| Question No. | Document/Part | PWS Section (§) | Question | Answer |
| 1 | PWS | 4.1 Replacement of AED | Section 4.1 states on-site services are not required, while section 4.2 mentions in-person monitoring. In the event that the awarded devices can perform a monthly diagnostic self-report via a cellualar network, are on-site services still required? | Yes. While cellular self-reporting capabilities may reduce the need for certain types of remote monitoring, on-site services are still required.

| 2 | PWS | 4.3.1 AED Site Coordinator List | If the contractor has a proprietary software which can manage device inventory, readiness, sites, and training; would the use of Archibus be required? Would the FDA enteratain the use of a web-based vendor software which would reduce the need for contractors to have routine site access and government equipment? | Yes, the use of Archibus is required. No, a vendor based web software will be accepted. |
| 3 | Pricing Template | Should each AED unit be priced without a Pad-Pak (with Primary and Secondary Pad-Paks priced separately, totaling two per AED), or should each AED include an installed Pad-Pak plus Primary and Secondary Pad-Paks (total of three per AED)? | FDA requires each device with a Primary PAD PAK/battery and a Secondary (backup) PAD PAK/battery per deployed AED - for a total of 2 PAD PAKS/battery per deployed device. |
