The NHLBI does not intend to award a contract on the basis of responses nor otherwise pay for the preparation of any information submitted. As a result of this Sources Sought notice, the NHLBI may issue a Request for Quote (RFQ). There is no solicitation available at this time. However, should such a requirement materialize, no basis for claims against NHLBI shall arise as a result of a response to this Sources Sought notice or the NHLBI's use of such information as either part of our evaluation process or in developing specifications for any subsequent requirement.

Background: NHLBI requires an MRI compatible video monitoring system which allows MRI technicians to monitor patients undergoing MRI procedures. Video monitoring will reduce radio frequency electromagnetic radiation that a window to the MRI room would cause. Since there are no windows between the control room and the scan room, the system will provide the only visual contact between the technician and the patient. A high quality system must be used because a low quality system could compromise patient safety.

Telephoto video system that focuses on patient within bore of the magnet. d. Camera from the rear of the scanner. 2. Remote monitoring of all video cameras: a. At least one large screen display, 40 inch diagonal or larger, installed above MRI technician scanner console, that can display all camera angles simultaneously. b. Second remote screen display installed in nurses' office on other side of scanner. c. Video camera output that can be displayed on more than one LCD monitor. 3. Radio Frequency Shielding: a. Adequate shielding to prevent radio frequency and other noise on the MRI scanner (1.5T or 3T). 4. Compatibility: a. Compatible with the Siemens Magnetom Skyra MRI system. 5. Training: a. The contractor shall provide training to MRI technicians on the proper use of the video monitoring system. 6. Warranty: a. The contractor shall provide at least a one (1) year warranty. 7. Authorized Reseller: a. The contractor shall provide a letter from the manufacturer stating that they are an authorized reseller of the equipment.
