First published Tuesday, December 4, 2018
The University awarded a contract for maintenance for endoscopic cameras & scopes.
This emergency/quick purchase was required due to a situation in which public health or safety was threatened.
KARL STORZ is original equipment manufacturer of the endoscopic cameras, light sources, scopes, flexible/rigid endoscopy. These are pieces of equipment which are used in Laparoscopic procedures in conjunction with current hospital owned Karl Storz video equipment. When an item is damaged we will return the damaged piece or equipment for a replacement unit. We currently have an agreement in place through Vizient approval (208IDM) to 11-30-2018. Vizient has extended their agreement with Karl Storz to November 30, 2020 and we are currently perusing Vizient approval, under the extension. In the meantime, an emergency purchase will ensure the hospital will be able to provide services (Laparoscopic surgical procedures) until a new Vizient approval is given. We do not want to be without coverage which is a vital part of providing patient care.
