Page 3 of 3 Special Notice Request for Information Only The Department of Veterans Affairs, NCO20 is looking for sources of the following. STATEMENT OF WORK/SALIENT CHARACTERISTICS Department of Veterans Affairs Seattle VA Medical Center Overview: Portland VAMC requires Prospective contractors to provide the following Cianna Medical SAVI SCOUT. Brand Name or Equal per FAR 52.211-6 Brand Name or Equal to Cianna Medical. 1 EA SSCSYS-01 - SCOUT Console 2.5D and Guide Objective: Our objective is to provide Portland VAMC with necessary equipment to provide the best care for our veterans. OHSU (Oregon health and Science University) no longer provides needle localization for sentinel lymph node biopsy. Which the VA relied upon and currently has equipment to support. OHSU has since upgraded to the Savi scout system which employs a microchip into the breast tissue. The SCOUT System employs micro-impulse radar and infrared light (IR) technology to determine the relative proximity of the Reflector, which is placed into the breast during a prior procedure. The Console provides the micro-impulse radar signal to the Handpiece along with power for the infrared light sources. The Handpiece delivers the micro-impulse radar signal and infrared light into the breast tissue and in turn receives signals reflected back from the Reflector. The Console processes the reflected radar signals to provide the surgeon with Reflector proximity information via audible and visual feedback. Basically this will be our new system for breast tumor localization Salient Characteristics The Government requires the following characteristics to be met: Must be compatible with SAVI Scout System Small non-radioactive, non-magnetic device that allows for real time distance measurement with a 60mm detection range, 360 degree detection within 1 mm of accuracy in pinpointing the location of tumor.
