SLVHCS is requesting any vendors marketing Complete Orthopedic Arthroscopic Operating Systems to attend a vendor day for an opportunity to demonstrate their equipment. SLVHCS ultimately intends to solicit a requirement that will seek an offeror to provide all the necessary equipment, labor, consumables, disposables, materials, installation, accessories, and scopes to support 2 operating rooms. No award decisions will be made during the Vendor Day, and its sole purpose is to provide in-depth information about new and emergent technologies to allow the Department of Veteran Affairs to offer the highest quality services to our nation's Veterans. Description of Requirement The following description is provided only for informational purposes and is not intended to limit the scope of any vendor's technological demonstration. SLVHCS is seeking equipment that includes but not limited to the following: tower, camera heads, shavers, telescopes (scopes), and pumps. The telescopes will have variable degrees and millimeters (sizes) appropriate to the surgical procedures. It is essential that the telescopes have adjustable viewing directions and expanded viewable degrees - lateral and isometric views. The telescopes (rigid scopes) and flexible scopes must be autoclavable and/or sterilization. The offeror will provide the necessary wire or stain-steel trays for cleaning, sterilization, and storage; as well as, any accessories and leak test adaptors. The offeror will work closely with the Sterilization Processing Service; as well as, providing any necessary training. The operating system which is ultimately procured must be compatible with the existing Skytron (operating room) booms. The systems will have the ability to communicate with VISTA Imaging and Computerized Patient Record System (CPRS) to allow for the transfer of data into the patient's Electronic Medical Records. Any digital imaging system should be displayed on the video integration system. It is essential that the proposed operating system integrates into existing infrastructures and exchanges data with other systems using common standard interfaces. Finally, it is the responsibility of the offeror to provide a surgical system that has the ability to function with the current power (electrical) supply.
