HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 10062015 - C.79RECOMMENDATION(S):
Approve and Authorize the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of the Health Services Department, to execute an amendment
to Purchase Order #53808 with Polymedco Cancer Diagnostic Products, LLC., to add $16,000 for a new total of
$115,000 for reagents and supplies to perform immunochemical fecal occult blood testing for the Clinical Laboratory
at the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC), with no change in the original term of October 1, 2014
through September 31, 2015.
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% funding is included in the Hospital Enterprise Fund I Budget.
BACKGROUND:
Polymedco’s OC-Auto Micro 80 Analyzer with FOBT-CHECKoc reagents is an automated immunochemical fecal
occult blood testing system that detects human red cells only with no interferences from red meat, beets, melons,
aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs and vitamin C. This improvement directs many more of the “right” patients to
colonoscopy leading to the earlier detection of polyps and colorectal cancer.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this Purchase Order is not approved, the CCRMC Clinical Laboratory will not be able to perform additional patient
testing for colorectal cancer
