About this opportunity
The Federal Contract Opportunity involves the purchase and installation of a Harloff Sure Dry Scope cabinet with DriScope Aid, an endoscope drying cabinet that forces air through lumen channels and circulates around the external portions of the endoscope. This is to minimize the risk of disease transmission and nosocomial infection in the ENT Clinic, which is currently using a storage cabinet without forced air and swing doors. The contract also includes the removal of all accordion, roll up doors currently in use for storing re-usable medical devices.
Products and Services to be provided:
- Harloff Sure Dry Scope cabinet with DriScope Aid
- Installation of the new endoscope drying cabinet
- Removal of the current storage cabinet
- Removal of all accordion, roll up doors
- Switching out the current storage system with the new one.

Endoscope Drying Cabinet
See RFQ for complete details
BACKGROUND: Endoscopy associated infection transmission is frequently linked to inadequate reprocessing, drying and storage of endoscopes. Insufficient drying contributed to retained fluid and contamination during multi-site studies. Residual fluid may be retained inside endoscopes after High Level Disinfection. This is problematic because wet environments facilitate growth of gram-negative bacteria and other potential pathogens. Previous investigations found that fully-reprocessed endoscopes harbored waterborne pathogens, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia. For this reason, new AORN and SGNA standards recommend that endoscopes have continual air pushed through the channels while being stored. This will help to alleviate bacterial growth in the scope while it is hanging and waiting to be used.
SCOPE: Harloff Sure Dry Scope cabinet with DriScope Aid is an endoscope drying cabinet that forces air through lumen channels as well as circulates around the external portions of the endoscope. To minimize risk of disease transmission and nosocomial infection, it was recommended on a site visit that the ENT Clinic switch out their current storage cabinet with a cabinet that has forced air and swing doors. All accordion, roll up doors are to be removed from use when storing re-usable medical devices
