RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of the Health Services Department, to execute a Purchase Order with Watermark Medical, Inc., in the amount of $216,000 for the rental of the Ares Home Sleep Apnea Evaluation Systems at the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and Contra Costa Health Centers, for the period of November 1, 2016 through October 31, 2017.

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 general recognition of the disorder, as well as the fact that testing was being conducted in only one location, CCRMC. The additional devices will be utilized at the Health Centers.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this Purchase Order is not approved there will be delays in testing patients.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
