Background
Echocardiography is one of the most important tools in heart
research and therapy. A cardiovascular ultrasound system capable
of examining the heart structure and function in animals and
humans in both 2-dimension as well as 4-dimension is critical to
research programs at Canadian Centre for Agri-Food in Health and
Medicine. The system will be used to analyze the heart
structure, which includes the dimensions of heart walls and
chambers. It will also examine the ability of the heart to
contract (systolic heart function), and the ability of the heart
to relax (diastolic heart function) from the studies using the
animal models of heart disease. The data generated for these
studies will help support heart health claims for Canadian crops
which contain bio-actives.
Requirement
Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Canadian Centre for Research
in Health and Medicine located in Winnipeg, Manitoba has a
requirement for the supply, delivery, off-loading, on-site
installation and on-site training for one (1) new and unused
Cardiovascular Ultrasound System as per the mandatory technical
specifications detailed at Annex A, Article 3. Minimum Mandatory
Technical Specifications in the Request for Proposal.
The Cardiovascular Ultrasound System must examine the heart
structure in animals and humans in both 2-dimension as well as
4-dimension. In addition, the system must be designed for
imaging and must include a rodent probe with appropriate
frequency, workstation (computer, operating system, and
post-processing image analysis software and monitor) with option
for rodent 4D LV mass and LV strain, and 2D strain. The 2-D and
4-D cardiovascular ultrasound system offered must be in current
