Notice Information
Notice Title
Vivid E98 (Ultra Edition)
Notice Description
The Small Animal Cardiology Services at The Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies and The Roslin Institute has received funding to replace its current cardiac ultrasound machine. As a specialist veterinary referral cardiology centre, the facility receives a high volume of cases, including cats, dogs, and sometimes exotic species. Given the diverse range of body conformations and sizes, the replacement machine must be robust and can provide exceptionally high-quality imaging. These cases range from straightforward to highly complex cardiac conditions, the functionality of a replacement machine must reflect this, with high sample rates, colour mapping, tissue Doppler imaging, strain and 3D capability.

Procurement Information
The equipment selected is GE HealthCare's Vivid E95 procured via a Non-Competitive Action due to competition being absent for technical reasons. The primary reason for selecting the Vivid E95 is its compatibility with the facility's existing library of probes and clinical imaging software. This ensures; - Existing library of probes - Seamless integration with the archive of clinical imaging. - Continuity of workflow as newly acquired studies are analysed offline, allowing detailed image analysis while new scans are conducted simultaneously. - Continuity of the current offline analysis software, as the existing software remains fully compatible. As well as the primary justification below are various points that are advantageous; - Experienced with the functionality, purchasing a newer model will ensure the transition is seamless with no need for re-training. - Current equipment is extremely reliable and received excellent technical support and replacement of parts required when required with minimal disruption to the facility. - The models are future-proofed for Microsoft upgrades and are compatible with university firewalls, our current DICOM and the proposed new VNA. The machine will be included in the pre-existing service contract for multiple GE machines on campus
