Lot Information

Ultrasound Gels

Ultrasound Gel is a conductive medium designed to be applied to a patient's unbroken skin surface to provide a coupling between an analytical device (e.g., ultrasound transducer, optical glucose monitoring system) and the patient, allowing for the emission and reception of signals (e.g., ultrasound, light) that pass through the skin during an examination. It is in the form of a non-sticky, fluid-like gel that may also assists the operator's ability to move the analytical device smoothly over the skin to better analyse the site of interest. It may be used by a healthcare professional or layperson. After application, this device cannot be reused. Additional information: Precise quantities are unknown. It is anticipated that initial expenditure will be in the region of PS650,000 in the first year for Lot 1 of this Framework Agreement, however this is approximate only and the values may vary depending on the requirements of those bodies purchasing under the Framework Agreement.

Options: This Framework Agreement will have the option to extend incrementally for a period up to 48 months.

Adult ECG Electrodes

Adult ECG Electrodes are a non-invasive electrical conductor designed to conduct electrical signals, generated by a patient's heart, from the skin surface to an electrocardiograph (ECG) monitoring device, via an ECG lead wire (not included). It is typically a disk-like electrode that is affixed to the skin with a special adhesive, or adhesive tape, and a conductive gel (some are pre-gelled), or using a suction mechanism; alternatively, some types may be designed to be attached to hand-held heart rate meters. Electrocardiography (ECG) is usually performed using a set of electrodes (e.g., 12) connected to appropriate leads and cables. This is a single-patient use device. Additional information: Precise quantities are unknown. It is anticipated that initial expenditure will be in the region of PS7,000,000 in the first year for Lot 2 of this Framework Agreement, however this is approximate only and the values may vary depending on the requirements of those bodies purchasing under the Framework Agreement.

Options: This Framework Agreement will have the option to extend incrementally for a period up to 48 months.

Paediatric / Neonatal ECG Electrodes are a non-invasive electrical conductor designed to conduct electrical signals, generated by a patient's heart, from the skin surface to an electrocardiograph (ECG) monitoring device, via an ECG lead wire (not included). It is typically a disk-like electrode that is affixed to the skin with a special adhesive, or adhesive tape, and a conductive gel (some are pre-gelled), or using a suction mechanism; alternatively, some types may be designed to be attached to hand-held heart rate meters. Electrocardiography (ECG) is usually performed using a set of electrodes (e.g., 12) connected to appropriate leads and cables. This is a single-patient use device. Additional information: Precise quantities are unknown. It is anticipated that initial expenditure will be in the region of PS500,000 in the first year for Lot 3 of this Framework Agreement, however this is approximate only and the values may vary depending on the requirements of those bodies purchasing under the Framework Agreement.

Options: This Framework Agreement will have the option to extend incrementally for a period up to 48 months.

Neurology Electrodes, Needles and Cables

This Lot includes Neurology Electrodes which are applied to the scalp, used to detect activity from cells within the brain, these are then transmitted to a monitoring or diagnostic device which can visualise the data. An array of analytical scalp electrodes preconfigured within a head-worn device designed for the rapid placement and appropriate positioning of the scalp electrodes during electroencephalography (EEG), electromyogram (EMG), Electrophysiology (EP) or Polysomnography (PSG). It typically consists of a cap with integrated (and often removable) scalp electrodes, and shielded lead wires that terminate into a connector that mates with a separate cable. The device eliminates the need to glue or paste individual electrodes to the patient's scalp. This is a single-patient use device. Additional information: Precise quantities are unknown. It is anticipated that initial expenditure will be in the region of PS500,000 in the first year for Lot 4 of this Framework Agreement, however this is approximate only and the values may vary depending on the requirements of those bodies purchasing under the Framework Agreement.

Options: This Framework Agreement will have the option to extend incrementally for a period up to 48 months.

Pre-Wired Electrodes

This Lot includes Pre-wired Electrodes. Pre-wired Electrodes are devices which are applied to the skin and transfer the electrical activity produced by the heart to a monitoring or diagnostic device which is capable of visualising the data. Additional information: Precise quantities are unknown.
