Draft Statement of Need Aesculap System and Accessories Background: The Lebanon VA Medical Center (LVAMC) has URGENT requirement for one (1) Aesculap System and its accessories. Currently, the dental RME inventory requires daily reprocessing to maintain the necessary supply for normal patient load. Upon the closing of the main sterile processing service department, and relocation to mobile processing trailers, the turnover time will increase from one day to two, which will require an additional set of dental equipment to sustain the current patient schedule. The Aesculap System is a reusable rigid container system used for the packaging, transportation, and storage of instruments prior to, during, and after sterilization. It consists of the various sizes of container bottoms, container lids, and basket options, and Aesculap accessories such as instrument holders, baskets, filters, indicator cards and tamper evident locks.
