Contract Title. Steris V Pro Max Low Temperature Sterilization System 3. Background. It is necessary to sterilize and reprocess reusable medical equipment (RME) that is moisture, temperature or radiation sensitive. This is accomplished through low temperature sterilization methods. One approved method is with ethylene oxide vapor (EtO). EtO is a flammable and highly toxic chemical with acute and chronic health effects. It is an established carcinogen and mutagen in animal toxicology models and a suspect carcinogen in humans. This requires users to have in place personnel and area monitoring processes. VHA Directive 2011-015 outlines policy for the use and management of EtO sterilizers to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements of OSHA, EPA, FDA, NFPA. Use of EtO generates reporting requirements under the Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act. Users must address EtO exposure and air pollution control requirements in order to protect public health and the environment. The EtO sterilization process is lengthy, including an extended aeration cycle, often 12 hours long. The use of EtO to sterilize RME is permissible in VHA and must be available when needed. VHA also directs that the use of EtO needs to be minimized. Facilities must maintain, and review on an annual basis, a list of RME that can only be sterilized using EtO. In addition, facilities must determine if sterilization by EtO is required or if alternative means are acceptable. Facilities are directed to initiate replacement plans must include potential alternatives to EtO. One such alternative is sterilization with hydrogen peroxide vapor. This method is safe for low temperature sterilization. The sterilization process allows for much shorter processing times that EtO, 2 hours for hydrogen peroxide gas vs. 18 hours for EtO. The by-products of hydrogen peroxide sterilization are oxygen and water, eliminating the exposure and air pollution control requirements present with EtO usage. Currently, there are no personnel monitoring requirements. Risk of employee exposure to hydrogen peroxide vapor or liquid is low. OSHA has established a permissible exposure limit and monitoring systems are available. We are requesting specific, high quality low temperature sterilization systems that are Brand Name or Equivalent to the following system: Item #Description Quantity 1V-PRO MAX Single Door Cabinet 208-230V VP300021012 2SE600962 V-PRO MAX Installation1 3SE600961 V-PRO MAX 1st Year Preventive Maintenance1 4SE160252 Install Proconnect Remote Monitoring1 4.
