Background:

The Cleveland VAMC will be replacing its current podiatric x-ray unit at the Wade Park and Parma facilities. Currently these x-ray services are only offered at our Wade Park and Parma facilities, but the Cleveland VAMC will be adding these services at the Akron, Canton, Mansfield and Youngstown Community Based Outpatient Clinics (CBOCs). This unit, CR plate reader, is utilized in the performance of Weight Bearing Feet and Ankle exams. The current Podiatry units at Wade Park and Parma are an older Computer Radiography (CR) system. These current units are beyond useful life and are no longer being supported by the manufacturer. The move to Direct Radiography (DR) is the newest technology that provides better quality imaging and simultaneously will reduce the dose of radiation to each patient significantly. This lower radiation dose is a most important benefit to our Veteran patients and DR is the gold standard in imaging technology worldwide.

Specifications:

Unit SHALL include a computer, x-ray tube, stand, hardware, software and DR Plate

SHALL be a floor unit

SHALL use DR Technology

SHALL be covered by no less than a 2 year warranty

SHALL be DICOM conformant

SHALL be ADA Compliant Ortho-base

SHALL include education/training

SHALL require no more than 10 seconds for image acquisition
