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

The Wichita VAMC requires a surgical table that will interface with the currently installed DaVinci surgical system. The Hill-Rom 7000dv surgical table is the only table available that has been specifically designed to connect to the FDA-approved Intuitive Surgical DaVinci robot and is the only table Intuitive has built a proprietary interface for.

Estimated cost is

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

The Hill-Rom 7000dv surgical table is the only table that allows automatic/easier patient positioning that works in conjunction with the DaVinci’s robot’s arm to allow for less invasive patient cavity entrance reducing trauma and decreasing patient recovery time. The Hill-Rom 7000dV OR table allows movement of the patient while the robot is docked (in patient). When the patient is in extreme trendelenberg position (extreme head down) the blood pressure can change because of the pressure on the diaphragm. The table can be adjusted without removing laparoscopic instrumentation attached to the robot.

On a regular operating room (OR) table all instrumentation must be removed, and the robot detached. The bed is adjusted and then the instrumentation must be reinserted, and the robot arms reattached. This is time consuming adding to the surgical length of the anesthesia time. There can be unexpected bleeding which cannot be observed when the position is changed. The air pressure must be reestablished and takes up more operative time. The Hill-Rom 7000dv is the only surgical table suitable and compatible with the currently installed DaVinci Surgical System at the Wichita VAMC.

A Sole Source Letter was obtained from Hill-Rom, indicating the surgical table (model 7000dV) is only available through Hill-Rom. This requirement will be a Sole Source Award to Hill-Rom due to its proprietary system.
