Objective This document highlights the technical specifications and services being requested by the Connecticut VAMC for consideration towards the purchase of new Nanoknife Ablation System.

Project Management / Equipment Implementation Product delivery will be the responsibility of the Offeror. Working with the Connecticut VAMC project management POC, the Vendor will be responsible for coordinating and performing the delivery, implementation, and training for the devices. Background/Justification/ VA Connecticut will purchase one new Nanoknife Ablation System. NanoKnife is a relatively new ablation technology that is 510(k) approved for the surgical ablation of soft tissue and utilizes low energy electrical pulses to cause permanent cell destruction, known as irreversible electroporation (IRE). This technology does not utilize thermal energy to kill the cells, which is unique among other currently available therapies - radiofrequency ablation (heat) and cryotherapy (freezing), and has the benefit of a more precise cell kill zone without damage to neighboring tissues. The NanoKnife technology is currently being used at other institutions by multiple disciplines including surgeons in the operating room and interventional radiologists in the IR suite for locally advanced pancreatic cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma and other liver lesions, lung lesions, kidney tumors, and is currently being evaluated in a phase I trial for focal ablation of prostate cancer. The WHVA is being considered as a participant in a multicenter phase II trial for focal ablation of prostate cancer using the NanoKnife technology. The technology surpasses technology currently available at this and all other regional facilities, and supports the regionalization of Urological surgery for VISN 1 strategic planning.
