Requirement Description: The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Equipment Life Cycle Management (ELCM) Program identified Skytron® Image Processors Video Units as a candidate for a VA-wide (otherwise referred to as national ) single award Requirements contract. Skytron® Image Processors Video Units are multi-component systems that are widely used to view live, color video of the interior of the body during diagnostic and therapeutic minimally invasive surgery (MIS). During MIS, an endoscope (in addition to other surgical instruments) is inserted through natural openings in the body or through small incisions. MIS procedures have an advantage over open surgery because they require smaller incisions, produce less scarring, inflict less trauma on the patient, and result in shorter recovery times.
