HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 05072013 - C.70RECOMMENDATION(S):
Approve and authorize the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of Health Services Department, to execute a Purchase Order
with Werfen USA, LLC., in the amount of $413,275, for the lease and upgrade of one ACL TOP 500 analyzer and
the lease of one previously upgraded ACL TOP 500 analyzer, to perform various tests on patients at Contra Costa
Regional Medical Center and Contra Costa Health Clinics (CCRMC), for the period from May 1, 2013 through April
30, 2018.
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% Enterprise Fund I.
BACKGROUND:
CCRMC uses the ACL TOP 500 analyzers to perform various tests on patients. One of the ACL TOP 500 analyzers
has already been upgraded. The other ACL TOP 500 analyzer was purchased back in 2006 and is now past its useful
life, thus requiring an upgrade in order to be used.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this Purchase Order is not approved CCRMC will have to continue to use the old ACL TOP 500 analyzer, which
will impact patient care. The upgraded ACL TOP 500 analyzer requires less intervention by the Clinical Laboratory
Scientist.
