Maine VA Healthcare System

VELA Move+ Ophthalmology Chair

Introduction

The VA Maine HCS requires the delivery of thirteen (13) VELA Move+ Ophthalmology Chairs to Togus VA Medical Center, 1 VA Center, Augusta, ME 04330-6796.

Background

Our goal in the VA is to provide veterans the world-class benefits and services they have earned and to do so by adhering to the highest standards of compassion, commitment, excellence, professionalism, integrity, accountability, and stewardship. The Eye clinics do not currently have an appropriate chair to complete testing and move the patients between equipment. This poses a risk to not only our veterans and staff but is also a risk of damaging equipment that is costly.

Scope (Provide an overview of the PWS emphasizing the most important aspects of your requirement and defining the boundaries of the contractor s performance responsibilities).

The VELA Move+ Ophthalmology Chair is ideal for transporting patients between different examinations quickly and safely especially for patient with mobility difficulties. The patient only needs to sit down and get up from the chair once, which speeds up the examination process. It enhances patient flow for the elderly or patients with a walking impairment who have difficulty walking from one examination to another. Furthermore, the patient chair avoids straining ophthalmic staff in favor of supporting patients when moving from one examination to the next.

The VELA Move+ Ophthalmology Chair features the following features such as:

Ophthalmology chair improves examination conditions

Effective patient flow with an adjustable ophthalmic chair

Great service for wheelchair users and weak patients

Lockable chair base provides secure patient positioning

Large seat and backrest

Smooth-running wheels and push bar
