RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, or designee, to execute on behalf of the Health Services Director, a purchase order with Steris Corporation, in an amount not to exceed $267,000 for the purchase of instrument washers for the Sterile Processing Department at the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC).
FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval of this action will result in a one-time capital expenditure of up to $267,000 during FY 22-23 for the purchase of instrument washers and will be funded entirely by Hospital Enterprise Fund I revenues.
BACKGROUND:
The CCRMC Sterile Processing Department uses Steris Corporation as a prime resource for instrument washers. The washers are used to wash every instrument used in the Operating Room, as well as Labor and Delivery unit and any other area where instruments may be used. The washer disinfectors offer fast cycle times with low water consumption allowing our facility to run efficiently while increasing throughput, reducing backlog, and improving workflow.
