36C24724Q0310 Questions and Answers

Question 1.

You noted a question in the description of CLIN 17 in Solicitation # 36C24724Q0310 - see below. It is our understanding that Topcon AIT-16 or AIT-16A is a single table. Moreover, it is not wheelchair accessible. Please confirm that you intended to specify model AIT-16. Here is a link to Topcon’s table models. - https://topconhealthcare.com/products/tables

CLIN 17

AIT-16 Table, Without Top Local Stock Number: AIT-16A Double or Single?

Brand Name: Topcon

Answer 1.

Per the brochure sent, the AIT-18 single top would fit our needs. The quote should have a hand held auto-refractor in it for our wheelchair or stretcher patients.

Question 2.

CLIN 0014 lists Topcon 101 Lensometer, Manual. The model numbers for Topcon’s Manual Lensometers are the LM-8 or the LM-8E. Marco has a manual lensometer with the model number of “101”. Which model of lensometer do you want?

CLIN 0017 is for a AIT-16 Table, Without Top. This is no longer offered without a top - it only comes with a top. Also, the Local Stock Number states “AIT-16A Double or Single”. What does this mean?

Answer 2.

Topcon lensometer LM-8E with prism adapter should be equivalent to the Marco 101 with prism adapter. Whatever item is less expensive is preferred.

According to the latest brochure, the AIT-18 table should be the correct item needed. Single or double refers to the ability to hold a single instrument or two instruments on the table. The AIT- 18 or AIT-16 should just hold a single instrument. We would need a “top” if that is referring to the flat table surface.
