Description

Specifications Objective The Surgical Care Line at Southern Arizona VA Health Care System (SAVAHCS) in Tucson, Arizona, requires medical instruments for performing catheter-based dilation of sinus ostia, also known as functional endoscopic dilation of the sinuses. Surgeons use these devices to dilate the sinus openings with the benefit of requiring little to no tissue removal inside the nose and sinuses. This minimally invasive procedure allows for treatment on an outpatient basis and may be used with other medical therapies or sinus surgery techniques, allowing for future treatment options if the condition progresses. The Surgical Care Line requires the Balloon Sinusplasty by Acclarent or a functionally equal device. Requirements "The equipment is FDA-approved for catheter-based dilation of the sinus. "The technology uses small, soft, flexible devices that enter entirely through the nostrils. These devices are designed to gently open blocked sinus openings without tissue or bone removal. "No tissue or bone is removed when using this technology, reducing bleeding associated with the procedure. "While conditions vary with each patient, procedures have a normal recovery time of 24 hours - 48 hours. "This technology is an endoscopic tool and may be used with other medical therapies or sinus surgery techniques. It does not limit future treatment options if you have progressive disease. "The device should be indicated for access and dilatation of the maxillary, sphenoid, and frontal OSTIA, not just the recess. "The device should have an atraumatic light guide cable that can confirm the wire has transverse the true sinus ostia and also that the wire can provide a rail for the balloon to reach distal past a tortuous frontal outflow tract and ostium. This is a brand name or equal to requirement. Please refer to clauses and provisions for instructions on how to bid on brand name or equal to requirements.
