Optos 200TX Service Agreements
The National Institutes of Health intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Optos, Inc. The Imaging Services Section of the National Eye Institute (NEI) produces digital clinical images in support of the Intramural Research Program (IRP). The ophthalmic imaging equipment utilized at NEI specifically for ultra-wide-field (UWF) color fundus photography, fundus autofluorescence, and angiography are two Optos 200Tx units with proprietary hardware and software. In order to keep this equipment running and get an immediate response from a qualified technician when the Optos device is not working, a service agreement is required. Prompt service is essential in order to maintain continuity in patient/research subject. Whenever our UWF Optos unit is not working, a service agreement provides the following: Unlimited telephone phone support Part replacement with next day shipping Onsite repairs by Optos field technician Even exchange for non-working components by Optos field technician The risk of having no service agreement would be disruptive to the mission of the NEI IRP and interfere with the collection of data required by our study protocols.
