Statement of Work Spectralis Tracking OCT System

A. INTRODUCTION:

The VA Boston Healthcare System Surgical Department, Ophthalmology and Optometry Section, located at the Jamaica Plain Campus and Brockton Campus, is requesting a replacement Spectralis Tracking OCT System in the clinics. We will be trading in our current equipment for these replacement items.

This is an ophthalmic imaging platform with an upgradeable design. It allows clinicians to configure each Spectralis to the specific diagnostic workflow in the clinic. It delivers high resolution images with a lateral resolution and enables fine capillary networks to be visualized in great detail. The current equipment(s) is at the end of lifecycle replacement and is no longer serviceable. We are in need of a replacement in the operating room.

We currently have this equipment in place from the current vendor L1 Enterprises. The system has been historically reliable, and it is important to remain consistent with the equipment/vendor. The equipment is a standalone system not connected to the VA network. It is maintained by BioMed. If any issues arise with the equipment/item, the vendor representative will provide guidance to BioMed on how to mitigate those issues via phone/email.
