Technical requirements: 75247 RH KLM Medical Biochemistry Blood Gas Department -75259 US KLM Medical Biochemistry Blood Gas Department
Oslo University Hospital, Post-Surgery Department / INTI6 the Emergency Clinic Rikshospitalet and the Thorax Surgery Department, Heart-PO Ullevål Hospital would like to procure two new blood gas instruments. The blood gas instrument at Rikshospitalet will be close to patients and will be used for analysing pH, pCO2, pO2, cooksimetry with Hb and derivates, Sodium, Potassium, Chloride, Lactate, Glucose, Calcium free at the Post Surgery Emergency Clinic.
The blood gas instrument at Ullevål Hospital will be used for frequent analyses close to patients of blood gases, including acid-base-status, electrolytes, Haemoglobin and glucose. This is carried out frequently and regularly on all thorax surgery patients in TKA3 (Heart, PO, Stepdown and Thorax ward).

Both departments particularly depend on blood gas for their daily treatment of patients in a safe and correct way. The results of the blood gas analysis decide a lot of the critical treatment that is chosen for the patient in question. The departments treat critically ill patients and the nurses cannot, therefore, leave a patient for long periods of time, as the patients must be observed around the clock. For this reason, it is important to have a system that minimises the time that is used in analysing blood gases in the department, so that the person who is analysing the sample can quickly return to their patient. It is, therefore, also important that the actual analysing is as fully automated, which will further shorten the time that the nurses must be away from their patients. Due to the large number of samples (number of samples per month), which for these 2 instruments is, on average, approx. 1 000 samples / month at Ullevål and approx. 1 300 samples / month at Rikshospitalet,
The departments need a system with good reliability and a low down time (time when the instrument cannot be used due to maintenance). Only ABL 800 has these solutions.
— ABL 800 also has the lowest error rate for consumables of blood gas instruments in this class, with an error rate of only 2 %, as well as very good and stable analysis quality,
— The instrument is delivered with flexQ-module, which enables automation of the entire analysis process, as well as automatic mixing of the sample before analysis,
— ABL 825 Flex has an option to analyse blood gas in a closed system (it does not need to take the cork off the blood gas syringe),
— The instrument has automatic mixing and measuring of samples (FLEX-module). ABL 825 Flex has a separate container for all blood waste that can be disposed of separately (small volume for destruction),
— The instrument has visual sample road and a tilting syringe insert in order to reduce dead volume in syringes,
— Panel for (other fluids) (for example, pleura), with factorisation of the calibration curve that does not affect the calibration curve for full blood,
— Upgrading and downgrading individual parameters in order to easily alter changed needs for the parameter set-up for the departments. This option for such automation is not currently found in other blood gas instruments. The procurement´s value, including equipment specific consumables and a service contract for the equipment´s lifetime (7 years) is estimated to be approx. 2 900 000 NOK excluding VAT.
This is based on Bergman Diagnostika AS being the only supplier that, due to technical reasons, can deliver in accordance with the requirements. The intention notice is pursuant to the public procurement regulations § 21-5. The terms in FOA § 13-4 (2) and 13-1 (5) are deemed to be fulfilled as well as the value of the full service contract for the instrument´s lifetime and a framework agreement for equipment specific consumables for the instrument´s lifetime.
