- Statement of Need Coatesville VA Medical Center Title of Project: Stryker Xpedition Model 6257 Powered Stair Chairs. Background: The Department of Veterans Affairs, Coatesville Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VAMC), has a new Brand Name Only requirement for two (2) Stryker Xpedition Stair Chairs, one is for a replacement, and one is for an addition to provide patient movement in stairways and narrow passages when elevators are not available or when the environment will not allow for a stretcher to remove the patient from the area. The Stryker Xpedition uses battery power to assist with the climbing or descending of stairs. This is one of the first powered stair chairs, traditionally it required at least two personnel to move a patient downstairs. Going upstairs with a legacy stair chair was never the intent of the traditional stair chairs although it has been down when moving Veterans back to their floor when elevators have stopped working. The Coatesville VAMC currently utilizes the Stryker Stair-PRO which is an earlier unit. The sole source requirement of this purchase is necessary due to the Stryker Xpedition being the only powered stair chair on the market. The stair chair uses the same battery as the stretcher system that the fire department currently uses. Staying with the Stryker brand will allow users to use the same maintenance plan to annual maintenance and repairs when needed. Furthermore, Veterans Affairs Safe Patient Handling manual requires patient movement to use less than 35 pounds of force when moving a patient.
