Approve and authorize the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of Health Services Department, to
execute a Blanket Purchase Order with Abbott Medical Optics Inc., in the amount of
$300,000, for equipment and supplies for cataract surgery at Contra Costa Regional Medical
Center, for the period from July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2013.
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% Enterprise Fund I.
BACKGROUND:
Abbott Medical Optics, Inc. (AMO) manufactures the equipment used in cataract surgery
cases in the Operating Room at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center. The AMO
Phacoemulsifier uses ultrasonic waves to break up the cataract and then aspirates the
material into a suction canister. AMO provides the proprietary hand pieces, tubing and
blades associated with the cataract procedures as well as the lens inserted in the into the eye
after the cataract is removed. AMO is used because so much of the consumables are
proprietary and cannot be purchased through another vendor.
