GSA Federal Supply Schedule (FSS); if applicable. The proposed product specifications for this requirement are included in lieu of a proposed Statement of Work (SOW): Proposed Specifications : Metronic PlasmaBlade 4 0S (Or Equal) Tissue Effect Level (LCD Display) Mode Power (W-RMS) Max Output Volts CUT 1 Low Cut .5W 1000 CUT 2 Low Cut 2W 1100 CUT 3 Low Cut 6W 950 CUT 4 Low Cut 10W 1400 CUT 5 Low Cut 20W* 1400 CUT 6 Medium Cut 20W 500 CUT 7 Medium Cut 35W 550 CUT 8 Medium Cut 50W** 1400 CUT 9 High Cut (Blend 1) 25W 1500 CUT 10 High Cut (Blend 2) 50W 1400 COAG 1 Low Coag 15W 1400 COAG 2 Low Coag 20W 1400 COAG 3 Low Coag 25W 1400 COAG 4 Low Coag 30W 1400 COAG 5 Low Coag 35W*** 1600 COAG 6 High Coag 30W 2400 COAG 7 High Coag 35W 2400 COAG 8 High Coag 40W 2550 COAG 9 High Coag 45W 2600 COAG 10 High Coag 50W 2600 * When Cut Level is changed from 5 to 6, there is a change in Cut Mode from Low Cut to Medium Cut. ** When Cut Level is changed from 8 to 9, Cut Mode changes from Medium Cut to High Cut (Blend 1). Hence, output power will increase when the Cut Level is changed from 9 to 8. *** When Coag Level is changed from 5 to 6, Coag Mode changes from Low Coag to High Coag. Hence, output power will increase when the Coag Level is changed from 6 to 5. **** The listed Maximum Output Voltage values pertain to device utilization with the generator. The overall Maximum Output Voltage is 2750 Max Output Volts (Vpk), in accordance with device utilization on the generator.
