NIR system for detecting parathyreoids to Helse Bergen HF

Tenders are wanted for 1 NIR system for detecting parathyreoidea for Helse Bergen HF. In addition an option is wanted for the following: Service contract for different service levels Service courses (medical technical personnel) The equipment shall enable intraoperative autofluorescance to identify and localise parathyroid axles during endocrine throat surgery. The aim is to support the surgeon with faster and more secure visualisation of parathyreoidea, especially in situations where the glands are small, atypically located or difficult to distinguish from surrounding tissues. The equipment shall be used as an addition to the current standard surgical technique, to contribute to:- Preservation of parathyreoidea and blood supply (vasculation), in particular with thyroid surgery with potentially reduced risk of postoperative hypocalcaemia/hypoparatyreoidism - More precise dissection and decision support in demanding anatomical conditions - In the case of parathyreoid surgery: support to identify normal glands (e.g. by re-surgery), separating parathyreoidea from surrounding tissues and contributing to for safer dissection Relevant procedures/surgeries where relevant: Thyroid surgery (hemithyreoidectomy and total thyroidectomy), including re-operations - Central lymph node descision in thyroid cancer - Parathyreoid surgery (primary and reoperative surgery by hyperparatyreoidism).
