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 use in the market place and have been in the market place for a minimum of two (2) years.
