HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 11032015 - C.77RECOMMENDATION(S):
Approve and authorize the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of the Health Services Department, to execute a purchase
order with Biomerieux, Inc. for $122,559 to purchase the upgrade of the Vitek 2XL, Vitek 2XL cart and Observa
Ultra Lite for Vitek 2 for the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and the Contra Costa Health Centers.
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% budgeted in the Hospital Enterprise Fund I.
BACKGROUND:
The Vitek 2XL is an automated microbiology instrument providing bacterial identification and susceptibility testing
for the clinical laboratory at CCRMC. The Identification (ID) is used for naming the organism in a patient’s sample
and the Antibiotic Susceptibility Testing (AST) helps determine which antibiotics to use to treat patients. This
enables the testing to go significantly faster, which allows for rapid same day reporting.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The CCRMC Clinical Laboratory will not be able to perform patient testing in a timely manner and the current
equipment won’t be able to keep up with the demand.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Not applicable.
