Description
This is a requirement for a 36-month maintenance contract for four Wassenburg Typhoon Plus Plasma Systems located Health Board wide within the Hospital Sterile Services Departments (HSDUs). The Plasma Systems are used to dry flexible endoscopes following the decontamination process, supporting compliance with decontamination standards and the safe delivery of patient care across the Health Board. Ongoing maintenance is essential to ensure equipment reliability, patient safety, and regulatory compliance. Without this contract, equipment downtime could increase, potentially disrupting decontamination services, delaying the availability of endoscopes for clinical use, and impacting service delivery across the Health Board.
