Banaras Hindu University (Department of Higher Education) in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh invites bids for an Electro Surgical Unit (ESU) with Argon Plasma Coagulation (APC) capabilities. The scope includes ESU basic unit with multi-mode operation and simultaneous mono polar/bipolar coagulation, plus APC functionality with two connected gas cylinders and integrated instrument recognition. Required accessories include APC probes (reusable, washable, sterilizable) with specified sterilization method, catheter length, probe diameter, and overall accessory lineup. The tender specifies 5L argon gas cylinders and an option for a comprehensive warranty, potentially superseding catalogue terms. The award will consider vendor financial standing, with an EMD of ₹650,000 and quantity adjustment rights up to ±25% during execution. This procurement targets a high-accuracy, hospital-grade ESU/APC solution for medical procedures at BHU, aiming for seamless integration with existing OR workflows and compliance to stated standards.
