CAPABILITY SUMMARY: The Air Force Medical Service (AFMS) has a requirement for an effective and efficient electronic tracking and recall system that provides an intuitive and simplified way to manage bi-directional tracing and critical chain of custody for tissue and biological implants from the supplier to point of use. This bi-directional system shall include multiple technologies for locating and tracking items such as Wi-Fi based location finding, active and passive Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), and a number of other location technologies, including ultrasound and infrared. This system shall track all patients who have received recalled medical device/tissue implants within all 75 Medical Treatment Facilities (MTF). The MTF shall be able to identify and provide the manufacturerwithrequiredinformationforthemtonotifythepatientsaffected by their call in real time. The system shall address manufacturer recall of medical device/tissue implants and the ability to track and notify the manufacturer of the recalled item through bi-directional tracking of the implant. This system shall be FDA, Federal law, and Joint Commission compliance; as well as provide greater assurance of patient safety. General expectations are as follows: • Shipment data integrations with transplant-related organizations such as LifeNet, Allosource, and LifleLink • Automatic recall matching not be dependent on a third party recall notification service • Tissue supplier certifications kept up to date by vendor and available in program • One scan verification of implants for expiration and recall status at point of use • Tissue Instructions-For-Use (IFU) kept up to date by vendor and available in the program • Integrated RFID storage units available in Freezers, refrigerators and cabinets • Ability to generate and print GS1 barcode labels from program, utilizing the manufacture's unique identifier • Ability to scan and parse out multiple data fields in GS1, HIBBC and ISB-128 bar code labels CAPABILITY ATTRIBUTES: All data from a given facility must roll up into a single database, and be accessible via a single user interface. The solution shall provide following: • Unique Device Identification (UDI) Tracker that provides status and registration documents; as well as traces every step of the tissue graft inventory from receipt to disposition. • Wi-Fi-based technology. • A Recall Connect that supports FDA recalls within 24 hours; as well as receives notifications from any affected patients or inventory items. • Provide real time tracking and notify affected patients and reporting with complete inventory information of medical device/tissue implants. • Bi-directional tracking and recall of implanted medical device/tissues identifying patient demographics. • Identify if a recalled product is present or has been administered to patients. • Provide reports and logs within seconds; to include lot numbers, serial numbers, and model numbers of the recalled/expired devices. • Ensure tags are standardized and consistent from one facility to the next to ensure the ability to track assets as they are transported from one location to another. The solution shall meet the following capability areas: 1. Asset (Item) Tracking Capability 2. SPD Workflow Automation Capability 3. Inventory Management Capability 4. Automated Temperature Monitoring Capability 5. Business Process Workflow 6. National Data Repository RELATED SERVICES/DELIVERABLES: The Contractor shall provide services necessary to assess, acquire, configure, install, interface, and integrate the appropriate hardware and software to satisfy desired system capabilities and functions.
