RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Purchasing Agent on behalf, of the Health Services Department, to execute a Purchase Order with Abbott Laboratories, Inc., in the amount of $120,000 to purchase reagents and supplies needed for the IStat Handheld Analyzer for the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and the Contra Costa Health Centers for the period September 1, 2015 to August 31, 2018.

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 IStat 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 result the lactic acid test in a timely manner, which could potentially affect patient care.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
