RIH Automatic Endoscope Reprocessors (x4) located at Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops, BC, will include four new pass-through Automatic Endoscope Reprocessors (AERs) to be installed to replace four non-pass-through units. AERs are designed to clean and disinfect flexible gastroscopes and colonoscopes through an automated wash cycle that removes soils, followed by an automated disinfection cycle to inactivate remaining microbes. This project includes renovation costs to establish a barrier zone, ensuring compliance with Canadian Standards Association and Accreditation Canada standards. The new area will provide separate rooms for soiled and disinfected scopes, along with a dedicated storage space for clean scopes. The pass-through configuration minimizes the risk of recontamination and enhances patient safety by maintaining physical separation between dirty and clean scopes and reducing cross-contamination at touchpoints. The Services are expected to commence by April 2025 with construction end date unknown at this time.  This project may also be phased, which will be determined at a later date.

The Project Delivery method of this Project will be Design-Bid-Build (CCDC 2 2020).

IH intends to issue the successful Proponent an AIBC 6C Contract.
