"It is assumed that the product will meet FDA standards for a Class 1 device.

"Calendar Days 6.Would you consider a solution with a less complicated sensor that can accomplish the initial set of capabilities as well as future capabilities described in section B.2? "This query does not provide sufficient information to allow us to determine if the vendor's bid would meet our specifications. Vendors are encouraged to supply detailed specifications of the product that they propose to supply in response to the offering. The acceptability of each bid will be judged based on how well the vendor describes their product including its functionality and future capabilities. 7.We have a very unique product that monitors patient movements while in bed and in chairs.

"Based on the limited information supplied in this query, it is not possible for us to determine the acceptability of the vendor's product. The vendor is encouraged to supply detailed specifications of their product so that we can assess how well it would meet our specifications including product functionality and future capabilities. 8.Would it be possible to interface with the folks who have put together the clinical/technical specifications and introduce our product for their review and consideration?
