The purchase will include the following item: V-Sign Sensor Part Number: 101342 VS-A/P/N The V-Sign Sensor is a non-invasive patient sensor used to continuously measure transcutaneous carbon dioxide (TcCO ) and oxygen saturation. This monitoring capability is essential for diagnosing and managing patients with sleep-disordered breathing and respiratory insufficiency. The Sentec V-Sign Sensor is a proprietary component manufactured exclusively for use with the Sentec TcCO monitoring system. The sensor is fully compatible with the VA s existing equipment, including integration with the Polysmith system, pre-loaded adult modes, and customized display configurations. No other manufacturer produces a sensor that is technically compatible or validated for use with the Sentec TcCO monitor. Use of an alternative sensor would require replacement of the entire monitoring system, resulting in unnecessary cost, operational disruption, and potential risk to patient care.
