This requirement will be IAW FAR clause 52.211-6, “Brand Name or Equal” which requires that the offeror indicate each product that is being offered as an “equal” product. For each equal product, the offeror must include a description reflecting the characteristics and level of quality that will satisfy the salient physical, functional, or performance characteristics of the equal product(s) specified in the solicitation. The offeror also must clearly identify the item by brand name (if any) and make/model number. Finally, the offeror must include descriptive literature, such as illustrations, drawings, or a clear reference to previously furnished descriptive data or information available to the contracting officer, and clearly describe any modifications it plans to make to a product to make it conform to the solicitation requirements.
Salient Characteristics (SC) Literature Review
Electrosurgical Unit: Monopolar/Bipolar
CLIN 0001 Valleylab FT10 Generator---VLFT10GEN
| Salient Characteristic |
| Description |
| Location in Literature |
| SC-1 |
| Must provide RF energy for monopolar and bipolar surgical applications, and tissue-fusion and vessel-sealing (up to 7mm) applications |
| SC-2 |
| The platform must automatically detect coded handsets and configures the energy platform accordingly. |
| SC-3 |
| Applied parts must be designed to work as a system |
| I.E. patient return electrodes and active instruments |
| SC-4 |
| Must supply the following Monopolar Cut Modes: |
1. Pure Cut---1-300 W
1. Blend Cut—1-200 W PURE CUT provides a clean, precise cut in any tissue with little or no hemostasis.
BLEND CUT is a conventional blended waveform that provides slower cutting with simultaneous hemostasis.
| SC-5 |
| Must have multiple coagulation modes |
| SOFT desiccates tissue at a relatively slower rate with deeper thermal penetration. It is typically performed with a ball electrode. |
FULGURATE coagulates tissue by sparking from the active electrode, through air, to the patient tissue.
SPRAY delivers wider fulguration; penetration is shallower and the affected tissue area is larger than with the FULGURATE mode.
SHARED allows two monopolar instruments to activate simultaneously in either FULGURATE or SPRAY modes. A single power setting is provided and power is shared between the two instruments.
| SC-6 |
| Must Supply Multiple Bipolar Power Outputs |
| LOW effect is for power selections of 1–15 watts. It delivers low-voltage output for precision and fine control of the amount of desiccation typically used with small-surface area instruments. |
1. Small-surface area instruments
1. Micro-tip forceps (0.4—2.2 mm) MEDIUM effect is for power selections of 16–40 watts. It is a conventional bipolar output typically used with medium-surface area electrodes.
1. Medium-surface area instruments
1. Micro-tip forceps (1.0—2.2 mm)
1. Small paddle lap forceps
1. Bipolar scissors HIGH effect is for power selections of 45–95 watts. Power remains constant over a wide range of tissue types and may be used for large electrodes.
1. Large-surface area instruments
1. Large paddle lap forceps
| SC-7 |
| Must supply a multifunctional tissue sealing system. |
| Provides consistent, controlled tissue effect in open surgical procedures |
| SC-8 |
| Must supply Auto-Bipolar Feature |
| Senses tissue impedance between the two bipolar electrodes, then uses the impedance information to automatically start or stop bipolar RF energy delivery |
| SC-9 |
| Must have a minimum 15 foot Cord length |
