This requirement is put forth as unrestricted. The VA Long Beach Healthcare Center seeks to issue a purchase order for various Cardiac Catheters and products. Catheters are steerable thin flexible tubes containing multiple electrodes. These catheters can provide information about the location of the electrical impulse conduction path (called electrophysiological mapping) responsible for heart muscle contraction. The catheters also can transmit RF (radiofrequency) current through an electrode at the catheter tip for the purpose of ablation (destruction) of a small segment of heart muscle responsible for abnormal impulse conduction. When used with the CARTO® system and REF-STAR® reference device, a real-time 3-dimentional image of the heart chamber can be made. For ablation, the catheter can be used with a compatible commercially available RF generator and dispersive pad which carries energy from the patient's body back to the RF generator. These items will be used in invasive cardiac electrophysiology laboratories and other procedural suites in the Veterans Health Administration for invasive electrophysiology and arrhythmia ablation procedures.
