1. Contracting Activity:

Department of Veterans Affairs, Robert J. Dole VA Medical Center, Wichita, KS.

Network Contracting Office (NCO) 15, Leavenworth, KS.

Reference:

2. Brief Description of Supplies/ Services required and the intended use/Estimated Amount:

Medivators Storage cabinets for flexible endoscopes that provide continuous, forced air through all channels/lumens. Includes compatible carrying cassettes/trays and model-specific hookups for the forced air.

3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used:

Wichita is requesting limited brand justification for the Storage and Drying System because of the following reasons:

Sterile Processing Department has an inventory of 2 Medivators Advantge Plus Endoscope Processing systems which are fully automated with computer-based on-board data management system for tracking endoscope usage and viewing cycle logs. The Endodry storage and Drying System is uniquely compatible with the Endoscope processing system and streamlines SPS Department operational efficiencies ensuring complete high-level disinfection and drying of endoscope inventory.

Smart Connect data interface with Advantage Plus Reprocessor Endoscope Tracking System Compatible Barcode scanner for ease of endoscope inventory ID and endoscope tray location Compatible cassette that fits the current Advantage Plus reprocessor (high-level disinfection).

Compatible Advantage Plus hookup which only fits the current Advantage Plus Endoscope

Reprocessor.

No other brand would effectively interface with the existing equipment. Obtaining different brand would require replacement of existing equipment and additional training. The brand specific requirement is cost effective, require minimal training and minimal expense in purchasing additional equipment and supplies.
