New clarification added: Dear Bidder,Please find below the clarification on tour question.Item 1.4 – Battery TypeAccepted.Revised Requirement:"Internal rechargeable battery."Requirement 1.5 remains unchanged.Item 1.7.11 – Tidal Volume MonitoringAccepted.Revised Requirement:"Tidal volume monitoring up to 3000 mL or higher."Item 1.6.14 – Adjustable Minute Volume ControlAccepted.Revised Requirement:"Adjustable minute volume control approximately 25–300%, or equivalent minute ventilation adjustment achieved through tidal volume and respiratory rate settings."Item 1.6.21 – Oxygen Therapy Flow RangeNot AcceptedThe requirement is intended to ensure that the offered ventilator provides a broad range of oxygen therapy settings suitable for adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients, as well as for different stages of respiratory support and weaning.The lower flow range is important to allow flexible oxygen therapy delivery in patients requiring lower flow support, while the upper flow range is necessary to support high-flow oxygen therapy applications. The specified range does not limit participation to a specific manufacturer and is achievable by multiple modern ICU ventilators equipped with integrated oxygen therapy functionality.                                                Item 1.6.23 – Continuous Flow O₂ TherapyPartially Accepted.Revised Requirement:"Continuous Flow O₂ Therapy: Adult/Pediatric, minimum flow range 2–60 L/min or higher."                                                                                       Item 1.7.10 – Airway Pressure MonitoringNot Accepted.The specified monitoring range is intended to ensure comprehensive pressure monitoring capability under all ventilation conditions, including severe respiratory pathology, high-resistance airway conditions, recruitment maneuvers, system integrity testing, and alarm verification procedures.Although routine protective ventilation is typically performed at significantly lower airway pressures, the monitoring range of the ventilator should extend beyond normal operating pressures to ensure reliable detection, display, and alarm generation in abnormal or emergency situations. A wider monitoring range also supports troubleshooting of patient circuit occlusions, excessive airway resistance, and other critical events.The requirement relates to the monitoring capability of the device and does not imply that such pressures are intended for clinical delivery to the patient. Multiple modern ICU ventilators provide airway pressure monitoring ranges within or exceeding the specified limits.Therefore, the requirement is considered clinically justified and does not restrict competition.Requirement remains unchanged.Thank you.Procurement team.

New clarification added: Dear UNOPS,We kindly request you to clarify and amend several points in the Technical Specifications / Summary of Requirements for the Procurement of Medical Equipment (ICU Ventilator and Defibrillators), specifically:11. Clarification on Defibrillator Control Interface Layout•    Lot 4 – Defibrillator•    Requirement 1.3.5•    Question: Will a proposal be accepted if the charge, discharge, and energy level selection controls are located exclusively on the device front panel, and not repeated on the reusable paddles?•    Justification: Concentrating all energy controls on the device front panel provides a unified, highly visible, and secure command interface. This layout prevents accidental energy selection or premature discharge triggers during stress-heavy resuscitation procedures.12. Amendment to AED Mode Energy Settings•    Lot 4 – Defibrillator•    Requirement 1.4.1 and 1.4.2•    Proposed Amendment: To allow a fixed, pre-set energy level of 200 J for Automated External Defibrillation (AED) mode, omitting the requirement for manual energy adjustment or escalating series (1, 2, 3) in this specific automated mode.•    Justification: According to modern ERC and AHA guidelines, a fixed biphasic energy protocol (e.g., 200 J) for AED mode is safe, highly effective, and prevents operator confusion during public or basic life support resuscitation by minimizing hands-off time.13. Clarification on ECG Cable Configuration•    Lot 4 – Defibrillator•    Requirement 1.5.1.1 and 1.5.1.2•    Question: Will a proposal offering a 5-lead ECG patient cable (capable of monitoring leads I, II, III, aVR, aVL, aVF, and V) be accepted instead of a 3-lead cable?•    Justification: A 5-lead ECG cable provides a wider diagnostic window and superior monitoring versatility compared to a 3-lead cable, directly improving patient diagnostic capabilities in critical care environments.14. Clarification on Advanced ECG Software Features•    Lot 4 – Defibrillator•    Requirement 1.5.1.4 and 1.5.1.5•    Question: Will a defibrillator proposal be considered compliant if it does not feature integrated "ST segment analysis" and "Arrhythmia analysis"?•    Justification: The primary clinical role of a defibrillator is emergency cardioversion and basic rhythm monitoring. Advanced diagnostics like ST-segment shifts and complex arrhythmia mapping are typically the domain of dedicated multi-parameter patient monitors.15. Clarification on Heart Rate Monitoring Range•    Lot 4 – Defibrillator•    Requirement 1.5.2.1 and 1.5.2.2•    Question: Will the procurement committee accept a device with a heart rate (HR) monitoring range of 20 to 300 bpm?•    Justification: A range of 20–300 bpm perfectly covers all extremes of clinically survivable bradycardia and tachyarrhythmia in both adult and pediatric populations, fully satisfying standard critical care requirements.16. Clarification and Equivalency Request for Respiration Monitoring Function•    Lot 4 – Defibrillator•    Requirement 1.5.3, 1.5.3.1, and 1.5.3.2•    Question: Can a Capnography (EtCO2) module be accepted as a superior, valid equivalent to the standard thoracic impedance respiration rate (RR) measurement?•    Justification: Many prominent defibrillator manufacturers do not include thoracic impedance respiration monitoring, but offer a Sidestream/Mainstream Capnography module instead. Capnography is the definitive gold standard in emergency medicine, as it indirectly tracks respiration rate with higher accuracy and provides critical data on alveolar ventilation and tube placement (apnea detection), which impedance methods cannot deliver.We look forward to your professional feedback and hope for your approval of these adjustments to ensure broad and transparent procurement of high-quality medical systems./Dear Bidder,Please find below the clarification on your questions.Response 11Not accepted.The requirement remains unchanged.The availability of charge, discharge, and energy selection controls on both the device front panel and reusable electrodes facilitates efficient operation during emergency situations, allows clinicians to perform defibrillation while maintaining direct patient contact, and supports established clinical workflows for manual defibrillation.Response 12Accepted.In order to promote broader competition while maintaining clinical safety and effectiveness, fixed manufacturer-defined biphasic AED energy protocols may be accepted.Revised Requirement 1.4.1:"AED mode energy level: fixed pre-set biphasic energy protocol or adjustable energy level within the range of 100–360 J."Revised Requirement 1.4.2:"Discharge series: adjustable or manufacturer-defined AED discharge protocol."Response 13Accepted.A 5-lead ECG cable provides equal or broader ECG monitoring capability compared with a 3-lead configuration.Revised Requirement 1.5.1.1:"Number of leads: minimum 3 leads; 5-lead ECG cable acceptable."Revised Requirement 1.5.1.2:"Recording/monitoring of leads I, II, III, or broader ECG lead configuration."Response 14Not accepted.ST segment analysis and arrhythmia analysis are required monitoring functions for the requested hospital-grade defibrillator and support clinical assessment during emergency and post-resuscitation monitoring.Requirements remain unchangedResponse 15Accepted.A heart rate monitoring range of 20–300 bpm is considered clinically acceptable for adult and pediatric emergency monitoring applications.Revised Requirement 1.5.2.1:"Heart rate measurement range (adults): 20–300 bpm or wider."Revised Requirement 1.5.2.2:"Heart rate measurement range (pediatric patients): 20–300 bpm or wider."Response 16Accepted.Capnography (EtCO₂) may be accepted as an equivalent or superior solution to thoracic impedance respiration monitoring, provided that the offered device measures respiratory rate and includes apnea detection/alarm functionality.Revised Requirement 1.5.3:"Respiration monitoring by thoracic impedance and/or capnography (EtCO₂)."Revised Requirement 1.5.3.1:"Respiration rate measurement range suitable for emergency monitoring."Revised Requirement 1.5.3.2:"Apnea alarm function available, with adjustable or manufacturer-defined apnea alarm settings."Thank you.Procurement team.

Shorter charging times minimize interruptions to resuscitation workflow and reduce time to shock delivery. The current requirement is achievable by multiple modern hospital-grade defibrillators and is therefore maintained.Question 10 – Lot 4, Requirement 1.3.4 – Patient Impedance RangeProposed amendment: 25 to 200 ohms.Response: Not accepted.The requirement remains unchanged.The wider impedance range supports effective energy delivery across a broader range of patient conditions, electrode placements, body compositions, and clinical scenarios. Limiting the upper range may unnecessarily restrict clinical applicability.Thank you.Procurement team. 

New clarification added: Congratulations.Request for LOT 1 Artificial kidney machine for emergency hemodialysis:1. Item 1.9: Optical blood outflow detector. Measurement principle: infrared beam. Replace the detection method with - Absorption spectroscopy method.2. Item 1.4.5: speed of ultrafiltration, ml/min. - from 0 to 16.5 ml/min – replace with “useful flow rate of ultrafiltration (UF). This term defines the volume of fluid (not the speed) filtered from the patient’s blood that is not returned — it is used to control the patient’s body weight. It is indicated in ml/h: i.e. from 0 to 16.5 x 60 min. = 990 ml/h. Enter 990 ml/h3. Item 1.4.6: maximum rate of replacement with continuous veno-venous hemofiltration, l/h – not less than 9.6. This indicator consists of two: the maximum replacement rate during continuous veno-venous hemofiltration with a replacement solution (up to 4.8 l/h) + the maximum replacement rate during continuous veno-venous hemofiltration with dialysate (up to 4.8 l/h). In total, this is 9.6 l/h./Dear Bidder,Thank you for your interest in the tender. Please find below the clarification on your questions.Clarification Request – Item 1.9As the purpose of the requirement is to ensure reliable and continuous optical blood leak detection rather than to prescribe a specific technological implementation, the proposed clarification is accepted.Revised requirement:Item 1.9 – Optical blood outflow detector. Measurement principle: infrared optical technology and/or absorption spectroscopy method, or equivalent optical blood leak detection technology.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Response to Clarification Request – Item 1.4.5Thank you for your clarification request. Ultrafiltration parameter may be expressed by different manufacturers either as ultrafiltration rate in ml/min or as ultrafiltration flow/capacity in ml/h. Both expressions describe the same functional capability of the system, namely the controlled removal of fluid from the patient's blood during renal replacement therapy.The requested value of 16.5 ml/min is mathematically equivalent to 990 ml/h. As the intention of the requirement is to define the minimum ultrafiltration performance rather than prescribe a specific unit of measurement, the proposed clarification is accepted.Revised requirement:Item 1.4.5 – Ultrafiltration rate/capacity: adjustable from 0 up to at least 16.5 ml/min (equivalent to 990 ml/h).                                                                                                       Response to Clarification Request – Item 1.4.6The purpose of the requirement is to ensure that the equipment provides sufficient therapy capacity for continuous veno-venous hemofiltration and related CRRT modalities. Therefore, the total achievable therapy fluid flow is considered the relevant performance parameter rather than the individual contribution of each flow component.Accordingly, the proposed clarification is accepted.Revised requirement:Item 1.4.6 – Maximum therapy fluid flow during continuous renal replacement therapy (replacement fluid and/or dialysate flow): not less than 9.6 l/h.  Thank you.Procurement Team.

New clarification added: Team UNOPS,part 2We respectfully submit that the proposed revisions would not reduce the clinical performance, safety, or effectiveness of the equipment being procured.
