LivaNova USA, Inc has an exclusive Authorized Distributor Agreement with Veterans Healthcare Supply Solutions (VHSS) and the Essenz Perfusion System is the only non-obsolete system compatible with the current SORIN S5 H-L Machines used in JAHVH open-heart surgical and cath lab procedures due to the SORIN S5 H-L Machine. VHSS is an SDVOSB entity and the only SDVOSB entity authorized to distribute SORIN/LivaNova USA, Inc products. The VA currently has a Mandatory Use NEC Contract in place for the SORIN S5 H-L Machine under Contract 36C10G22D0002, which is the rationale for all VHA Services being required to purchase the SORIN S5 H-L Machine to support all Cardiotharacic Surgery Departments.

Purchasing the Essenz Perfusion System from VHSS will reduce the need for additional training and supplies in that the Essenz is a product of current vendor Sorin/LivaNova USA, Inc. It is imperative that the Service receive the Essenz Perfusion System such that all Perfusionists are fully trained on the new System and that will be a seamless transition with uninterrupted service for our critical Veteran population who are dependent on this life-sustaining device during critical open heart surgical procedures.

The Essenz Perfusion System is the only non-obsolete system with the capability to interface with current devices being used in the open-heart operating suite in addition to two (2) Certified Cardiovascular Perfusionist already trained on the LivaNova Heart-Lung Systems. The Perfusionists only require training of system upgrades between the current SORIN S5 H-L Machine and the Essenz Perfusion System.
