Performance Work Statement (PWS) Design and Content Introduction The VA Maine HCS requires the three Werewolf coblation systems for the Operating Room at Togus. Background Our goal in the VA is to provide veterans the world-class benefits and services they have earned and to do so by adhering to the highest standards of compassion, commitment, excellence, professionalism, integrity, accountability, and stewardship. The Werewolf coblation System can be used on a range of joint tissue types to provide coblation technology across a range of different settings. Designed for surgeons who want to restore joints as close as possible to their natural anatomy. VA Maine is looking to introduce this new technology to provide the standard of care. Scope (Provide an overview of the PWS emphasizing the most important aspects of your requirement and defining the boundaries of the contractor s performance responsibilities). Coblation technology means controlled ablation. The coblation process involves the creation and application of an energy field called glow discharge plasma. This plasma ablates tissue through a chemical process as highly-energized particles in the plasma break down molecules in the tissue. Coblation technology provides two distinct advantages to the surgeon: Coblation technology operates at lower temperatures than other radio-frequency (RF)-based technologies. The 100 m 200 m plasma field allows for precise removal of soft tissue with minimal damage to untargeted tissue. FLOW~IQ technology changes the size and intensity of the plasma field based on desired tissue effects. Enables VAC mode to rinse the joint and clear debris with a simple push of a button. The WEREWOLF system enables surgeons to treat various pathologies while minimizing instrument exchanges A single wand features 5* distinct operating modes, including VAC mode which quickly clears debris and optimizes visibility Intuitive touch screen and customized surgeon profiles simplify user experience. Compatible with 18-pin QUANTUM 2 wands Applicable Directives (List all documents referenced in the next section 5.0, Performance Requirements, with which the contractor will have to comply in performance of the contract effort. If only portions of a given document apply, specifically identify the applicable portions).

Performance Requirements (Identify what the contractor is required to do (major tasks and subtasks). The vendor will provide the Fluent Fluid Management System as specified in the quote provided. No additional requirements for these units. Deliverables (List all data required to manage or monitor contractor performance).
