Essential specifications include a minimally invasive design, a flow rate of at least 2.5 L/min, an operating pressure range of 50-120 mmHg, and a motor speed of up to 50,000 RPM, with a backup battery for uninterrupted operation. The pump's catheter must be 9 French in diameter and 100 cm long, made from biocompatible materials for percutaneous insertion via the femoral artery. Additional requirements encompass high-resolution console displays, audible alarms for system alerts, compliance with FDA standards, sterilization methods, and adequate training and support for clinical staff. The manufacturer must have a proven history in medical devices, and any proposed alternatives must clearly demonstrate compliance with these specifications. Deviations will lead to disqualification. This document serves as a structured guideline for vendors responding to a federal RFP focused on ensuring quality and safety in medical circulatory support devices.
