Statement of Work
Client
The Corporal Michael J Crescenz VAMC
Job Name
Cryoablation System
Requested by
Diagnostic Imaging/Interventional Radiology
Summary
The Corporal Michael J Crescenz VAMC Diagnostic Imaging Department is requesting a Visual-ICEî Cryoablation System for Interventional Radiology procedures.
Project Scope
The Visual-ICEî Cryoablation System is intended for the cryoablative destruction of tissue during minimally invasive percutaneous procedures. During a cryoablation procedure, extreme cold is delivered through very small needles (1.5 mm or 2.4 mm diameter), creating an iceball to destroy the targeted tissue. The physician monitors the ablation zone to ensure adequate treatment using direct visualization or image guidance such as ultrasound or computed tomography (CT).
The Visual-ICE System features a mobile console with a large HD touch screen user interface to control the circulation of high-pressure gases (argon for freezing, helium for thawing) through closed-tip cryoablation needles connected to the system. The system incorporates i-Flowî Technology, a proprietary software algorithm that optimizes performance of each Galil Medical needle.
This system controls the use of i-Thawî needles to actively thaw ice without the use of helium and the use of needles with CX features to perform FastThaw without helium or perform track ablation to minimize the potential for track seeding.
Real-time temperature monitoring, through thermal sensors connected to the system, enables procedural control to protect critical anatomy.
Salient Features
Unique cautery feature controls track ablation options
Real-time needle tip temperature display confirms needle performance
i-Thaw and FastThaw choices shorten time for needle release
Secondary internal gas dryers produce consistent iceballs and boost freezing performance for all needles
Consistent gas flow rates are maintained to active needles, producing the strongest possible ice
Software controls optimize performance for simultaneous activation of multiple needles
Enlarged, positionable timers allow procedure status monitoring from a distance
Selections to maximize, minimize, scale or scroll customize the displayed data
Adjustable freeze intensity (5% increments) regulates ice growth
Ten separate system channels allow independent control per channel
Twenty needle ports provide opportunity to treat large tumors and to conduct multiple simultaneous treatments
Different iceball shapes and sizes
Large HD touch screen controls operation and displays procedure status
Buttons provide easy cryoablation control
Color coded bars display ongoing procedural summary
Optional cycle programming offers standardized protocol
Patented Multi-Point Thermal Sensors measure temperature in four points along a 3 cm distance to continuously monitor temperature in surrounding tissue
Real-time numeric and graphical displays from inserted MTS needles provide visual feedback on temperatures near critical structures and/or ablation sites
Lightweight, flexible, pencil-thin gas lines allow system use in confined spaces
The EZ-Connect2 Dual Cylinder Adapter connects a second argon cylinder to minimize procedural disruption and to save costs by maximizing cylinder depletion
Built-in gas regulators control consistent operating pressures
Gas indicators display real-time estimates of remaining gas time to minimize procedure interruption
Online predictive diagnostics allow advance planning for maintenance
Remote connectivity provides online software updates and downloads
Software operates needles with advanced capabilities, including cautery, FastThaw, and needle identification
Software is configurable for future needle features and properties
System operates with existing needle portfolio to treat a wide range of tumors
