| 25 | 2025-09-12 | Hope this email finds you well. This is XXX. I am writing to you on behalf of my company XXX Sincerely request for your clarification for the below questions regarding Procurement of Chemistry Analyzer, Centrifugal (for Clinical Use)（LOT 1&2&3）: 1. Regarding the parameter in Row 25, "Sample Volume: 2-45ul or lower," how should this be interpreted? Does it mean lower than 2ul or lower than 45ul? 2. Concerning CE certification, is self-declaration acceptable? Under the previous IVDD, biochemical analyzers fell under "Others" and only required a CE self-declaration. Under the latest IVDR regulations, biochemical analyzers are classified as Class B. According to the extended transition period of the IVDR, the transition period for Class B devices has been extended until December 31, 2029. Therefore, the CE self-declaration should still be valid. Please confirm whether a CE self-declaration is acceptable. Thank you very much and looking forward to your reply. Best Regards, |

| 26 | 2025-09-15 | Procurement of Chemistry Analyzer, Centrifugal (for Clinical Use) RFB Reference No.: ID-PMU SOPHI-483438-GO-RFB based on Prebid meeting held by MOH Last week, I have reviewed the current specifications and identified several points that may require clar to align with current technological standards and market availability. 1. ISE module (technical sheet No. 18, ISE Module) It is my strong professional opinion that mandating an ISE module for Puskesmas-level analyzers is not necessary and represents an inefficient allocation of resources. This capability is more appropriately reserved for hospital-level care. Below is a detailed justification for this position. A. Clinical Utility and Patient Triage Pathway The core function of a Puskesmas is primary care, outpatient management, screening, and basic health services. The critical need for immediate electrolyte (Na+, K+, Cl-) results is predominantly found in hospital settings: Hospital Emergencies: Severe dehydration, diabetic ketoacidosis, renal failure, cardiac arrhythmias, and critically ill patients in the ICU. Inpatient Monitoring: Patients on IV fluids, diuretics, or other medications that rapidly alter electrolyte balance. In a primary care setting, patients presenting with symptoms that might suggest a severe electrolyte imbalance (e.g., severe vomiting, diarrhea, confusion) require immediate referral to a hospitalfor comprehensive care, not point-of-care testing. A Puskesmas's role is to stabilize and refer these cases. Therefore, waiting for a central laboratory result or, more commonly, referring the patient for immediate hospital care is the standard and safe clinical pathway. Supporting Evidence: The World Health Organization's (WHO) guidelines on essential in vitro diagnostics for primary care settings focus on tests for infectious diseases (HIV, malaria, hepatitis), basic biochemistry (glucose, ALT, creatinine), and hematology (hemoglobin). Critical care tests like electrolytes are categorized as core diagnostics for hospitals with clinical laboratories and specialized tests for referral laboratories (WHO, 2019). B. Operational and Economic Considerations ISE modules significantly increase the complexity, cost, and maintenance burden of an analyzer: Higher Initial Cost: Analyzers with integrated ISE are substantially more expensive to procure. Recurring Reagent Cost: ISE reagents (calibrators, buffers, reference solutions) are proprietary and represent a continuous, significant operational expense. These reagents also have a limited shelf life once opened, leading to potential waste in low-volume settings. Maintenance and Expertise: ISE modules require regular calibration, maintenance, and quality control by trained personnel. Puskesmas often operate with limited technical staff who may not have the specialized training to maintain this system optimally, leading to inaccurate results and increased downtime. For the limited number of cases in primary care that truly require electrolyte testing, a more cost-effective and operationally feasible solution exists: **sending samples to a networked district or regional laboratory** equipped with a high-throughput analyzer that includes ISE. This leverages existing infrastructure and expertise without burdening every Puskesmas. C. Throughput and Workflow Mismatch The throughput of a typical Puskesmas is suited for basic photometric tests (glucose, cholesterol, liver enzymes, renal function). The specified ISE throughput of 240 tests/hour far exceeds the actual needs of a primary care facility. This high specification is designed for the high-volume, urgent workload of a hospital emergency department or core lab, not for the sporadic needs of a Puskesmas. Recommendation I strongly recommend that the technical specifications for clinical chemistry analyzers intended for Primary Healthcare Centers (Puskesmas) be revised to exclude the requirement for an integrated ISE module. The budget allocated for the ISE module—both its initial cost and long-term reagent expenses—could be far more effectively utilized to: Procure more analyzers to improve access to basic testing. Increase the volume of essential reagents for core tests (e.g., glucose, creatinine, lipid profile). |
This question is similar to the previous question #11. Please refer to the respective response. | Supply Requirements | Evaluation Process | Technical Evaluation |
| 27 | 2025-09-15 | 2. Open vs. Closed Systems for ISE Modules (technical sheet No. 17, System type) Issue: The specification mandates an open system for the entire analyzer, including the ISE module. However, ISE modules are typically closed systems due to their reliance on proprietary reagents and calibration. Recommendation: Separate the system requirements: open system for photometric modules and closed system for ISE modules. |

| 28 | 2025-09-15 | 3. Throughput Specifications (technical sheet No. 21 & 22, Throughput - Photometric and ISE) Issue: The current throughput specification is listed as Photometric 120 tests/hour and 240 tests/hour for ISE. However, most analyzers report combined throughput for photometric and ISE tests. Recommendation: Specify throughput in an integrated manner, for example: Photometric throughput: 120 tests/hour and Throughput with ISE: 240 tests/hour. |

| 29 | 2025-09-15 | 4. Adjustable Increment of 0.1 Microliters (technical sheet No. 25, Sample Volume) Issue: The current specification requires an adjustable increment of 0.1 microliters. However, this level of precision is not achievable by most clinical chemistry analyzers available on the market. The industry standard is typically more than 0.25 microliters. The increments below 0.25 microliters may compromise accuracy and consistency due to technical limitations in fluid handling systems . Recommendation: Revise the specification to adjustable increment of 0.25 microliters to reflect industry standards and ensure compatibility with available analyzers. |
Many thanks for this feedback. Upon further review, MoH has determined that the specification is not restrictive, and has therefore decided to retain the original specification. | Supply Requirements | Evaluation Process | Technical Evaluation |
| 30 | 2025-09-15 | 5. Time to First Results for Photometric Tests (technical sheet No. 36, time to first result) Issue: The specification states that the time to first photometric results should be less or equal than 1 minute. However, no clinical chemistry analyzer on the market can achieve this. Realistic time-to-first-result for photometric tests is typically 5–10 minutes, indicate that times below 5 minutes are impractical for accurate photometric testing, as they do not allow sufficient time for reaction stability. |

| 31 | 2025-09-15 | 6. Built-in Display Requirement (technical sheet No. 42, Built-in Display) Issue: The specification mandates a built-in display. However, many manufacturers use external displays connected to PCs, which offer greater flexibility and remote support capabilities. Recommendation: Revise the specification to "Display: Built-in or External" to accommodate a wider range of products. |

| 32 | 2025-09-15 | 7. Barcode Scanner Integration (technical sheet No. 68, Barcode Reader/Scanner) Issue: The specification requires both an integrated barcode scanner and an external scanner. If the analyzer already has a built-in barcode reader, an additional external scanner may be redundant. Adding an external scanner may increase costs and complicate operations without providing significant benefits. Recommendation: If the analyzer includes an integrated barcode scanner, remove the requirement for an external scanner. ---- This approach ensures that Puskesmas are equipped with appropriate, sustainable, and cost-effective technology that matches their clinical needs, while complex and critical care testing is rightfully performed in hospital laboratories. Thank you for your attention to this matter. |

| 33 | 2025-09-16 | Dear PC 6 - SOPHI, IHSS We respectfully request clarification regarding the following technical parameters specified in the tender document: 1. Clause 25 – Sample Volume Requirement: “2–45 μl or lower. Adjustable in increments of 0.1 μl.” • Concern: The requirement for adjustment increments as small as 0.1 μl appears technically unrealistic and not aligned with most analyzers available in the international market. Generally, increments of 0.5 μl or 1 μl are more practical and sufficient to ensure accurate testing. Setting such an overly strict requirement may unnecessarily limit participation and exclude devices that are otherwise compliant and clinically effective. 2. Clause 36 – Time to First Result Requirement: “Photometric: ≤ 1 min; ISE: ≤ 1 min.” • Concern: Achieving a photometric measurement time of ≤ 1 minute is not feasible for most analyzers in this category, as internationally accepted testing methodologies typically require several minutes. This specification may therefore restrict fair competition and exclude qualified products. Request for Clarification: We kindly request the Committee to clarify: • Whether the requirement of 0.1 μl adjustment increments is based on clinical necessity, or if more practical increments (e.g., 0.5–1 μl) could be considered; • Whether the Time to First Result specification can be revised to reflect realistic international standards, thereby ensuring broader participation and fairness. We respectfully suggest that reviewing and, if necessary, revising these parameters would help promote transparency, fairness, and equal opportunity for all bidders. |

| 34 | 2025-09-16 | 1. Point No. 14 – Analytical System Specification: Automatic, discrete, continuous, random access, STAT capability Comment: 1. The main function of continuous loading is to facilitate laboratories that process a relatively large number of samples or perform many types of parameters, where the available slots/positions for samples and reagents are not sufficient to meet the demand. For primary healthcare facilities (FKTP), the number of samples is not large, and only routine parameters are performed in accordance with the specification criteria; therefore, the continuous loading specification is not required for FKTP. 2. The continuous loading system is tied to certain brands that use a rack system. |

| 35 | 2025-09-16 | 2. Point No. 42 – Built-in Display and Point No. 19 – ISE Module Specifications: 1. Point No. 42: Built-in display. Required. Bidder to specify type. 2. Point No. 19: ISE module. Required. Comment: 1. The specifications for a built-in display and ISE module limit the competition to two brands, and based on the allocated budget for this tender, effectively point to only one brand. 2. A built-in display can be replaced by a computer and PC, which is more convenient and user-friendly in practice. |

| 36 | 2025-09-16 | 3. Point No. 50 – Type of Disinfectant Used for Infection Control Specification: Free of corrosive ingredients. Comment: Each manufacturer has different provisions regarding disinfectant materials, and the disinfectants used for internal machine cleaning are generally corrosive by nature. However, these materials are specially formulated and compatible with the instrument, so they will not cause damage or corrosion to the instrument itself. Therefore, this specification should ideally serve as information only, not as a mandatory requirement. |

| 39 | 2025-09-16 | Good days, After we attend on Prebid meeting held by MOH Last week, we have some questions regarding current specification from several points that may require Clarify to align with current technological standards and market Commons. 1. Related throughput on specification that need for ISE minimum test per hour. The question Is the ISE reading speed on the automated chemistry analyzer specified with or without simultaneous chemistry analysis? 2. Related on specification needed Built in for display. Is this requirement must have internal PC built on the machine, cause for automatic we not suggest display built in the machine. And also for storage capacity indicated for an internal PC or an external PC? 3. Related on The technical document states that barcode reading is required. Commonly for Automatic cemistry analyzer already include an integrated barcode reader?. So does the machine still need the additional barcode reader?. Recommendation I strongly recommend that the technical specifications for clinical chemistry analyzers intended for Primary Healthcare Centers (Puskesmas) be revised to exclude the requirement that nit necessary. This approach ensures that Puskesmas are equipped with appropriate, sustainable, and cost-effective technology that matches their clinical needs, while complex and critical care testing is rightfully performed in hospital laboratories. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Warm regard. |

| 51 | 2025-09-25 | We respectfully request clarification regarding the following technical parameters specified in the tender document: With reference to Clause 17 of the technical specifications: “System type: Open system, required with user defined profiles and calculations” From a technical standpoint, an open system allows the use of reagents from different manufacturers. However, this practice poses significant challenges to the accuracy and reliability of laboratory testing: 1.Calibration Accuracy – Reagents from different sources may have variations in composition, which can lead to discrepancies in calibration curves and inconsistent patient results. 2.Quality Control (QC) Compliance – The use of third-party reagents without standardized validation often causes deviations in QC results, thereby impacting traceability and compliance with ISO 15189 and related standards. 3.Result Reproducibility – Inconsistent assay parameters (reaction time, wavelength, buffer conditions) can directly affect reproducibility and may compromise clinical decision-making. Based on the above risks, we believe that requiring the analyzer to be a fully open system is not consistent with ensuring accuracy, standardization, and patient safety. Therefore, we respectfully propose that the tender specification allow the use of a closed system, in which the manufacturer provides validated reagents fully compatible with the analyzer, ensuring the accuracy of calibration and quality control as well as the reliability of test results. We firmly believe that this adjustment would better safeguard the accuracy of testing and the safety of clinical applications, while remaining aligned with international quality standards. |
This question is similar to the previous question #27. Please refer to the respective response. | Supply Requirements | Evaluation Process | Technical Evaluation |
| 52 | 2025-09-25 | English traslation of the question 1. Point no. 16 relates to Methodology: Potentiometric and ISE. Question: Potentiometric and ISE are the same method, why require both? Shouldn't the potentiometric term be removed and the ISE term simply used to avoid ambiguity? 2. Point no. 20 relates to ISE Module Parameters: Li Question: Why is the Li parameter required? This parameter is used in the diagnosis of bipolar disorder/mental disorders, which is only required by mental hospitals, not community health centers. Shouldn't it be removed? 3. Point no. 39 relates to Wavelength: 12 or more wavelengths within 340-700 nm Question: Why do we need up to 12 wavelengths? More wavelengths does not necessarily mean more accuracy or precision. The reliability of the results does not depend on the number of wavelengths, as each manufacturer has its own reference/method. 4. Why not add a point about "reusable cuvettes and autowashing system"? This is very beneficial from a procurement perspective for consumables and also minimizes the risk of a closed system, as the same type of cuvette cannot be used on different instruments. 5. Why not add the point "Sample and reagent positions can be interchangeable"? This is very useful if the number of samples/tests increases. It will help health centers by eliminating the need to purchase new machines with more reagent or sample slots. 6. Point 64 indicates the requirement to have an HbA1c parameter. Why not add a feature for HbA1c testing using whole blood? This is very useful and helpful for health centers, as it eliminates the need for manual preparation. 7. Why not add the point "Min. reaction volume 100 µL"? This is very useful for reagent use. The smaller the volume required for a reaction, the less reagent is used (more economical). |
Questoins 1 & 2 have been addressed above Question 3: Many thanks for this feedback. As this specification is a rated criteria, bidders can choose to comply or not. As such, MoH has decided to retain the current specification. Questions 4-7: Many thanks for this feedback. Upon further review, MoH has determined that the referenced requirements are not restrictive, and has therefore decided to retain the original specifications. |
