(3) Contract Line Item number: 1 (4) Description of requirements for the items to be acquired: Line Item Product# Description Qty 1 RD-0617 HW Six Leg Offset DB IV Pole 20 PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS IV Poles RD-0617 The VA Salt Lake City Health Care System (VASLCHCS) is in need of IV poles which are steadier to hold the weight of the Alaris pumps. These new Alaris IV pumps are heavier and bulkier than the previous pumps and require a sturdier more heavy duty IV pole for patient and provider safety. For safety purposes, every IV pole must contain a 6 legged base to deal with the heavier pumps. The typical IV pole has 4 - 5 legs at the base; Pryor RD-0617, HW six leg ofsset db IV pole has 6 legs. The most common type of IV stand found in American hospitals is the free-standing mobile pole. All designs of this type are very similar. The primary difference is found in the design of the base, although the hangers and accessories may also vary slightly. Stands of this design are usually on casters which make them very easy to move, by either the patient or a nurse. This gives the patient the opportunity to get out of bed and comfortably move around on his own. The primary disadvantage of this design is that it is prone to falling over. The large height and relatively small base make it somewhat unstable. The Alaris IV pumps are heavier than the previous pumps and require a more heavy duty IV pole. Features RD-617 o This stand is designed to safely support Plum and Symbiq IV pumps or other IV infusion devices and their companion IV fluid containers. o 6-legs o 27" diameter, low-center-of-gravity steel base with epoxy finish o 3" premium rubber casters with sealed ball bearings (10 year warranty) o Welded 2" steel base pole with epoxy finish o Two off-set 1.25" stainless telescoping top poles with defeat handles (to assure proper IV pump orientation). The off-set pole positions the central mass of the infusion devices directly over the central axis of the stand, thus maximizing stability. o Two 8-hook rake top assemblies o Fixed-position handle at the ideal push-point height o 6-outlet electrical strip with protective splash guard (meets UL 1363A standard) o 100" fully extended; 74" compressed (5) Delivery: 15 Days ARO, FOB Destination, Deliver To: VA Health Care System 500 Foothill Drive Warehouse Bldg 7 Salt Lake City, UT 84148-0001 (6) Clause 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors -- Commercial, applies to this acquisition.
