Pershing VA Medical Center GENERAL INFORMATION The Nuclear Medicine service at John J. Pershing VA Medical Center (VAMC) in Poplar Bluff, MO will better serve its Veterans by acquiring this Thyroid Uptake System with Well Counting System with 2 Inch Well Shielding, a multi-purpose spectrum analysis instrument designed for diverse nuclear medicine applications. The system performs Uptake studies, wipe tests, and other user-defined tasks that are accomplished with speed and precision using this fully integrated computer-controlled instrument and its comprehensive selection of application software. Engineered for mobility, durability and operational efficiency, the unit handles clinical tests, safety compliance tasks, and system administration procedures quickly and accurately. Built-in menus follow conventionally established nuclear medicine procedures, providing step-by-step guidance throughout defined procedures. The system automatically performs calculations, stores patient information and test results, and outputs clear, concise reports. User-defined uptake protocols can be initiated. SCOPE Delivery of the Thyroid Uptake system will allow a bioassay program for quick and efficient measurement of the staff thyroid burden for radiopharmaceuticals, I-123, I-125 and I-131. Measurement results can be reported in cpm, dpm, uCi, or Bq. Action levels may be set by the user for each isotope. System reporting facilitates single bioassay report, summary of multiple bioassays on an individual staff member, and summary report on multiple staff members. Reports are easily printed or saved as PDF files. The Thyroid Uptake program supports multiple time-stamped uptake measurements, auto decay correction, user-defined uptake protocols, on-screen spectrum acquisition and analysis. The system provides reports that include normal ranges and allow notes/comments entered by the facility physician and technologists. The wipe test application automatically calculates net contamination levels and reports results in dpm, uCi and Bq. The program allows compliance with regulations for counting and reporting results of wipes taken for contamination surveys. The system allows user to define an unlimited number of “Area” names and wipe “Locations” entered within the areas for testing and documentation. Each area may be designated as “restricted”, “unrestricted”, “package” or “sealed source”. The user may specify count times, activity units, wide window, and individual isotopes and geometric efficiencies or simply utilize the wide range of factory default options. The program displays and stores the full spectrum with each wipe, automatically calculates net contamination levels and reports results in dpm, uCi or Bq. Wipes above the user defined trigger levels are easily identified. A detailed spectrum analysis may also be performed for any wipe to help identify isotopes causing contamination. Customized reports can be printed or saved in PDF format. The application specialist will provide training and guidance to ensure safe use of the equipment and the study and administration applications provided. The contractor will provide cybersecurity best practices information and training, when applicable. The contractor will provide application update to ensure information security in the current equipment and other factors that interconnects with the imaging system including the network, other current peripheral applications and other new tools and software that will be developed or installed to work with the current work station and imaging equipment hardware and software.
