Using Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP), the Strategic Acquisition Center- Frederick intends to issue a sole source, firm-fixed price order to: COMPANY: St Jude Medical, Inc., 6300 Bee Cave Rd., Building 2, Suite 100, Austin TX, 78746 DUNS: 080232168 CAGE: 76905 NAICS: 334510 SOCIO-ECONOMIC: LARGE BUSINESS CONCERN FOR : ILUMIEN Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) System The ILUMIEN OCT system constitutes highly specialized equipment, and this technology is only available from one vendor (St Jude). The ILUMIEN system is the only system that combines fractional flow reserve (FFR) technologies and optical coherence tomography (OCT) in one platform. The combined system offers physicians advanced physiological and anatomical insight to improve the diagnosis and treatment of coronary artery disease. The Ilumien OCT system has an intravascular imaging technology that allows physicians to visualize and measure important vessel characteristics otherwise not visible or difficult to assess with older intracoronary imaging technologies. The OCT coronary imaging technology helps to optimize treatment with stents, and has about 10 times better image resolution and 20 times faster image capture over the current industry standard of Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS). This efficient technology provides easy visualization, with high resolution images in less than five seconds.
