The University awarded a contract for esophageal and 3D anorectal manometry system .
This emergency/quick purchase was required due to a situation in which immediate action was needed to prevent any disruption in University services.
The The equipment is used for patient testing as ordered by the gastroenterologists and pelvic floor specialists at the University of Illinois Hospital and Health Sciences Center (UIHHSS).
This emergency/quick purchase was required due to failure of an existing system which was not economically repairable and immediate action was needed to prevent any disruption in University services. Patient testing has been postponed and/or cancelled and loss of revenue has resulted from the current inoperable instrument. In addition, to the need to take immediate action, sound business judgment mandated a quick purchase to take advantage of a limited time offer by the seller to deliver within seven to ten business days at a special discounted price.
In summary, patient testing has been postponed and/or cancelled and loss of revenue has resulted from the current inoperable instrument. State services that affect Chicagoland healthcare can be expanded and enhanced from this quick purchase.
