About this file
The document "Salient Characteristics.pdf" details technical requirements for a complex laboratory diagnostic system for the Department of the Army Medical Command. The system must include four integrated components: a Mass Spec analyzer, an Automated ID and AST System, a Nucleic Acid Extraction System, and an Automated Blood and Body Fluid Specimen Incubation and Growth Detection System. Key requirements include FDA-approved reagents, walkaway functionality, ability to process at least 100 specimens in an 8-hour shift, bi-directional interfacing with the MHS-Genesis laboratory information system, and capabilities for identifying clinically relevant organisms, performing antimicrobial susceptibility testing, extracting nucleic acids, and monitoring blood and body fluid specimen growth.
The systems must meet specific technical specifications, such as identifying Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms with confidence evaluation, following Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute guidelines, applying standard software rules for resistance and reporting, processing multiple specimens simultaneously, maintaining a 37-degree Celsius incubation temperature, and providing continuous monitoring and automatic loading and volume measurement of culture bottles. Additionally, the Nucleic Acid Extraction System must be approved for CDC Emergency Use Authorizations, and all systems must include quality control requirements consistent with accrediting body standards.

Salient Characteristics
Mass Spec
• Must offer an FDA approved library for bacteria, and yeast.
• Walkaway functionality that requires no further technician time once the analyzer has started until it is complete.
• The instrument must be able to process minimum of 100 individual specimens in an 8 hr shift.
• The assay must include QC requirements in accordance with our accrediting bodies.
• Consumables should be scalable and able to be used in small or large sample run sizes.
• Instrument must be able to interface bi-directionally with MHS-Genesis, the laboratory information system.
• The system must provide a species ID and evaluation of the strength of the identification.
Automated ID and AST System
• System must be able to identify clinically relevant Gram positive, Gram negative organisms and Yeast
• Identification must include an evaluation of the confidence of the identification.
• Antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) of Gram positive and Gram negative organisms must follow guidelines set forth in the Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute.
• System software must apply standard rules (e.g. intrinsic resistance, flagging of potential
Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamase producers).
• System software must allow for customized reporting rules based on institution specific reporting requirements.
• Random access loading of specimens for identification and AST.
• Instrument must be able to interface bi-directionally with MHS-Genesis, the laboratory information system.
Nucleic Acid Extraction System
• System must have FDA IVD approved reagents and processes for the extraction of nucleic acids from various biological sources.
• System must be capable of process more than twelve specimens at a time.
• Walkaway functionality that requires no further technician time once the machine has started until it is complete.
• System must be able to extract and elute into from various volumes.
• System must be considered/approved for Center for Disease Control Emergency Use
Authorizations.
Automated Blood and Body fluid specimen incubation and growth detection System
• System must have FDA IVD approved reagents specific for the recovery of organisms from Blood and Body fluid specimen.
• System must be able to hold an incubation temperature of approximately 37 degrees Celsius.
• System must have around the clock monitoring of growth indicated and signal/alarm positive results.
• System must be able to perform self-calibration.
• System must be able to load Blood and Body fluid culture bottles automatically.
• System must be able to measure volume of Blood and Body fluid patient specimen in culture bottles automatically.
