Technical requirements: The blood gas instrument must be able to measure (parametre): Electrolytes (sodium, potassium, free calcium and chloride) pH, pCO2, pO2, co-oximetry, with total haemoglobin and derivates.
Electrolytes (sodium, potassium, free calcium and chloride) pH, pCO2, pO2, co-oximetry, with total haemoglobin and derivates.
Analysis volume from syringes and capillary tubes, is there a 'coagulum stopper', measuring methods, sensitivity, precision, accuracy, operation within series/day-to-day, linearity/measuring area, measuring unit (option for choice), interferences, must be able to measure all parametres in vein blood, capillary blood, artery blood and central venous blood, clear statistics programme and plot, overview of reagents and other consumables/cassettes, traceability of calibrator.
Shelf life and requirements for storing the reagents, other consumables, cassettes, types of checks included, lot-variation, analysis time (specified for all analytes or only for blood gas).
State both the time to when the analysis result is available and the time to when the next sample can be inserted into the instrument. In the presentation of the cassette instrument, information is wanted as to whether it is possible to move cassettes from instrument to instrument. Replacement of damaged cassettes?
Overview of dates for maintenance, storage capacity in the instrument, log of errors, user-ID and lock-out, requirements for temperature and humidity, reagent consumption must be economic with few reagent bottles/cassettes, auto-QC must be possible, the lifetime for electrodes/membranes/cassettes must be stated, time used and stabilisation time for electrodes/cassettes when replacing/maintaining must be given, the instrument´s size and weight.
Flexible, robust and multi-entity two-way communication is required between the instrument and the hospital´s IT systems, based on standard communication protocols and TCP/IP in the computer network without external RS232/IP-translators. All protocols and configurations shall be fully documented. The communication shall support 'patient-query' based on a unique ID field (patient date of birth) and multi-entity result and QC export with data elements that are covered by ASTIM/HL7 protocols. As a minimum, this must include: Time (date, hour), unique instrument ID, unique patient ID (11 figure personal number, name), unique operator ID and measuring results for the analyte with the accompanying attributes. It must also be possible to communicate electronically the data elements that are stored, shown and printed out on a local printer. In order to enable precise troubleshooting, all components in the system must be able to show permanent and complete traceability in all communication. A flexible and robust accompanying optical reader unit that ensures clear identification must be included for reading ID elements on the instrument and software PC (patient date of birth, operator ID, etc.). By using barcode technologies, it shall be possible to read several normal barcode symbologies (Code39, Codabar, Code128 etc.). Support for 2D technology is wanted.
A specialised computer programme that can communicate with the instruments must be included for monitoring, controlling and configuring each instrument. The programme must fulfil OUS / RH´s infrastructure and programme requirements as regards operative system, network, databases and general hardware. As a starting point, OUS requires that this shall be installed on a virtual server provided by Sykehuspartner.
