RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute, on behalf of the Health Services Director, a purchase order with Beckman Coulter, Inc., in the amount of $253,395 to procure the CellaVision DM9600 for the clinical laboratory at the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and Health Centers.

FISCAL IMPACT:

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

BACKGROUND:

The clinical laboratory needs to purchase the CellaVision DM9600 in order to process blood smears and body fluids. This analyzer helps automate the digital workflow for cell morphology for increased efficiency. The current machine is out-of-date and needs to be upgraded. It was decided to purchase rather than lease the equipment because the vendor is also providing three more analyzers at no cost, resulting in a savings of approximately $250,000, and providing reagents at a discounted price.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this purchase order is not approved, the CCRMC Clinical Laboratory will not be able to perform patient testing.
