Statement of Work

Background PIMC CSR department has been affected by aging equipment and poor hospital steam quality and purity for the sterilization process. Poor quality steam has led to scaled and stained chambers, stained wraps and instruments, increased instrument repair costs, equipment downtime and poor equipment performance. To mitigate these issues PIMC will be converting to self-generating steam sterilizers that are constructed of all stainless-steel piping and stainless-steel boiler vessel. To further mitigate downtime risks, sterilizers that can operate off the house steam as a backup have been selected. Phoenix, AZ has relatively hard water and the boiler feed water should be properly treated. The integral steam generators make-up water will be from a new Reverse Osmosis water system to meet the recommendations set forth in AAMI TIR34 Table 1.

Objective The objective of this contract is to… This will improve… The system for steam delivery should be designed, monitored, and maintained to ensure that the quality, purity, and quantity of the steam provided are appropriate for effective sterile processing. There are two common sources for steam used for sterile processing: hospital steam boiler systems and self-contained electric boilers. Both systems should include a treated water supply to remove total dissolved solids. See AAMI TIR34:2014, Water for reprocessing of medical devices.

Steam sterilizers having a chamber volume less than or equal to 2 cubic feet generate their own steam. The user should follow the sterilizer manufacturer’s written IFU regarding water purity requirements, filling, draining, and general maintenance of the system. Distilled or deionized water might be recommended to help prevent the buildup of minerals in the sterilizing system and to ensure the purity of the steam generated for sterilization.

Rationale: Steam quality, purity, and quantity can be affected by the design, use, and maintenance of the overall steam system, which includes the boilers and steam distribution lines. To maintain steam purity and minimize the presence of potential contaminants in the steam.
