AMENDMENT 0001- Q&A'S

Questions & Answers

Question 1:

Confirm what tests are specifically needed for CLIN 0001 AAMI Contaminant Panel. "AAMI Contaminant Panel" is not a characteristic defined in AAMI.

Answer: Below is a copy of the current AAMI standards (Sometimes referred to as trace elements or contaminant panel) report that the government runs and all the different chemicals are listed).

Analyte Lab Result

Fluoride < 0.10 mg/L Nitrate as N < 0.11 mg/L

Sulfate < 0.50 mg/L

Aluminum < 0.005 mg/L

Antimony < 0.005 mg/L

Arsenic < 0.005 mg/L

Barium < 0.01 mg/L

Beryllium < 0.0004 mg/L

Cadmium < 0.001 mg/L

Calcium < 0.50 mg/L

Chromium < 0.01 mg/L

Copper < 0.05 mg/L

Lead < 0.0025 mg/L

Magnesium < 0.50 mg/L

Potassium < 0.50 mg/L

Selenium < 0.05 mg/L

Silver < 0.005 mg/L

Sodium 4.45 mg/L

Thallium < 0.002 mg/L

Zinc < 0.05 mg/L

Mercury < 0.0002 mg/L

Question 2:

Are these the water chemistry parameters requested for "AAMI Contaminant Panel" - Aluminum, Antimony, Arsenic, Barium, Beryllium, Cadmium, Calcium, Chromium, Copper, Dissolved Solids, Fluoride, Iron, Lead, Magnesium, Mercury, Nitrate (as N), Potassium, Resistivity, Selenium, Silver, Sodium, Sulfate, Thallium, and Zinc?

W81K0022Q0068

Answer: Same response #1. Attached is a copy of the current AAMI standards (Sometimes referred to as trace elements or contaminant panel) report that the government runs and all the different chemicals are listed)

Question 3:

Would the government consider revising the RFQ such that sample collection is performed by the healthcare or facilities staff? We have found with other contracts across the U.S. this is the most cost effective solution for the AAMI testing requirements as the quantities of tests each month are fairly low.

Answer: No, these samples need to be run by a facility that are dialysis certified as the water is not only used for medical equipment but for patient care (These samples are only run yearly). These samples should be run by the same company who will process the monthly bacterial endotoxin, HPC, and LAL counts.
