RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of the Health Services Department, to execute a Purchase Order with Water Mark Medical, Inc., in the amount of $216,000, for the rental of Ares Home Sleep Testing (HST), Sleep Apnea Evaluation Systems at Contra Costa Medical Center and Health Centers, for the period from September 1, 2015 through August 31, 2016.

FISCAL IMPACT:

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

BACKGROUND:

There has been an increase in the number of patients needing to be tested to rule out Obstructive Sleep Apnea. This increase has been caused by not only the general recognition of the disorder, but also the delay caused by the testing only being conducted in one location (Martinez). The additional devices will be taken to other service areas.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this purchase order is not approved, there will be a delay of the patients that need to be tested.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
