Technical requirements: Gastromedisinsk avdeling ved Oslo universitetssykehus HF (OUS HF) (the Department of Gastroenterology at Oslo University Hospital Trust) uses disposable ductoscopes in connection with endoscopic investigations; especially for bile duct and pancreatic tumours and stones.
It is also relevant to use disposable ductoscopes in connection with cholecystectomy; when the ductoscope is inserted through the passage between the gallbladder and the bile duct to treat stones (especially in patients who have undergone slimming surgery).
It is anticipated that in 2021 a total of under 100 such patients procedures will be carried out at the Department of Gastroenterology, Oslo University Hospital Trust.
Oslo University Hospital Trust, Ullevål, currently has a Boston Generator DS (Spyglass) and a Walz stone crusher (EHL) and associated fibre for stone crushing.
We request that potential tenderers of disposable ductoscopes (long and short), that are compatible with the above-named generator and stone crusher communicate this to the contracting authority.
The Gastroenterology Department at Oslo University Hospital Trust (OUS HF) uses disposable ductoscopes in patient procedures.
Endoscopic investigations particularly for bile duct and pancreatic tumours and stones can be performed with a so-called ductoscope. This is a thin, flexible endoscope that is passed through the biopsy channel on the duodenoscope and then via the papilla in the duodenum to the bile or pancreatic duct. The ductoscope provides the opportunity of inspection (images), biopsy and crushing of stones with the help of electrohydraulic (EHO) or laser.
In connection with cholecystectomy there can be a need to insert the ductoscope through the passage between the gallbladder and bile duct in order to treat stones. This can be a good solution for patients who have undergone slimming surgery, and the anatomy is altered so that a duodenoscope cannot be used in the same way as usual. In addition, stones in the bile duct that are detected in connection with removal of the gallbladder (surgery) can be treated in the same session. This requires shorter ductoscopes than those used in a standard duodenoscope.
Oslo University Hospital Trust, Ullevål, currently has a Boston Generator DS (Spyglass) and a Walz stone crusher (EHL) and associated fibre for stone crushing. Both types of disposable scope outlined above (long and short) must be compatible with the above-named generator and stone crusher.
Oslo University Hospital Trust requests that potential tenderers with such disposable ductoscopes communicate this to the contracting authority.
This is because all communication must be logged. Once you have entered the contest, choose the 'Communication' tab. Then click on the icon ‘New Message’ in the menu Enter your information for the contracting authority and then click 'Send'. The contracting authority will then receive your message.
If there is a question that concerns all tenderers, the contracting authority will answer this anonymously by giving the answer as additional information. Additional information is available under the ‘Kommunikasjon’ (Communication) tab and then under the ‘Tilleggsinformasjon’ (Additional Information) tab. You will also receive an email with a link to the additional information.
