Description

This is a modification to the SOW in the Original RFQ. This is for a "Brand Name Or Equal" Prep stain slide Processor STATEMENT OF WORK FOR BD PREPSTAIN PROCESSOR Introduction/Background The VA New York Harbor Healthcare System is dedicated to providing quality health care to veterans using the abilities of all employees supported by our commitment to education and research. We are recognized locally, regionally, and nationally as a leader in quality patient care, positive customer service, medical/allied health education, and health-related research and employment opportunities. We seek to be the provider of choice of veterans and the community by offering an efficient, integrated quality health care system capable of providing a full range of primary, specialty and chronic health care services in a system that is readily accessible and responsive to change. Our key business drivers are quality, financial integrity, patient satisfaction and employee satisfaction. INTENDED USE The PrepStain System is a liquid-based thin layer cell preparation process. The PrepStain System produces SurePath slides that are intended as replacements for conventional gynecologic Pap smears. SurePath slides are intended for use in the screening and detection of cervical cancer, pre-cancerous lesions, atypical cells and all other cytologic categories as defined by The Bethesda System for Reporting Cervical/Vaginal Cytologic Diagnoses. SurePath Preservative Fluid is an appropriate collection and transportation medium for gynecologic specimens tested with BD ProbeTec Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) Qx and Neisseria gonorrhea (GC) Qx Amplified DNA Assays. Refer to the assay package inserts for instructions on using SurePath ® Preservative Fluid to prepare specimens for use with these assays. Objectives/Requirements The New York Harbor Healthcare System is ordering a BD PerpStain Processor for Pap smears, screening and detection of cervical cancer, pre-cancerous lesions, atypical cells and all other cytologic categories. The PrepStain ® System converts a liquid suspension of a cervical cell sample into a discretely stained, homogeneous thin-layer of cells while maintaining diagnostic cell clusters. The process includes cell preservation, randomization, enrichment of diagnostic material, pipetting, sedimentation, staining, and coverslipping to create a SurePath slide for use in routine cytology screening and categorization as defined by The BethesdaSystem.1 The SurePath ® slide presents a well-preserved population of stained cells present within a 13mm diameter circle. Air-drying artifact, obscuring, overlapping cellular material and debris are largely eliminated. The numbers of white blood cells are significantly reduced, allowing for easier visualization of epithelial cells, diagnostically relevant cells and infectious organisms. The SurePath process begins with qualified medical personnel using a broom-type sampling device (e.g., Cervex Brush ® Rovers Medical Devices B.V., Oss - The Netherlands) or an endocervical brush/plastic spatula combination (e.g., Cytobrush PlusGT and Pap Perfect ® spatula, Medscand (USA) Inc., Trumbull, CT) with detachable head(s) to collect a gynecologic specimen. Rather than smearing cells collected by the sampling devices on a glass slide, the heads of the sampling devices detach from the handle and are placed into a vial of SurePath Preservative Fluid. The vial is capped, labeled, and sent with appropriate paperwork to the laboratory for processing. The heads of the sampling devices are never removed from the preservative vial containing the collected sample.
