- Description
- The VA Connecticut Healthcare System intends to negotaite a sole procurement with Medisafe America regarding a Sonic Irrigator Auto (Complete System). This system is used to surface wash reusable patient care/surgical instruments to remove body fluids and bone. This auto system allows efficient and consistent cleaning of instruments that the current washing by hand does not. Instruments can not be effectively sterilzed until they are thoroughly cleaned. Hand washing with use of brushes and reamers shortens the life of the instruments and ceaning effectiveness varies with the thoroughness of the person cleaning. It is therefore imperative that VA Connecticut procure said system in order to get more life out of surgical instruments and render the instruments ready for sterilization. Medisafe is the only known manufacturer/distributor of cannulated surgical instrument cleaning systems combining enzyme injection, sonic action, cannulated pulse enhancement with independent irrigation of up to 18 insyruments in one automated process. This procurement is under the authority of FAR 6.302. A determination based upon responses to this notice is soley within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered soley for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. See note 22
