What the buyer is looking for
Within the Central Sterilization Department (CSA) of Erasmus MC, six steam sterilizers are currently in use. These installations fulfil an essential function within the process of cleaning, disinfecting and sterilizing reusable medical devices. Of the six steam sterilizers, four need to be replaced. With this tender, Erasmus MC therefore aims to replace four steam sterilizers with future-proof, reliable and efficiently deployable installations that match the processes, capacity and quality and continuity requirements of the CSA. The replacement concerns a conservation declaration for a period of approximately eight years. 4
