STATEMENT OF WORK

STERILIZATION CONTAINERS

Northport VA Medical Center

Background:

The Northport VA Medical Center Sterile Processing Service (SPS) and the Operation Room (OR) currently uses Case Medical SteriTite containers to support our mission to assist our Veterans. When instrument trays show up in the OR with torn, sliced, or otherwise compromised blue wrap, it s a major source of frustration not just for the surgical teams who see their preparations and start times delayed but also for the sterile processing technicians who have to rewrap and re-sterilize the instruments. Placing trays of instruments to be sterilized into sealable stainless steel or anodized aluminum containers provides an assurance of infection prevention since there s no worry the outer protection will tear as it s shelved, pulled, or transported. Case Medical s SteriTite containers are universally compatible with steam and low-temperature sterilization modalities, so standardization of container inventory is possible. Manufactured from an aircraft-grade anodized aluminum alloy, these durable sealed containers are corrosion resistant, validated for all methods of sterilization, including pre-vacuum and gravity displacement steam, hydrogen peroxide plasma, ethylene oxide (EtO), and ozone, and compatible with all sterilizable devices. The rigid containers eliminate the threat of torn and compromised blue wrap, and the integrated filtration system in their covers and the silicone gaskets in their lids maintain seals and sterility.

Scope:

The Northport VA Medical Center Sterile Processing Service (SPS) and the Operation Room (OR) currently uses Case Medical SteriTite containers. We are urgently in need of additional SteriTite containers to continue our daily operation. Thus, purchasing from a different brand-name will interrupt services for our Veterans.
