The purpose of this notice is to notify interested parties that pursuant to Rule 6A-14.0734(2)(e), Florida Department of Education, State Board of Education, Procurement Requirements for Community Colleges, Broward College intends to make a non-competitive award for the goods or services, as stated below.

GOODS OR SERVICES REQUIRED

The College’s Health Sciences Department requests the purchase of the Respiratory Simulation Solution by INGMAR MEDICAL LLC that has been utilized widely in many major schools, hospitals, clinics, and institutions in the United States of America. The system is designed to provide comprehensive simulation training built around the world’s most realistic breathing simulator.

The Respiratory Simulator by INGMAR MEDICAL LLC offers a comprehensive and integrated solution for respiratory and ventilation training on various patient populations, a CoARC accreditation standard requirement. The bundled package includes a high-fidelity manikin, patient monitors, and the ASL 5000 breathing simulator, along with additional components like software, tablet, scenarios, technical support, and a 1-year warranty. Because it is purchased as a bundle, it provides a cost-effective solution for educational programs as opposed to other manufacturers who only sell ala carte. This equipment will be used by 1st and 2nd year Respiratory Care students in the Respiratory Care Program on North Campus, Building 41, prior to attending off-campus clinicals.

With RespiPro®, INGMAR MEDICAL LLC has an all-in-one respiratory simulation solution that enables intuitive, interactive, and highly effective training. This package combines the ASL 5000® Breathing Simulator, the RespiSim® Software, the RespiPro® Manikin, and the RespiPro® Mobile Cart. All the components, including a 12” Windows Tablet and 24” Learner Display, are contained on a mobile cart for a compact, highly efficient ventilator management training workstation. With these components, students are immersed in a true-to-life environment where they can practice information gathering and decision making by utilizing the monitored data and waveforms on a real ventilator as well as other relevant assessments including chest rise, lung, heart and bowel sounds, x-rays, ABG values, and vitals.

Additionally, training with a respiratory therapist as well as RespiSim® Scenarios are included to help instructors with their simulations.
