HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 11032015 - C.74RECOMMENDATION(S):
Approve and authorize the Purchasing Agent on behalf, of the Health Services Department, to execute a Purchase
Order with Polymedco Cancer Diagnostic Products, LLC., in the amount of $120,000 to purchase reagents and
supplies to perform immunochemical fecal occult blood testing for the Clinical Laboratory at Contra Costa Regional
Medical Center (CCRMC), for the period October 1, 2015 through September 31, 2016.
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, turnips, 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 patient testing
for colorectal cancer.
