s monitors must include a continuing pressure alarm capable of sensing high gas pressure and include minimum selectable threshold levels in the patient’s breathing circuit.
MTR 8 – Integration:
Must be validated with Oracle Health’s Care Aware Platform to support integration for the proposed anesthesia units or such validation must be in progress/under review. Or at a minimum provide integration to the following Anesthesia Record Keeping Systems currently used within VHA:
· iMDsoft
· IntelliSpace Critical Care and Anesthesia (ICCA)
· Picis Anesthesia Manager
· Innovian® Anesthesia
And at a minimum provide integration to the following Patient Monitor Manufacturers currently used within VHA:
· General Electric (GE)
· Philips
· Spacelabs
· Nihon Koden
MTR 9 – The anesthesia unit shall provide continuous monitoring of End Tidal CO2 (ETCO2) levels for all intubated patients. This can be accomplished via an integrated ETCO2 monitor or with a separate standalone monitoring device.
MTR 10 – The anesthesia unit packages must be severable such that separately priced items can be purchased to complete bundles (to include freight, warranty, training, maintenance support, and technical support).
MTR 11 – The anesthesia unit shall have an internal battery (for units with automatic ventilators) capable of powering the unit for at least 30 minutes.
MTR 12 – The anesthesia unit shall have gas cylinder yokes for O2 tank connection if central O2 supplies fail.
MTR 13 – If 802.11 networking is utilized the proposed system must be FIPS 140-2 or 140-3 certified or currently undergoing certification review.
MTR 14 – Standard Commercial Warranty applies to include a minimum of one (1) year parts and labor from time of acceptance (for each system)
