Purchasing additional scopes also ensures that in the event of scheduled maintenance or unexpected repairs, we will be able to continue to provide care to our Veterans. The current Pulmonary endoscopes in use are Olympus brand IAW VHA National Standardization of Endoscopes memo. Kansas City VA Medical Center also has Olympus endoscopes in use throughout the facility, therefore the decision was made by Pulmonary section leadership to stay with Olympus products. Kansas City VA Medical Center Pulmonary has well established standard operating procedures in place for set up, pre-cleaning, and reprocessing of Olympus endoscopes. In addition, there is a well-established set of Olympus endoscope competencies in place along with the training material and processes necessary to achieve these competencies. The intention of the standardization effort is to achieve the goal of establishing locally standardized Pulmonary endoscope inventories through VHA without incurrent expense beyond what is necessary. Repair/maintenance and upgrading will be easier to manage with just one contractor. This will reduce the variety of instruments and thus the number of standard operating procedures for set up and reprocessing of this reusable medical equipment. This will reduce the chance of errors during reprocessing due to a standardized process. This solicitation uses a Brand Name or Equal Description of the product required.
