1. Description of the supplies and/or services required to meet the end-user's minimum needs :

The suction regulators should at least have the following:

1. Flow Rate

Inte1mittent: 0-16 L/min (preset at 8 L/min per ASTM) Continuous: 0-80 L/min (not adjustable) without fittings at full increase

2. Timing

Easily adjustable without cover or gauge removal Silent ON/OFF Intermittent timing: 15 seconds ON; 8 seconds OFF(± 3 seconds) Begins in the "ON" mode

3. Vacuum Range

0-26. 7 kPa (0 to 200 mmHg) and full available wall vacuum

4. Gauge Accuracy ± 5% Full Scale Deflection or± 1.3 kPa (10 nunHg)

5. Push To Set Setting

To avoid accidental increases in pressure, a necessary safety feature especially for neonates

2. Estimated value of the requirement:

Each equipment will cost around units of the said equipment.

for a total of for 85 individual

3. Contractor's unique qualifications which make him/her the ONLY source that can trnly satisfy the Govemment' s minimum requirements:

Push-To-Set Intennittent Suction Regulators combine a manual option as well as a pneumatic logic device to turn the suction on and off automatically. The push to set option eliminates the manual process of occluding the patient tubing when setting pressure. This prevents pressure related injuries such as lung de-recruitment and mucosal injury. This also prevents accidental pressure increases that can hmt the neonate.
