The Air Force Medical Command (AFMEDCOM) is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) to assess market capabilities for an autonomous infusion pump designed to enhance patient care in military environments. The RFI aims to identify existing products capable of providing real-time, adaptive fluid resuscitation, alleviating provider workload and minimizing medical errors in situations with limited resources. Companies, both large and small, are encouraged to respond, particularly those within the Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing industry (NAICS 339112). Respondents are asked to describe their capabilities and provide details on how their products align with the key system attributes needed for this device. The RFI includes forms for potential respondents to complete, with a total of 68 Key System Attributes outlined separately. Submission deadlines are established, with the response to be delivered via email and replies expected from companies by April 30, 2025. This RFI aims to improve operational efficiency and patient safety within the Air Force Medical Service by exploring innovative medical devices.

The document is a response form outlining the key system attributes (KSA) required for an autonomous infusion pump intended for medical use. It details a series of essential criteria that the vendor must meet, including compliance with ISO and FDA safety standards, automation capabilities that incorporate patient physiology, and user-friendly interfaces. The infusion pump should support multi-channel operations, maintain historical infusion records, and ensure the safety of alarm functionalities.
Other vital features include compatibility with various patient populations, device maintainability by biomedical technicians, and robust connectivity options for electronic health records. The pump must also be designed for durability in challenging conditions, with provisions for battery life, weight specifications, and operational noise considerations. The overall objective is to create a reliable, efficient, and safe infusion system that enhances medical care during transport and in various healthcare settings. This document serves as a guide for manufacturers responding to government requests for proposals, emphasizing the need for innovation in medical device technology while aligning with federal, state, and local standards.
