The system has the capability of turning photos into digital images when the system is integrated to its current network. The detector will be used by the facility with its existing radiology equipment to perform radiological studies.

3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: Siemens is the (OEM) Original Equipment Manufacturer for the current X-ray machine owned by VA Wilkes-Barre. Siemens are also the (OEM) Original Equipment Manufacturer for all repair parts that are required to be compatible with the equipment in order to maintain proper operation and functionality that will meet all OEM specification. The unique characteristic that limit availability to one source is limited due to Max Wi-D Detector #11105032 proprietary to Siemens and there are no other third-party detectors that are functional with the system. The Max Detector CS CD V Material #10862086 software runs the detector is proprietary to Siemens and a Siemens trained and certified engineer is required to install this product. Although, there may be a third-party service representative capable of completing configurations, however, due to our COVID non preparedness and it’s negative impact caused by the absence of an operational capability room, the agency is requesting a Siemens engineer to complete all configuration and installation for this unit. The detector is crucial to perform X-rays on current Siemens equipment and the unit is in a COVID designated room which has bariatric capability.
