6525-- MEDICAL ULTRASOUND PARACENTESIS TRAINER, PACERMAN SYSTEM FOR EDUCATION

The Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking a Medical Ultrasound Paracentesis Trainer, PacerMan System for Education. The system should be a high-fidelity trainer that allows for hands-on training on temporary transvenous cardiac pacing, including diagnosis, capture, and sensing. The system should have sensor technology, be ultrasound compatible, and have the ability for fluid aspiration. It should also communicate with a patient monitor in real-time, assess waveforms, and manipulate pacer settings. The system should provide training on both asynchronous and synchronous pacing modes and present real-time vital signs. Key features of the system include: • Durable replaceable tissue • All-in-one system (manikin, laptop, with software to run the manikin and display waveforms) • System responds to manipulation of pulse and pacing thresholds • Has both mechanical and electrical capture • Has real-time vitals including HR, ABP, NIBP, and SPO2 • Defibrillator for transcutaneous pacing and transition of care • ECG tracing presents intracardiac location waveforms to confirm catheter positioning • Scenario-based training: Instructor mode includes common, native rhythms/settings for transcutaneous and transvenous threshold, and multiple outcomes. Student mode allows hands-on self-guided training
