Description

Primary Latest Change

The Phoenix Epidemiologic and Clinical Research Branch (PECRB), National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, National Institutes of Health, requires a metabolic measurement system capable of measuring oxygen consumption, carbon dioxide production, ventilation, and energy expenditure in human research participants. The equipment will be used to conduct human physiology research studies focused on metabolic disease, including obesity, and diabetes. These studies require accurate measurement of respiratory gas exchange and metabolic responses during both resting conditions and physical activity. The current metabolic measurement system used by PECRB is approaching the end of its operational lifespan and requires replacement to maintain reliable metabolic data collection. Acquisition of a new system will ensure the continued ability to perform metabolic testing and exercise physiology studies in human research participants. The metabolic measurement system must support both resting metabolic testing and graded exercise testing and must integrate with a research grade treadmill to allow controlled physical activity during metabolic measurements

Summary (Newest Update)

Background The Phoenix Epidemiologic and Clinical Research Branch (PECRB) of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, part of the National Institutes of Health, requires a new metabolic measurement system to replace its aging equipment. This system is essential for conducting human physiology research studies focused on metabolic diseases such as obesity and diabetes. Accurate measurement of respiratory gas exchange and metabolic responses during both resting conditions and physical activity is critical for these studies. The acquisition of a new system will ensure the continued ability to perform metabolic testing and exercise physiology studies in human research participants. Work Details The contract involves the procurement of a fully integrated metabolic measurement system that includes: - Ability to measure oxygen consumption, carbon dioxide production, ventilation, and energy expenditure in human research participants. - Breath-by-breath analysis capability for continuous measurement of respiratory gas exchange. - Integrated gas analyzers for measuring oxygen and carbon dioxide concentrations. - Airflow measurement system for ventilation during testing. - Automated calibration capability. - Data acquisition and analysis software for metabolic data collection. - A research-grade treadmill with controlled adjustments for speed and incline. Specific required components include: 1. Parvo TrueOne 2400 Metabolic Measurement System with: - Compact Analyzer Module - Paramagnetic Oxygen Analyzer (range 0-100%) - High-Speed Infrared Carbon Dioxide Analyzer (range 0-10%) - Pressure Transducer/Demodulator - Pneumotach Heater Control - Gas Sampling Flowmeter - OUSW-4.4 Windows O2 Uptake Software - 40-Second Gas Auto-Cal - Real-Time O2, CO2, and Flow Signal Graphic Display - User Configurable Reports 2. TrackMaster TMX428CP Treadmill with: - Elevation: 0 - 25% - Speed Range: 0.1 - 15 mph - User Weight Capacity: 500 lbs. 3. Additional accessories including breathing circuits, calibration gases, a computer with Windows 11 Pro, a laser printer, and various masks. Place of Performance The equipment will be delivered to the Phoenix Epidemiologic and Clinical Research Branch at the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases located at 850 North 5th Street, 7th Floor, Phoenix, Arizona 85004.
