STATEMENT OF WORK Optos Silverstone Ultra-Widefield Imaging Device The Huntington, WV. VA Medical Center has a requirement for the Optos Silverstone ultra-widefield imaging device which allows color (combined red and green lasers) and autofluorescence photography of the ocular fundus, to ~133.33 degrees in the horizontal meridian, with the ability for concurrent scanning with spectral-domain optical-coherence tomography. These features (to our knowledge) are absent from currently available (June 2021) competing devices, and are of value in the diagnosis and management of numerous eye diseases. These diseases include diabetic retinopathy, hypertensive retinopathy, retinal dystrophy, retinal disorder secondary to carotid disease, retino-choroidal infection and inflammation, retinal detachment, choroidal cancers as well as benign tumors, and other medical conditions. The instrument is expected to facilitate the handling of patients, leading to more efficient referrals, more accurate diagnosis, and more favorable care-outcomes. The contractor will need to coordinate with the Veterans Affairs Medical Center department of biomedical engineering, to service all on-site installation of hardware and software, as well as to provide any on-going support within the frame of their warranty-period. The warranty contract shall be pursued and maintained by the department of biomedical engineering.
