BB21 San Francisco, CA 94121 SALIENT CHARACTERISTICS Any "Or Equal" products being offered must have the following salient characteristics: oMust be able to deliver precise, uniform, superficial ablation of the esophageal epithelium to a depth of between 500 uM and 1000 uM. oMust be approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) to provide ablation in the gastrointestinal tract of bleeding and nonbleeding sites, including but not limited to: Barrett's esophagus, radiation proctitis, and gastric vascular ectasia. oFor treatment of circumferential Barrett's esophagus, must be able to deliver ablation of the entire circumference of the esophagus using balloon ablation catheters of the following diameters 18 mm, 22 mm, 25 mm, 28 mm and 31 mm in size. oFor short, non-circumferential segments of Barrett's esophagus, must be able to deliver focal ablation of the esophageal tissue using paddle electrodes that mount on the end of an endoscope to provide precise, directed ablation. oMust have the capability (including computer software) for automatically measuring the esophagus internal diameter at several levels of the esophagus using sizing balloons. Must have automated method for calibrating the sizing balloon. After calibration, must have automated mechanism for inflating and deflating the sizing balloon to calculate the balloon volume and diameter. Must provide information on a digital LED or LCD screen about the recommended balloon diameter to use for circumferential ablation. Must be able to control balloon inflation/deflation with foot pedal. Must have balloon inflation limit of 0.31 ATM. oFor circumferential ablation using a balloon catheter, must be able to provide radiofrequency power of 300 watts at 460 kHz in a bipolar mode under power control while continuously monitoring and displaying power, energy density, and balloon inflation pressure. Must be able to provide specified energy density of 10.0-15.0 J/cm2. Must be able to control balloon catheter inflation and cautery using a foot pedal. oFor treatment of short, non-circumferential Barrett's esophagus using a paddle electrode attached to the endoscope, must be able to provide radiofrequency power of 104 watts at 460 kHz in bipolar mode under power control while continuously monitoring and displaying power density and energy density. oMust have LES display on generator that shows: a. when system is armed (active) and ready to deliver energy; b. when system is delivering radiofrequency ablation; c. when the system has encountered a fault; d. the maximum power setting (Watts) that can be applied; e. the maximum energy density (in Joules/cm2) that can be applied (based upon the desired amount of energy divided by the catheter electrode area); f. the balloon diameter; g. the balloon pressure (in ATM). oMust be controlled by software that is updatable. Software must control the balloon inflation process and electrocautery application. oMust provide information at end of procedure of the number of cautery applications delivered and the amount of energy delivered. oMust weigh no more than 40 lbs. oMust be no larger than 18 inches wide, 22 inches deep, and 8 inches high. oMust be approved by the FDA to interface with the following FDA approved ablation catheters: "Barrx 360 balloon ablation catheters: #32041-18; 32041-22; 32041-25; 32041-28; and 32041-31.
