66 -- CLINICAL ANALYSIS EQUIPMENT SOL 99-008 DUE 031199 POC Frank Boals 301 619-3063/Anna Marie Linton 301 619-2335 The Naval Medical Logistics Command is researching the available clinical analysis equipment available to perform clinical diagnostic tests aboard U. S. Navy ships. Over the next five years, the Navy anticipates replacing approximately 75 clinical analyzers in shipboard applications. The equipment must be capable of operation when located on an unstable base (i.e. the equipment can not require a level countertop) due to the pitch and roll encountered aboard ships. The equipment should operate from a power source of 115 Volts, 60 Hertz. Reagents must be stable. The Navy is looking for a shelf life not less than six months from delivery. The equipment must minimize operator time. The volume of tests performed on each analyzer is fairly low, typically 2000 tests per year. The required test menu is fairly large, as listed below. It is not assumed that one analyzer can perform all of the required tests, so products which provide a substantial capability will be considered. REQUIRED TESTS: CBC, CBC WITH DIFF, ESR, PT/PTT, ABO/RH, CROSSMATCH, SICKLE CELL, RPR, MONOSPOT, HCG, ALANINE AMINOTRANSFERASE, ALBUMIN, ALKALINE PHOSPHATASE, AMYLASE, ASPARTATE AMINOTRANSFERASE, CALCIUM, CARBON DIOXIDE, CHLORIDE, CHOLESTEROL, CK-MB, CREATINE KINASE, CREATINE, GGT, GLUCOSE, HIGH DENSITY, LIPOPROTEIN, LACTATE DEHYDROGENASE, MAGNESIUM, PHOSPHATE, POTASSIUM, SODIUM, TOTAL BILIRUBIN, TOTAL PROTEIN, TRIGLYCERIDE, UREA NITROGEN, URIC ACID. ADDITIONAL TESTS DESIRED: ACETAMINOPHEN, THYROID FUNCTIONS. If your company has a product or products which you wish considered, we request you forward comprehensive information to this command by close of business 11 Mar 99: Naval Medical Logistics Command, Attn: Mr. Frank Boals, Code 03, 521 Fraim Street, Fort Detrick, MD 21702-5015 or contact Frank Boals at (301) 619-3063, or fboals@nml10.med.navy.mil.
