This will be the only notice of the Government's intent. The changes of the flow dynamics of the glymphatic system have been reported in several neurodegenerative diseases, e.g. Alzheimer’s disease and traumatic brain injury. However, the regulatory mechanisms of the flow dynamics of the glymphatic system are unclear. The VA PSHCS translational research investigators require two integrated anesthesia/ventilation/physiological monitoring systems and 2 additional compatible low-flow anesthesia systems. 2 complete integrated anesthesia/ventilation/physiological monitoring systems and 2 additional compatible low-flow anesthesia systems are required for VAPSHCS research operations. The low-flow, vaporizer systems must meet or exceed the following minimum salient characteristics: The system must have a simple touch screen control interface. The system us use less than 1ml/hr of anesthesia at flow rats between 25ml and 1L. The system must permit control of gas delivery with a digital control. The system must include an oxygen flush function The system must be modular so that other physiological monitoring system elements can be integrated with it. The system must permit digital data output and export The system must have onboard alarm systems to alert to changes in animal physiological state The system must be compatible with standard stereotactic devices The system must include a 1yr parts/labor warranty. The integrated temperature monitor and warming module must meet or exceed the following minimum salient characteristics: The system must utilize infrared warming to conduct warming of animals The system must have an automated feedback mechanism that allows animal temperature to be held constant The system must include temperature systems The system must have onboard alarm systems to alert to changes in animal physiological state The integrated pulse-oximeter and heart rate monitor must meet or exceed the following minimum salient characteristics: The system must be designed for rodents to capture high heart rates up to 900 beats per minute The system must be 99% accurate and provide pulse-oximetry data validated against arterial blood gas samples. The system must include sensors that are soft and don’t change blood flow to the attached appendage The system must measure oxygen saturation, heart rate, perfusion index and optical respiratory rate The integrated automated ventilator system must meet or exceed the following minimum salient characteristics: The system must be fully automated with programmed values for ventilation based on animal weight The system must permit ventilation based on both volume and pressure control The system must be designed fur use on animals between 3g and 1250g. The integrated end-tidal CO2 monitor must meet or exceed the following minimum salient characteristics: The system must have low sampling rates compatible with ventilation of small rodents such as rats or mice.
