The system, a catheter navigation and mapping platform, is intended for use in the Cath Lab to display three-dimensional positions of electrophysiology catheters and cardiac electrical activity. The equipment package includes one EnSite W EP System, one EnSite Contact Force Module, one Ampere Generator Kit, one Ampere Remote Control with a 15-meter fiber cord, one Cool Point Irrigation Pump, three ViewMate Multi Ultrasound systems, and one WorkMate Claris Recording System 120 with an EP-4 Cardiac Stimulator. The government intends to award a Firm-Fixed Price contract, but no pricing information is currently available as this is strictly a market research initiative to assess industry capability and availability.
