Contracting Office Address: Attn: Carolyn DeWinter, Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office 4, 1010 Delafield Road Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15215-1802 Scope of Work General Information: One replacement camera (new)for Willow Grove CBOC One new camera for 63rd & Market Street Annex Scope of Work: Willow Grove CBOC Purchase and installation of a replacement fundus camera. The current fundus camera is irreparable, per Biomed department. Fundus photography at Willow Grove CBOC is done on a daily basis and is a vital and necessary adjunct to patient management in all eye clinics. 63rd & Market Street Annex- Purchase and installation of a new fundus camera. The fundus camera, an ophthalmic imaging device, is a combination of a high-resolution camera and low power microscope. A fundus camera is commonly used for fundus/retina imaging, external photography, paired optic disk images, and fluorescein angiography. Some of the commonly occurring disorders which are managed through fundus photography are retinal detachment, diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, retinal vascular disease and glaucoma. The greater prevalence of retinal and macula disorders, the increase in geriatric population, and advancements in technologies have driven the usage and necessity of the fundus camera in every eye clinic. Advanced Analysis: After review of feedback from several other VA s, along with market research, it is evident that the Canon CX-1 Hybrid Digital Myd/Non-Myd Retinal Camera System is the most advanced and capable system and should be both the replacement and newly purchased fundus camera for the Corporal Michael J. Crescenz VA Medical Center.

This system is necessary to manage retinal and retinal vascular disease, macula disorders and optic nerve pathology. The current fundus camera, which was has stopped working. Repairs have been attempted, however technological advances in fundus imaging systems have now rendered the current camera system archaic and non- functional. Not having a functioning retina camera at this busy clinic, which also receives referrals for fundus photography from other CBOC s, hinders patient care greatly, and thus a replacement unit needs to be purchased as soon as possible. The new annex at 63rd & Market Street for the time being will be performing tele-retinal imaging until such time Optometry and/or Ophthalmology begin offering services at this location. 4.
