Statement of Need Pulse Laser System Bay Pines VA Healthcare System

1. Scope of Work C.W. Bill Young VA Medical Center is requesting to purchase a Super Pulse Laser System (BRAND NAME OR EQUAL) that has reached end of life.

2. Background Surgery Service is requesting to purchase a laser system intended for vaporization, incision, excision, ablation, or photocoagulation of soft tissue for many surgical specialties. The Laser Engineering Aurora MD-30 CO2 Laser is a Carbon Dioxide (CO2) surgical laser system that can deliver up to 30 watts of laser power in the 11.2-micron range in the infrared. The laser can be used in a variety of surgical specialties. The power can be selectively delivered either through an articulated arm or through infrared fibers using an integrated electromechanically controlled optical switch that directs the beam either vertically into the articulated arm or at an angle into the fiber. The laser can operate in either continuous wave, pulsed or super pulse modes. It can deliver laser power down to ½ a watt and can operate down to millisecond pulse widths. The system also has a visible aiming beam to indicate where the CO2 laser beam will be delivered.

The laser system has a 12inch highly visible color touchscreen to control the laser. It consists of a small self-contained floor standing, easily moveable console which contains the laser and all associated electronics and delivery systems.

The Aurora MD-30 CO2 Laser has an integrated dual switch adapter that is operated by an electrical linear motor and controlled by the console. The switch allows the user to redirect the laser beam from the articulated arm to the fiber as desired.

3. Place of Performance The product is requested to be delivered to the Surgery Service, C.W. Bill Young VA Medical Center located at 10000 Bay Pines Blvd, Bay Pines, FL 33744.

4. Period of Performance The product is requested to be delivered within 30 days of award of the contract to the above location (place of performance) no later than September 1st.
