The Wilkes-Barre VA Medical Center requires a comprehensive polysomnography system to monitor veterans during sleep studies. Required capabilities include multi-channel PSG/EEG acquisition with support for EEG, EOG, EMG, ECG, respiratory effort, airflow, oxygen saturation, and body position monitoring. The system must feature high-fidelity signal sampling, synchronized HD/IR video and audio, flexible hardware configurations, enterprise-ready security with role-based access and encryption, AASM-compliant scoring workflows, HL7 interoperability with hospital systems, SQL-based scalable database capabilities, and therapy titration support for PAP interfaces. Basic functionalities required include efficient study setup with patient registration, real-time PSG data collection with automated event detection (apneas, hypopneas, arousals, limb movements), synchronized video review, configurable montages and filters, customizable reporting in Word/PDF formats, EMR/HIS integration, and administration tools for user management and centralized settings.
