Bipolar Generator | St. Louis VAMC 36C25525Q0486
Summary
AI-generated · Aug 24, 2025Provide a portable bipolar generator system accompanied by a bipolar irrigator, interconnect cable, a 3.0 m power cord, and a single shared cart with a dual-foot pedal. The equipment must meet compact size and weight limits (generator ≤6 kg; max 8 in high, 14 in wide, 16.5 in deep; irrigator ≤7 lb; max 10 in high, 10 in wide, 8 in deep), operate from standard power supplies (4 A at 100/120 VAC or 4 A at 220/240 VAC, 530 VA, 50/60 Hz), and include dual power settings (micro and macro), low-voltage operation to minimize thermal spread, built-in fault detection and alarms, a digital display, and user-programmable memory presets. The design should be compatible with an ongoing irrigation system and fit on a shared cart with cables and the foot pedal.
The irrigation subsystem must be compatible with the bipolar generator and support continuous operation with intermittent loading, with independently adjustable coagulation and irrigation modes and adjustable flow rates. Activation should be via a dual footswitch for hands-free control, and the system should be operable either independently or in conjunction with the generator, with compatibility for sterile tubing and irrigation bags and integrated connectivity to the irrigation module and bipolar forceps. The setup should be portable and ready to integrate into the existing irrigation framework.
