RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute, on behalf of the Health Services Director, a purchase order with Abbott Laboratories, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $150,000 to purchase reagents and supplies needed for the I-Stat Handheld Analyzer for the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and the Contra Costa Health Centers for the period from September 1, 2018 through August 31, 2021.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% funding is included in the Hospital Enterprise Fund I budget.

BACKGROUND:

Abbott Laboratories, Inc., has been CCRMC’s primary supplier for single use cartridges for the lactic acid test. The integrated Nurses Leadership Program Cohort on Sepsis Mortality Reduction Project has requested a 10 minute turn-around time for lactic acid results ordered on patients with possible sepsis. The I-Stat Analyzer with the single use cartridge can perform testing in 3 minutes.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this Purchase Order is not approved, the CCRMC Clinical Laboratory will not be able to obtain timely results for lactic acid tests ordered by our medical staff, which could affect patient care.
