Active

Contract Opportunity

Statement of Work

Background:
The White River Junction VA Medical Center Sterile Processing Services (SPS) Department has purchased Air Innovation Sterile Storage cabinet is designed to store and protect Reusable Medical Devices (RMD). The cabinets will require yearly maintenance to ensure the optimal working parameters such as: internal chamber volume will be maintained at the following conditions: 66°-72°F, 20-60% RH (max dew point 57°F), and a minimum internal positive pressure + 0.03 In-H20 or greater to maintain ISO Class 5 conditions, ambient temperature ranges from 60-82°F and 10%-50% RH. The cabinets have specialized sensors that would need to be recalibrated, as of right now, there is no one in White River Junction that has been certified to perform the delicate work that is necessary to keep the cabinets within proper parameters. Having the Air Innovation team come and do all the work would cut down on the need of training multiple people on these cabinets as well as ensure that all responsibility for the PMs do not fall on the facility. The cabinets are necessary to maintain the sterility of the instruments as the temperatures fluctuate and our aging facility struggles to keep proper environmental controls.
