Framework agreement: purchase of CPTs for cardiac surgery

Modular minimally invasive extracorporeal circuits (MiECC) or low-volume priming systems are an important part of minimally invasive surgery. They contribute to the patient's rapid recovery. The Jessa hospital is therefore extremely proud that we can offer this as the only center in Belgium and one of the few in the world. We are recognized as an international training center for minimally invasive heart surgery. We are invited to speak at international conferences and we receive visits from colleagues from all corners of the world. The Netherlands, France, Italy, Spain, Finland, Slovenia, Russia, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates and Australia have already been reviewed. The growth of our heart center accelerated after the appointment of a leading cardiac surgeon. In 2013 we started minimally invasive extracorporeal circulation. This technology has been around since 2000, but has suffered from a lack of safety all along. We have searched everywhere in Europe for a safe system, but without results. That is why we have developed our own system, which meets the strictest safety requirements. The results are spectacular: our patients spend 30 percent less time in hospital, they receive blood transfusions significantly less often, they also have less postoperative inflammation, etc. and provide the option for fast-track anesthesia. Furthermore, the cardiac surgeons at ZOL hospital support Jessa and we would also like to offer them the opportunity to implement this perfusion technique in their future vision and therefore continue this method by using the CPTs (Custom Procedure Tray) as described in these specifications. The numbers in the appendix/inventory are the maximum numbers that can be purchased under this agreement. These numbers are based on consumption over the last 4 years with a surcharge of 20% for eve
