Option to purchase 1 thulium laser (corresponds to the main product) and a possible option for an alternative laser model with thulium technology applies for 4 years from the last electronic signature date, and whether the option is triggered will depend on the budget.
Helse Stavanger HF sees an estimated number of patients, and therefore uses number of fibres, of 500-600 per year. The maximum number is 1,000 per year. The number applies per laser, so that if the option for a further laser is triggered, the maximum number will be 2,000 per year.

The stated consumption/number is an estimate for information to the tenderer, and is not binding for future contract volume.
