General Surgery operates four days a week and will do anywhere from one to five laparoscopic (minimally invasive) surgeries per day. We must have laparoscopic instrument sets available for each of these cases which will allow the surgeon to manipulate internal organs and structures through tiny incisions no greater than an inch long. The requested CareFusion laparoscopic instrument sets will replace the laparoscopic instruments we currently utilize. We currently have 7 sets of Karl-Storz laparoscopic instruments, but they were purchased over 10 years ago and are aging out, difficult to assemble and manipulate. We are requesting 7 new instrument sets to perform the quantity of cases that we are scheduling (this includes backup sets to be available in case of contamination). Scope of Work The proposed CareFusion laparoscopic instrument sets will replace our current 7 sets of Karl-Storz laparoscopic instruments. Laparoscopic instruments are used in minimally invasive surgery procedures allowing the surgeon to manipulate internal organs and structures through a tiny incision no greater than an inch long. CareFusion (Snowden-Pencer) laparoscopic instruments bring together ergonomics, versatility, and durability with a wide selection of jaw patterns suited to each surgeon s needs. Furthermore, the design of the handles more evenly distributes pressure, which helps reduce the potential for intraoperative hand fatigue and temporary digital nerve compression. Objectives to be Achieved: Instruments may be used through any size port including 5mm ports and 12mm ports. Compatible with our ESUs (electrosurgical unit). No change in sterile processing. Use is not limited to General surgery service. Will allow for use across multiple services in the OR including General, Thoracic, GYN, and Urology. CareFusion (Snowden-Pencer) take-apart instruments can be easily assembled and disassembled, allowing visual inspection during cleaning. Vendor Requirements: Vendor is responsible for uncrating, assembling, and delivering to a specific location in the VAMC. Vendor will provide training to OR staff on proper use and provide training to Biomedical Engineering and SPS staff on proper maintenance, cleaning, and repair for General surgery instruments purchased. The vendor shall provide complete printed sets as well as electronic version of operator manuals, service manuals, IFUs, and parts lists for the instruments. The company warranties each medical device and accessory bearing the V. Mueller and Snowden-Pencer brand names to be free of functional defects in workmanship and materials when used normally for its intended use. Any V. Mueller product proven defective will be replaced or repaired at no charge. They are protected by a full-service 1-year warranty, plus a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects. Essential physical characteristics; Dimensions (if applicable) When put together, each instrument consists of a Snowden-Pencer Ergonomic Ring handle, a shaft, and an insert. Each insert has a shaft diameter of 5mm and a shaft length of 36cm. Genesis Sterilization Container: Each set of instruments will be contained within a Genesis Container Extralong container with solid bottom L x W x H: 25.2 in x 12.4 in x 8.4 in End of Statement of Work The full text of FAR provisions or clauses may be accessed electronically at http://acquisition.gov/comp/far/index.html.
