BACKGROUND: Statement of Work Brand Name Item: Essential/significant physical, functional, or performance characteristics. NovaSure is an impedance controlled endometrial ablation system. The NovaSure RF Controller is a constant power output generator with a nominal maximum power delivery capability of 180 watts. The controller automatically calculates the power output based on the uterine cavity length and width measurements that the user key enters into the controller. Monitoring tissue impedance during the ablation process automatically controls the depth of endo-myometrial ablation. The NovaSure procedure self-terminates once endometrial vaporization and superficial myometrial desiccation have reached 50 ohms of impedance at the tissue-electrode interface, or when the timer reaches 2 minutes. Integral to the controller is the cavity integrity assessment system which is designed to determine whether there is a defect or perforation in the wall of the uterus. A vacuum pump contained within the NovaSure RF controller creates and maintains a vacuum in the uterine cavity throughout the endometrial ablation procedure. Minimum requirements: Compatibility NovaSure RF controller, NovaSure CO2 Canister, NovaSure Desiccant, NovaSure foot switch and Power cord Purpose Safety and effectiveness of the use of the NovaSure system was compared to wire loop resection of the endometrium followed by roller ball ablation in premenopausal women suffering from menorrhagia secondary to benign causes.

To my knowledge, the restrictions listed above will not limit the acquisition to an item peculiar to one manufacturer. DISCLAIMER This RFI is issued solely for information and planning purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation. All information received in response to this RFI that is marked as proprietary will be handled accordingly. In accordance with FAR 15.201(e), responses to this notice are not offers and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract.
