Background. ESWL therapy is being offered at Mann-Grandstaff Veteran Affairs Medical Center (MGVAMC) to service Veterans with kidney stones. ESWL is a very common non-invasive treatment modality for removing kidney stones. Currently, our VA surgeons have an MOU (memorandum of understanding) agreement to provide this service in the community hospitals. This is a very cost-prohibitive approach, and the addition of this contract would provide significant cost savings to the facility. The facility requires a mobile solution for the following: Specifically targets proximal stones, and mid ureteral stones. Pulverizes calculi in vivo into smaller fragments than other Vendors which then expulse spontaneously. Shockwaves are generated and focused onto a single point, not an area, within the body. Treatment lasts less than one hour. Little or no anesthesia required. 2. Scope. The scale of work involved requires a representative from the Contractor to bring in the ESWL machine. This is accomplished each time the procedures are performed. This procedure will be provided in the MGVAMC Operating Room (OR). 3. Specific Tasks.

The following steps would be included in this contract: Patients are seen in the Urology clinic and scheduled for the ESWL procedure. Requests sent to the surgery scheduler for time in the Main Operating Room OR Manager will stack cases for certain OR days, (example 3-5 patient per day), twice a month. Contractor representative is contacted to alert him/her regarding upcoming cases. Machine is brought in day of surgery. Set fee is established for per person (unilateral/bilateral) procedures. Contractor to have 48-hour turn-around time for facilities in the Inland and Pacific Northwest region for surgical patients requiring ESWL. 4. Performance Monitoring (if applicable). Contractor representatives are required to provide the OR Nurse Manager with accreditation and credentialing for use of the ESWL machine. This documentation will be kept on file in the manager s office. On the day(s) of surgical cases, the ESWL machine will be inspected and cleared for use by the Bio-Med staff prior to it s use in the main Operating Room. This inspection will take place every separate time it is to be used. 5. Security Requirements. Per attachment 6500. The personnel shall notify the designated POC on arrival and be escorted to their space to perform the services. The C&A requirements do not apply. A Security Accreditation Package is not required. 6. Government-Furnished Equipment (GFE)/Government-Furnished Information (GFI). N/A 7. Other Pertinent Information or Special Considerations. N/A 8.
