All information contained in this Request for Information (RFI) is preliminary as well as subject to amendment and is in no way binding on the Government. Information submitted in response to this notice is voluntary; the Government will not pay for information requested nor will it compensate any respondent for any cost incurred in developing information provided to the Government.

Title: 5 Wound Vacuums for Wound Therapy -Jackson MS VA Medical Center 2. Purpose: The purpose of this RFI is to identify potential sources which will aid in defining the procurement strategy (e.g., set-aside, sole source, unrestricted) for a solicitation the VA intends on issuing shortly for the following: Model / Part Number Item /Description of Supplies/Equipment Qty CAPULTDEV01/US.S V.A.C.ULTA THERAPY UNIT with V.A.C. Veraflow Therapy physical specs: 22cm x 26cm x 19cm 5 VACEXTWAR/1 YR. S Extended Warranty - 1 year 5 The anticipated Small Business Administration (SBA) size standard for the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code __339112__ is __1,000 employees_. STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW) 2. Contract Title: 5 Wound Vacuums for Wound Therapy 3. Background: The nursing services department is 5 Therapy Units as a technology addition for Veteran wound treatment at the GVSM. The Therapy unit must be an integrated wound management system that provides negative pressure wound therapy with an instillation option. Negative pressure wound therapy in the absence of instillation is intended to create an environment that promotes wound healing by secondary or tertiary (delayed primary) intention by preparing the wound bed for closure, reducing edema, promoting granulation tissue formation and perfusion, and by removing exudate and infectious material. The instillation option is indicated for patients who would benefit from vacuum-assisted drainage and controlled delivery of topical wound treatment solutions and suspensions over the wound bed. 4. Scope. The Nursing Service department currently utilizes similar equipment under a lease agreement for wound treatment. This procurement will serve to take the place of the rental agreement. 5. Specifications/Characteristics: Minimum Abilities of the equipment. Large Interface Screen: Intuitive, easy to use menu for simplified therapy programming. Volumetric Delivery: Therapy Unit provides volumetric fluid delivery utilizing a pump for reliable fluid delivery. Dynamic Pressure Control Therapy: It maintains a low level of negative pressure at the wound site between cycles. It helps prevent leaks and fluid accumulation that can occur when there is no negative pressure at the wound site. Dressing Soak: Tool allows the user to soak the dressing in the wound with instillation solution in preparation for a dressing change to facilitate dressing removal, potentially improving patient comfort. Test Cycle: This tool is used to perform an abbreviated Therapy instillation cycle. Each phase of the cycle will be tested to ensure system is set up and functioning as intended. Fill Assist: Fill Assist allows the user to monitor initial wound fill by manually starting and stopping instillation to determine correct instill volume after dressing is applied. Once determined, this volume will be the set point for each subsequent instill phase of therapy. Cassette: Disposable component connects the Therapy Unit to the solution bag / bottle and dressing tubing. It provides convenient solution storage and delivery. Touch Screen User Interface: The touch screen user interface allows for easy navigation through operational and help menus. A screen guard is available to help prevent unintentional changes. A settings lock is available to prevent patient access to therapy settings. Adjustable Negative Pressure Settings and Therapy Modes: Settings can be selected from a range of 25 mmHg to 200 mmHg in increments of 25 mmHg. In addition, the Therapy mode can be set for continuous negative pressure or Dynamic Pressure Control Therapy. Seal Check Leak Detector: This tool assists the user in finding negative pressure leaks in the system through the use of audible tones and on-screen visual aids during the troubleshooting process. History Reports: The Therapy System provides three possible reports: 1. Alarm History, 2. Therapy History, and 3. Patient History. These chronologically logged reports include the date and times for therapy starts / stops, therapy settings, alarm occurrences, and disposable component changes. They can be reviewed on-screen or transferred electronically from the Therapy Unit via a non-powered USB flash memory stick or SD memory card. Monitors and maintains target pressure at the wound site, helping to deliver consistent therapy. This system includes therapy unit hardware and software, wound exudate collection canister, canister detection method, multi-lumen tubing, connector and Pad. In-Line Tubing Connectors: The system incorporates an in-line dressing connector and tubing clamps to conveniently allow the wound dressing to be temporarily disconnected from the therapy unit. Canisters: The Therapy Unit is optimized for use with 500 mL or 1000 mL canisters. These are the same canisters used with Therapy Unit. Canisters are single use, latex free, sterile components. Canister Release Button: The canister release button is illuminated and will flash when the canister is full. Intensity Setting: Intensity is related to the time it takes to reach the target negative pressure therapy level after the initiation of therapy. The lower the intensity setting, the longer it will take to reach the target negative pressure. Wound Image Analysis: Digital wound images can be uploaded from a digital camera into the Therapy Unit. When the wound perimeter is traced on-screen with the provided stylus, wound image surface area and volume can be calculated and trended by the therapy unit. A chronological graphical history of the wound (with wound image area trend chart) can be viewed on-screen or this information can be transferred from the Therapy Unit electronically. This information is intended to be used by the treating clinician as a mechanism for providing a record of wound healing progress; it is not intended for use in the diagnosis and treatment of wounds. Hanger Mechanism: The therapy unit can be securely mounted to an I.V. pole, a bed footboard, or a wheelchair. Battery Operation: To facilitate patient transfer, battery operation is available with the Therapy Unit. During typical usage, the battery may provide up to six hours of operation before needing to be recharged Technical Specifications: Classification - Equipment must not be suitable for use in the presence of a flammable anaesthetic mixture with air, oxygen or nitrous oxide.
