Objectives: The DTM is a unique blood center which collects blood and blood components from healthy donors to patients participating in many protocols. However, blood and blood products are also withdrawn from patients when prescribed by a physician, which may have a therapeutic benefit to treat their medical condition. These six (6) apheresis machines are used to perform extracorporeal therapy in which the blood of donors or patients is passed through the device to separate blood components. Numerous regulatory authorities, specifically the Food & Drug Administrative (FDA) and American Association of Blood Bank (AABB) set policy and enforce this policy for the care and maintenance of equipment that is used, in support of donors and patients for the above. The service agreement is to provide annual and periodic preventative maintenance for six (6) apheresis machines. The agreement covers maintenance and associated repair costs. These apheresis machines are used in that patients and/or donors are connected, ie, hooked up to these instruments to perform extracorporeal therapy in which the blood of donors or patients is passed through the device to separate blood components, including collecting haematopoietic stem cell for transplant, leukopheresis, erythrocytopheresis, plasmapheresis, red cell and plasma for removal in the body. All of which of life preserving and life extending therapy for NIH patients. Without the agreement, repair costs may exceed the lifecycle value of the machine.
