Introduction: The purpose of this document is to provide a statement of work (SOW), for the purchase of (2)Automated Endoscope Leak Detection Unit. Leak testing is Industry Best Practice and arecommend reprocessing standard byAdvancement of Medical Instruments (AAMI)/AmericanNational Standards Institute (ANSI), Association of perioperative Registered Nurses (AORN) and SocietyofGastroenterology NurseAssociates(SGNA). Using a leak detection system with proven accuracy and documented test results, ensures consistentandreliableendoscope leaktesting,anddrives compliancewithendoscope leaktestprotocols. This purchase will be for Sterile Processing Services (SPS) of Network 15, VA Heartland Network, Station#589. Useofequipment: Flexible medical endoscopes are an important and integral part of disease and treatment, but alsosourcesofpatientcross infection. The design of endoscopes incorporates an internal area where all the components necessary for safeoperation are housed. This includes but is not limited to fiber bundles, wiring harnesses, angulationwires,channel systems,support frameworksandother components. This area is designed to remain dry and is not subjected to contact with detergents, disinfectants, orrinse water. Theendoscope isacomplexmixofmaterialsandthese manypartsarejoinedinawaythatispatientsafeaswellas beingwatertight andabletobeproperlycleaned. Endoscopes contain lots of O rings that also can be a source of leaks as well as the relatively softbendingsectionrubber andthinmembranes thatcovervideoswitches. Fluid can enter the inside of the endoscope through leaks in any of the external or internal structure orthrough damaged O rings. Holes can be miniscule in size and present an extreme challenge to theconventionalleaktestmethod. Larger holes that present as a gross leak are easily identified and the endoscope can be quarantined andremoved from patient contact. Smaller leaks are much more difficult to find and potentially pose thegreatestrisktopatientcontamination.
