374th FSS/Mortuary Engrossing Station Technical Work Statement

Title: Mortuary Pathology/Grossing Station

Requirement: The Regional Armed Forces Medical Examiner recommended the grossing station for conducting gross examination and sectioning of specimens.

The mortuary HVAC system is currently ready for installation of this equipment with no modifications needed. Base CES would be able to install in minimal time.

Purpose: In support of Title 10, US Code, JP4-06 Mortuary Affairs, PWS DOD Mortuaries, AFI 34-50. Processing of dead human remains in compliance with public law and various health and safety standards within the mortuary industry.

Brief Description of item function / salient characteristics:

The grossing station has back draft system pulling away dangerous chemical and pathogen molecules away from the pathologist, embalmer and lab techs making the task of grossing and the processing of viscera safer. The combination of our unique ventilation configuration and your in-house ventilation system assures you that all dissection procedures are completed in the safety-zone — free of harmful vapors and irritating lab odors. Grossing stations have been carefully designed and engineered to efficiently integrate all pathology functions while maximizing laboratory safety, ergonomics and space requirements.

The required item(s) must meet or exceed the following standards:

A. Hardware – stainless steel construction; fixed upper and lower shelf;

adjustable/elevating surface height; cold/hot water faucet with proximity-sensing controls; 1/2hp disposal with proximity-sensing controls; built-in table rinse with proximity-sensing controls.

B. Software- none

C. Installation- must be installed by base civil engineer personnel; CE personnel will need to connect hot and cold water supply lines and drain line. Reinforce industrial grade flexible hose is needed for connection to water supply lines. Ventilation exhaust system ducts will need to be install.

D. Maintenance/Warranty- Industry standard

E. Compatibility- must be compatible with existing air, electrical and plumbing hook-ups; our facility has existing air flow duct systems which is pre-configured, the pathology station must be able to be connected with the Mortuary’s existing air flow system.

F. Other (shipping, etc.) - Ship from Tracy CA for timely delivery from the United States to Japan.
