The government is seeking information on the availability of Situate Detection System medical equipment that can meet the requirements (below):

Salient Characteristics:

Console:

• Provides on-screen prompts guiding workflow.


• Generates unique confirmation codes for each scan, which can be entered into the EMR.


• Boot-up time less the 2 minutes.


• Frequent self-calibration


• Includes connection ports for scanning tools.

Body Scanner:

• Contains six evenly distributed radiolucent antennae placed under the patient.


• Detects tagged sponges within the surgical field.


• Provides hands-free scanning for in-vivo detection in 15 seconds or less.
