RFQ 36C26226Q1117 RFA Generator RFG-X1-120V GX1 Radiofrequency Gen 120V Kit or Equivalent.pdf.pdf

Request for Quotation (RFQ)

1. Contract Title RFA Generator RFG-X1-120V GX1 Radiofrequency Gen 120V Kit or Equivalent

2. Background The RFA generator is a critical device used during radiofrequency ablation pain intervention procedures to reduce chronic pain and decrease opioid use in patients. Currently, only one RFA Generator is available daily in the Desert Willow Pain Procedure room at the Southern Arizona VA Healthcare System. The high utilization limits the number of procedures that can be performed, resulting in extended wait times and suboptimal patient care. An additional RFA generator would allow for increased procedural capacity, especially for procedures conducted in the OR, resulting in improved care continuity and reduced reliance on community care. The RFA generator is essential, as it enables targeted pain relief by disrupting pain-signaling nerves.

3. Scope This procurement is for the purchase of an RFA generator only. The equipment will support a wide range of interventional pain procedures, including but not limited to knee, hip, sacroiliac, and facet joint interventions.

4. Salient Characteristics (Minimum Requirements) The quoted product must meet or exceed the following:

• Four independent output channels (for treatment of multiple sites and operation in monopolar, bipolar, or pulsed RF modes)

• Easy-to-use capacitive touchscreen with auto calibration

• Contact Quality Monitoring (CQM) for accurate electrode and ground pad connection

• Durable aluminum chassis and standard ground pad compatibility

• USB support for software updates and system upgrades

• Designed for multiple interventional pain procedures (e.g., facet, sacroiliac, and peripheral nerve ablations)

• FDA-cleared, Class II medical device; compliant with applicable safety/regulatory standards

• Standard voltage configurations (120V/220V/240V) for clinic compatibility

• New equipment only; used or refurbished items are not acceptable
