STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW) A. GENERAL INFORMATION Title of Project: Cataract sterilization tray standardization Scope of Work: Locate a cataract sterilization tray system that holds all items. Central Texas Veterans Health Care System (CTVHCS) has been working with the eye surgery team to locate a sterilization tray or system of trays that can safe guard micro eye surgery instruments, prevent potential damage to the eye instruments while reducing the number of surgical trays required for a procedure by bundling all necessary sterilized items into one sterilization tray system. The cataract surgery uses a microscope that requires silicone rubber knobs that are re-sterilized following a procedure. These knob covers are designed to slip over the sterile drape that covers the microscope to give the surgeon a good grip on the controls. These knob covers are very light and often get flipped over and retain steam that turns to water during sterilization. Water in a tray equates to an unsterile tray and unsafe for patient care. These trays are designed to keep the knob covers from flipping and therefore not retaining water and having an unsterile wet (contaminated) tray. Required: FDA cleared for sterilization using rigid containers or blue single use sterilization wrap. Sterilization tray that protects 41 delicate micro surgical and ophthalmic eye surgery instruments with design that facilitates sterilization, Sized 15 1/4 x 9 5/8 x 4 ¾ . Must have retractable handles. Tray must prevent knob covers from flipping and capturing moisture/water. Must have a built-in covered location (box) built in or attached to tray. Tray must be latex free. Latex free silicone instrument holders that allow for reconfiguration. Latex free rubber feet and corner guards Easy to open latches that facilitate access to instruments without risk of damage to sterile gloves and contamination of instruments.
