1. Contract Title. Extracorporeal Shockwave Lithotripsy (ESWL) Treatment

2. Background.

ESWL therapy is being offered at Mann-Grandstaff Veteran Affairs Medical Center (MGVAMC) to service Veterans with kidney stones. ESWL is a very common non-invasive treatment modality for removing kidney stones. Currently, our VA surgeons have an MOU (memorandum of understanding) agreement to provide this service in the community hospitals. This is a very cost-prohibitive approach, and the addition of this contract would provide significant cost savings to the facility. The facility requires a mobile solution for the following:

Specifically targets proximal stones, and mid ureteral stones.

Pulverizes calculi in vivo into smaller fragments than other Vendors which then expulse spontaneously.

Shockwaves are generated and focused onto a single point, not an area, within the body.

Treatment lasts less than one hour.

Little or no anesthesia required.

3. Scope.

The scale of work involved requires a representative from the Contractor to bring in the ESWL machine. This is accomplished each time the procedures are performed. This procedure will be provided in the MGVAMC Operating Room (OR).

This documentation will be kept on file in the manager s office.
