This particular tower is needed it has the proper hookups and is compatible with the devices currently used in the clinic. The cameras in the operating room and clinic only work with Karl Storz products such as the camera box and AIDA. If a purchase was made for a different video tower, it would require new scopes, cameras, light cords and disposables as they all link together. Additionally, it is important to have this tower system for standardization and consistency in case it needs to be moved to a different location and to remain compatible with the clinc devices. The associated NAICS code for this procurement is 339112. The vendor will be Karl Storz Endoscopy America, 2151 E Grand Ave. El Segundo, CA 90245.
