Announcement of an Exempt Purchase

The InnoWave PCF Sonic Irrigator is a cutting-edge device designed for the efficient cleaning of medical equipment using advanced sonic technology, helping to prevent the spread of diseases in operating rooms.

This purchase is exempt from the usual selection processes of the Procurement Code because the procurement expenditure is for medical supplies or medical services necessary for the delivery of care and treatment at medical, dental, or veterinary teaching facilities utilized by SIU or U of I (30 ILCS 500 / 1-13(b-5)) The sterilization system has to do with direct patient care. The ultrasonic cleaner and thermal disinfectant is one of the best ways to clean and disinfect reusable medical instruments. Without access to these cleaners/disinfectants, UI Health would not be able to offer life saving and preventative surgeries to our patients.
