2. Can you please confirm the POP start date for this requirement?

2A. This will be determined upon award.

3. Regarding LIS Connectivity: does the lab currently utilize Data Innovations (DI) LIS connectivity?

(a). If so, can the new flow cytometers integrate into the existing hardware? If not, can the VAMC make a Win11 computer available for DI/LIS connectivity?

36C24825Q0158 0001

3A. Flow Cytometry, it is our intention to connect the instrument to the LIS for the lymphocyte subsets to avoid clerical errors and all the manual entry. Lymphocyte subset panels are CH subscript and can be interfaced if the instrument software is approved by VHA to be connected via DI-IM. At this time the lab currently doesn’t use LIS connectivity to DI – and the current instrument PC isn’t connected to the VA network.

4. Many VAMCs have already adopted flow cytometer solutions. We have already completed VA6550 and MDS2 documents and these have been approved for use at VAMCs. Is there a resource that shows approved hardware like what is available for Software?

4A. If you have approved and completed VA 6550 and MDS2 and ERA documents for your proposed solution you are able to submit them with your response.

5. Can you please send us (or provide a link) the most recent 6550, MDS2, ERA and ACL documents that may need to be completed as part of the submission process?

5A. See answer to 4A. Otherwise, this will be addressed as needed for the for the solution as the current solution does not use LIS connectivity to DI – and the current instrument PC isn’t connected to the VA network.
