Voluntary transparency rental of heart-lung machines
UMC Utrecht intends to rent four heart-lung machines from LivaNova Nederland NV for a temporary bridging period of three years. The current heater-cooler installation still operates with outdated, no longer supported machines, making a temporary provision necessary to ensure the continuity of patient care. The contract falls under supplies and will be executed via a negotiated procedure without publication. The rental concerns a full service package including delivery, installation, maintenance, training, and technical support. The choice for LivaNova is based on their experience with heart-lung machines and the ability to quickly provide a solution that is compatible with the existing infrastructure.
