Price/Cost Schedule Item Information ITEM DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES/SERVICES QTY UNIT PRICE AMOUNT 0001 Tigerview DR w/ New Xray Bi-Directional Arm w/ Tilt head (or Equal) 6.00 EA ______ ___________ GRAND TOTAL ___________ 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.
