- Description
- Scope of Work Background: The VA Boston Healthcare System has the need for the replacement of the pre-vacuum sterilizers in West Roxbury because they are past their life-expectancy and are requiring frequent repairs. This has impacted operations and workflow and has the potential to negatively impact patient access to critical Reusable Medical Devices (RMD) in the future. Currently the VA Boston Healthcare System utilizes two medium century Sterilizer. We are proposing these two sterilizers to be replaced with two new pre-vacuum sterilizer (AMSCO 400 Series Medium Steam Sterilizer), 4 Atlas loading cars and 4 Atlas loading carriages. These new sterilizers are designed for fast, efficient sterilization of heat- and moisture-stable materials. The pre-vacuum configuration sterilizers are equipped with pre-vacuum, gravity, liquid, leak test and daily air removal (Bowie-Dick) test cycles. AMSCO 400 Series Medium Steam Sterilizers are equipped with the latest features in both state-of-the-art technology and ease of use. PRODUCT FEATURES: 26 x 37.5"" chamber cross-sections are sized for efficient, high-volume sterilization processing. Fast-operating, low-effort manual door lock mechanism (hinged-door models) allows door to be locked or unlocked using a single 30° handle motion. Power door drive systems consists of a cable and pulley arrangement driven by an electric motor. Power door is arranged horizontally and controlled from the touch screen. Door slides horizontally on a rigid rail assembly housed within stainless-steel paneling. The control system for the AMSCO 400 Series Medium Steam Sterilizer features enhanced functionality and user-friendly interface screen. Touch-sensitive screen with 30-line x 40-character display area. Ink-on-paper impact printer. Help screens for programming and troubleshooting alarm conditions. Automatic check of control program and cycle data maintains process integrity. Software calibration is performed in service mode using external or internal temperature and pressure sources. Control system provides a printed record of all calibration data for verification. Steam purge feature is provided to assist in air removal and to preheat the load. Lighted DIN connectors are installed on all steam, water, and exhaust valves, for reliability and ease of maintenance. Note: These machines will have internal data transmission capabilities, there will be no need for live data transmission which could interfere with patient information transmission. Period of Performance: The purchased sterilizer model will come with a two-year total care warranty. The normal life expectancy of the AMSCO 400 Series Medium Steam Sterilizer is 12 years.
