RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute, on behalf of the Health Services Director, a purchase order with Steris Corporation in an amount not to exceed $265,355 for the purchase of two V-Pro Max Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide Sterilizers for the Central Sterilization Unit at the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC).

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% funding is included in the Hospital Enterprise Fund I budget.

BACKGROUND:

CCRMC’s current, non-liquid base sterilizers have reached their end of service and are in need of replacement. The Central Sterilization Unit reviewed two options to suit its operational needs. The V-Pro Max was determined to best suit the needs of the Unit both now and into the future. The purchase of this equipment will enable staff to reliably sterilize and disinfect surgical equipment utilized during procedures.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this purchase order is not approved, the CCRMC and Health Centers will be unable to use the safest, most reliable equipment required to sterilize surgical instruments and equipment that are too delicate to be sterilized in a steam or high heat unit.
