Technical requirements: Landspitali is planning to purchase and install thirteen (13) High level disinfection (HLD) systems for endocavitary ultrasound transducers from Icepharma in December. The system manufacturer is Germitec.
Currently Landspitali is using HLD systems from Germitec for eusophagus ultrasound transducers, which were purchased after price inquiry in 2017, and needs HLD systems for endocavitary transducers.
The HLD systems will be used by the outpatient and emergency departments of division of gynecology and the out-patient department of urologic surgery.
It is essential that the new system is suitable for and supports the medical service and the clinical environment in these departments in Landspitali. One of the key factors that has to be considered in that aspect is the time it takes to perform the HLD, which directly affects how many patients can be examined during a given time period. It is very important that the new HLD system does not decrease the number of examinations that can be performed each day. In particular this timing affects the departments of gynecology where the number of examinations each day are high.
The HLD system that is planned to purchase is chronos from Germitec. Chronos meets these criteria since the HLD only takes 90 seconds on average and can be performed between patients in a busy schedule.
Chronos has HLD properties of bactericide (KPC), viricide, yeasticide (C. albicans), fungicide (A. fumigatus, Aspergillus niger), mycobactericide, sporicide and HPV. The system therefore fulfils both key clinical requirements, timing and HLD properties. Chronos also has many other qualities that will benefit the departments operations, such as being chemical free, fully automated, very easy to use and includes a web-based tracking system.
Landspitali has received an offer from Icepharma for 33.790.294 ISK not including VAT for 13 Chronos HLD systems and a total service contract, excluding spare parts, for four (4) years. The total service contract also covers three (3) older systems from Germitec which are already in use in Landspitali.
Since Chronos is the only HLD system that can perform the HLD under 2 minutes Landspitali has decided to go for negotiation with Icepharma.
Information from other manufacturers and/or sellers that can offer similar solutions, that fulfil the key clinical requirements, for the same or lower total price and can be delivered no later than 2 months from ordering shall send information to verdfyrirspurnir@landspitali.is before 16.12.2019.
