The Jesse Brown VA Medical Center Vascular Lab, located in Chicago, Illinois 60612-4223 has a need to acquire (4) Parks Medical Electronics Model 2100 SX-2 Computerized FLO-LABs. The Vascular Lab Surgical Service is requesting the purchase of Quantity 4 Parks Flo Lab Model 2100 SX-2 machines to replace the existing Parks Flo machines in the Vascular Lab. These are noninvasive physiologic arterial diagnostic machines essential for discovering the presence and severity of arterial disease. They provide specialized diagnostics for vascular disease for lower extremity arterial physiologic studies. These machines are used 8-10 times per day.
The current machines are at end of life, but are also Windows XP based machines which are mandated to be phased out of the VA. The lab currently has two machines which Biomed is able to provide only limited servicing for and they are glitchy when using and cannot be turned off as they lose the time and date. These machines are what we are using now, and these need to be replaced ASAP.
