About this file
This document is a combined synopsis/solicitation notice for an ENT Endoscope Drying Cabinet. The Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office 8 is seeking proposals for a Harloff Sure Dry Scope cabinet with DriScope Aid to be installed at the James A. Haley Veterans Hospital in Tampa, Florida. Proposals are due by September 6, 2023 at 10:00 AM Eastern Time. The cabinet will force air through endoscope lumen channels and circulate air externally to dry endoscopes thoroughly after reprocessing and minimize the risk of disease transmission from residual moisture. This will help prevent bacterial growth in wet endoscopes awaiting use.

DESCRIPTION
See attached document: 36C24823Q1856.
See attached document: 36C24823Q1856 Endoscope Drying Cabinet See RFQ for complete details BACKGROUND: Endoscopy associated infection transmission is frequently linked to inadequate reprocessing, drying and storage of endoscopes. Insufficient drying contributed to retained fluid and contamination during multi-site studies. Residual fluid may be retained inside endoscopes after High Level Disinfection. This is problematic because wet environments facilitate growth of gram-negative bacteria and other potential pathogens. Previous investigations found that fully-reprocessed endoscopes harbored waterborne pathogens, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia. For this reason, new AORN and SGNA standards recommend that endoscopes have continual air pushed through the channels while being stored. This will help to alleviate bacterial growth in the scope while it is hanging and waiting to be used.
SCOPE: Harloff Sure Dry Scope cabinet with DriScope Aid is an endoscope drying cabinet that forces air through lumen channels as well as circulates around the external portions of the endoscope. To minimize risk of disease transmission and nosocomial infection, it was recommended on a site visit that the ENT Clinic switch out their current storage cabinet with a cabinet that has forced air and swing doors. All accordion, roll up doors are to be removed from use when storing re-usable medical devices
