STATEMENT OF WORK

ZEISS TIVATO 700

1.0 Introduction

The VA Maine HCS requires delivery, installation and training of (1) Tivato 700 Premium Microscope Package with accessories for the Operating room at Togus VA Medical Center located at 1 VA Center, Augusta, ME 04330.

2.0 Background

The VA Maine Operating room is looking to replace the current microscope that is over 10 years old, at end of life, and has no maintenance contract connected to it. It can be used as a backup microscope for the Ortho Spine service should anything happen to the scope used by them. Microscope equipment of this caliber is purchased not leased and the newer Tivato 700 will provide the Operating room with the most advanced features in order to provide the best care for our veterans. Technology in surgical microscopes has advanced in the last 10+ years, incorporating 4K videography, and both infrared and fluorescence options. All of this allows the surgeon to work more precisely and safely. Purchasing this microscope now allows the facility and our Perioperative Services to care for possibly hundreds of Veterans who wish to stay within our System for ENT care and procedures.

3.0 Scope (Provide an overview of the PWS emphasizing the most important aspects of your https://vaww.aams.ecms.va.gov/AAMS_Production/Desktop/DTMain.aspxrequirement and defining the boundaries of the contractor’s performance responsibilities).

The Tivato 700 Microscope has a Workflow-Enhancing Visualization that enables you to have state-of-the-art modalities at your fingertips. The ZEISS TIVATO 700 enables effortless use of advanced surgical visualization modalities and delivers superb image clarity for every procedure. Inside the OR, you can broadcast the procedure every step of the way in brilliant detail with the integrated 4K camera technology, while the large external monitor allows for easy viewing by your entire team. This microscope contains the newest in surgical microscope technology, which will help ensure that we provide Veterans with the best opportunity for high-quality, safe, and efficient care. It is equipped with a camera and can connect to a monitor for viewing by room staff, so all can see and anticipate case needs.

This is the standard of care outside the VA and with essential features as;
