is necessary to meet the standards of care for our patients and continued hospital requirements and upgrades.

Market research has revealed that the eight replacement monitors are the only monitors compatible with the existing Government-owned Stryker system. Stryker is the only manufacturer of the 32 inch 4K Surgical Monitors that will work in tandem with the current equipment to provide maximum operating room functionality for the OR staff.

In fact, other surgical monitors are not interchangeable with the Stryker system.

Additionally, the 32 inch 4K surgical monitors are only available through the manufacturer (Stryker) and Stryker’s authorized distributors. Therefore, this is a brand name only requirement.

Based on the aforementioned, it is in the best interest to purchase the Stryker 32 inch 4K surgical monitor because it is the only product compatible with the Government-owned Stryker system.
