STATEMENT OF WORK FOR ELECTROSURGICAL GENERATOR WITH ARGON BEAM COAGULATION Introduction and Background The VA New York Harbor Healthcare System is dedicated to providing quality health care to veterans using the abilities of all employees supported by our commitment to education and research. We are recognized locally, regionally, and nationally as a leader in quality patient care, positive customer service, medical/allied health education, health-related research and employment opportunities. We seek to be the provider of choice of veterans and the community by offering an efficient, integrated quality health care system capable of providing a full range of primary, specialty and chronic health care services in a system that is readily accessible and responsive to change. The Surgical Service at New York Harbor Healthcare System provides surgical services for the benefit of veterans that improves their health and well-being with trust, respect, commitment, compassion and excellence through practice, innovative research and unprecedented education. The service offer a full range of outpatient and inpatient elective surgical services, including: specialty clinics in the fields of General Surgery, Plastic Surgery, Cardiothoracic Surgery, and Vascular Surgery. The Surgeons at the VA provide thoughtful consultation to our referring colleagues and state-of-the-art surgical care to our patients. Electrosurgery Electrosurgery is the application of a high-frequency (radio frequency) alternating polarity, electrical current to biological tissue as a means to cut, coagulate, desiccate, or fulgurate tissue. (These terms are used in specific ways for this methodology see below). Its benefits include the ability to make precise cuts with limited blood loss. Electrosurgical devices are frequently used during surgical operations helping to prevent blood loss in hospital operating rooms or in outpatient procedures. In electrosurgical procedures, the tissue is heated by an electric current. Although electrical devices that create a heated probe may be used for the cauterization of tissue in some applications, electrosurgery is refers to a different method than electrocautery. Electrocautery uses heat conduction from a probe heated to a high temperature by a direct electrical current (much in the manner of a soldering iron). This may be accomplished by direct current from dry-cells in a penlight-type device. Electrosurgery is a term used to describe multiple modalities that use electricity to cause thermal destruction of tissue through dehydration, coagulation, or vaporization. The two types of electrosurgery most commonly used are high-frequency electrosurgery and electrocautery. Objective The VA NYHHS PM&R Service is seeking sources to provide a Electrosurgical Generator with Argon Beam Coagulation. The addition of argon gas enables more precise delivery of RF energy to tissue compared to the traditional spray coagulation. Argon gas helps clear pooled blood and can reduce surgeon effort. It also displaces oxygen from the immediate surgical field reducing the carbonization of tissue, blood loss and smoke plume thereby providing adequate visualization of the surgical site. The vendor shall be able to provide a brand name HelixAR Electrosurgical Generator with Argon Beam Coagulation from CONMED MONOPOLAR SPECIALTY Lap Mode Limits output voltages below 2,700 volts in all of the HelixAR Monopolar modalities. Lap mode is designed to help reduce the risk of inadvertent burns from capacitive coupling from excess voltage. Specialty: Robotic Surgery, All Minimally Invasive Procedures Fluids Mode Effectively kick starts the initiation of surgical energy providing an immediate clinical effect in high load/low impedance conditions typically used in procedures where there is fluid in the surgical site. Specialty: Urology, Gynecology, Arthroscopy Pulse Cut Mode Provides controlled cutting for critical dissections necessary for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Specialty: Gasteroenterology Pulse Coagulation Mode Provides pulsing bursts of coagulation energy for more control of hemostasis at the operative site, resulting in visibly less tissue carbonization than standard coagulation at equivalent power settings. Specialty: General Surgery, ENT Argon Beam Coagulation (ABC) Modes Argon Dissect Works with the CONMED dissecting electrode on compatible ABC ® handpieces to provide argon enhanced cutting with four varying levels of hemostasis. Specialty: General Surgery, Plastic Surgery, Orthopedic Surgery Pulse Argon Provides controlled and precision hemostasis for small surface bleeders with four pulse timings. Specialty: Gasteroenterology Other Requirements: Dynamic Response Technology Continuous Microprocessor Safety Monitoring Automatic Tank Switchover Smart Cart Color LCD Display Wireless Footswitch capability Update Feature Warranty: Equipment will come with 1 year manufacturer s warranty Place of Delivery The equipment(s) will be delivered to VA Medical Center Surgical Service Attn: Stanley Read 423rd East 23rd St New York, NY 10010 Product Installation/Assembly The vendor shall be responsible for determination of and compliance with federal and state or local code requirements, design data, and other factors necessary to install or deliver the items at the desired location.
