Statement of Need for
Precision Medical PM63 Aspirators
Department of Veterans Affairs
Wilmington VA Medical Center
1601 Kirkwood Highway
Wilmington, DE 19805-4917
INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND:

The Wilmington VA Medical Center (WVAMC) is requesting a Brand Name or Equivalent procurement for the purchase of twelve (12) new Precision Medical PM63 PowerVac+ Intermittent Aspirators. This requirement is needed to replace equipment that are beyond end-of life and service life.

Any place a patient may have bowel obstruction can necessitate intermittent suction. All hospital patient care services, including but not limited to the emergency room, intensive care unit, gastrointestinal, ambulatory care, and extended care center, must have intermittent suction.

This equipment is designed for both continuous and intermittent use. Having a strong and long-lasting suction pump that will perform with the requirements we need at WVAMC.

It has an oil-free, continuous lubrication system, a hospital-grade vacuum regulator, an anti-bacteria filter to stop contamination, and an overflow-protected collection canister.

Product Specifications:

Vacuum range:
Adjustable: 0-200 mmHg
Fully adjusted: 250 mmHg

Vacuum modes:
Regulated, intermittent & off.

Intermittent cycle time:
Factory set at approximately 16 seconds on and 8 seconds off.

Height: 10.1 in (25.7 cm)
Width: 7.4 in (18.7 cm)
Length: 15.9 in (40.3 cm)
Weight: 21.2 lbs. (9.6 kg)

Suction canister: 2000cc

(Disposable with float shut-off )

We need the requested equipment type because it meets our desired need of intermittent suction control and size requirement. The Powervac+ Intermittent Aspirator is smaller than our current units and it has the functionality to mount on a roll stand which will allow for easy storage and satisfaction from users.
SCOPE:

The Department of Veterans Affairs, Wilmington VA Medical Center (WVAMC), is requesting a brand name or equal to procurement for the purchase of new PowerVac+ Intermittent Aspirators to replace end-of-life-equipment.

Training/Inservice requirement will be conducted during normal business hours of the WVAMC. Multiple in-service session will be accommodated for the various department.
