POST-NOTICE / Purchase of washing and disinfection machine and autoclave with option to purchase for Vaasa Central Hospital

The Ostrobothnia Welfare Area hereby announces the tendering for instrument washing machines and autoclaves. The subject of the procurement is to be acquired for the use of the Ostrobothnia Welfare Area's instrument cleaning unit: - washing and disinfection machine (capacity 18 DIN baskets), one (1) unit with transfer trolley in 2026 (and two (2) units as an option) and - autoclave (capacity 12 SPRI baskets), one (1) unit with automatic loading and unloading lines in 2026 (and one (1) unit as an option) installed and ready for use at Vaasa Central Hospital, at the instrument cleaning center. The pass-through instrument washing machines to be acquired, which comply with standard EN ISO 15883-1, 15883-2 and 15883-5, will be placed in the existing washing machine line (map attached). The pass-through autoclaves to be acquired, which comply with standard EN 285, will replace the current outdated autoclaves in their existing location. The autoclave line must remain operational during the equipment replacement. Equipment that is in the line and is not being replaced must be usable during the replacement of the equipment being renewed. There are no alternative spaces, and no other machines are available for the items to be washed. Therefore, other machines cannot be moved in the space. Installation spaces and maximum equipment dimensions are described in the request for proposals. As an option, two (2) washing and disinfection machines and one (1) autoclave will be acquired, provided that funding is granted. The same type of machines will be acquired, which allows the use of baskets, racks and other accessories in both machines, thus providing flexibility in carrying out work, also in case of malfunctions. Spare parts and consumables are the same. Maintenance can be performed simultaneously, which can save on maintenance costs. Staff will be trained once for the daily use of both similar machines. The use of similar machines reduces possible operational errors and uncertainties. Maintenance training for the contracting authority's staff is the same and simultaneous for both machines. The supplier is responsible for the installation of the equipment, bringing the equipment into operational condition with finishing touches (protective sheeting, pipe insulation, supports and similar work), testing, trial operation, and training of the contracting authority's operating and maintenance personnel.
