STATEMENT OF NEED AND GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS

FOR

Stryker System 9 Surgical Handpiece Upgrade

Background

The VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System (VAPHS) is a tertiary referral center for the western half of VA Healthcare VISN 4, treating Veterans from Altoona, Erie, and Butler, in Pennsylvania and Clarksburg, West Virginia. VAPHS proudly serves the Veteran population throughout the tri-state area of Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia. VAPHS consists of two clinical care facilities in Pittsburgh (HJH and University Drive locations) as well as five community-based outpatient clinics. VAPHS maintains academic affiliations with over 170 associated health educational programs, to include the University of Pittsburgh Schools of Medicine and Dental Medicine.

The Medical Center has a need to complete its upgrade to the Stryker System 9 Surgical Handpieces and the current system is end of life and no longer supported. The current Stryker System 7 is no longer supported nor capable with the recent upgrades that have taken place during the last two years. In addition to delivery of the Stryker System 9 Handpieces, the VAPHS facility would require the vendor to include Inservice of the new units with staff which will include the re sterilization process as well as unpacking and ensuring all pieces ordered are in good working order and present.

This upgrade is essential in providing minimal impact to patient care, with continuous, uninterrupted service. Careful coordination for this project has already been put into place by the facility, to limit all disruptions that may take place during the scheduled removal of the old system and installation of the new Stryker 9 System. Delay of the necessary upgrade would have a negative impact on both VAPHS facility staff and patients.

The Stryker System 9 have been identified as the appropriate choice by the Pittsburgh Subject Matter Experts, as well as voted on by the Pittsburgh SEPG/EER Equipment Planning Committee. We have already started the upgrade, and this would be the third installment portion of this upgrade over the past two years and would effectively complete the process.
