1.27 Requirement 1.1.14 Triage Tag Basic – Voice Command – Which functionalities want to be covered with this requirement? AndWhich type of voice commands should be recognized? Is it similar to the voice command “Hey Google” available in our mobile phones?

The Triage Tag should be able to recognise voice commands. The iProcureSecurity PCP keeps the description of the requirements open, so that innovation and creativity from the suppliers’ side can be promoted. It is therefore up to the supplier(s) to decide how this specific requirement should...

1.26 As stated in R1.1.19 Treatment – Triage Status Change: change status/colour based on vital signs, the solution should be able to change the triage colour of the victim based on the measured vital signs. However, according to the relevant literature, there is only a limited number of triage algorithms that can support automatic change of status based only on automatically measured vital signs(R 3.1.1-R3.1.8). Other frequently used triage algorithms include the evaluation of mental status which according to the Call for Tenders is to be evaluated manually. Could you please clarify if the change of status/colour should be made automatically (in case the algorithm used allows that), or semi-automatically (after manual evaluation of other, non-automatically measured, parameters)? Moreover, given the intended use of the device (having in mind also MDR), could you please clarify if there should be always a manual verification of the change in colour/status (especially if it has been fully automatically changed) or if the solution should be able to autonomously change it?

Following the overall scopes of the Pre-Commercial Procurements, the iProcureSecurity PCP keeps the description of the requirements open, so that innovation and creativity from the suppliers’ side can be promoted. It is therefore up to the supplier(s) to decide how this specific requirement should fit...

1.25 Communication (p127): Is it an expectation that the device will transmit all data using 3/4G and not TETRA radios?

The Tenderers are requested to offer the different communication solutions that meet this requirement: The Systems Integration (UC9) must be able to work without coverage of public networks. The use of TETRA radio transmission is a possible solution but is not mandatory....

1.24 Page 120 TD1 Legal and Regulatory Requirements. Are you expecting the solution and associated medical devices to be submitted and fully licensed in the countries before the Phase III? Have you factored in the legal and registration costs involved for each country and can you share these costs? Spain: do you have details of regional health ministry requirements? Greece, Turkey require specific registration which will take a considerable length of time (and cost) has this been factored into the Phase III timeframe as registration will not be possible until the end of phase II has been completed to allow full technical requirements to be documented.

PCP is a pre-commercial procurement for the research and development of an integrated “non-commercial” solution; the certification of the components as Medical Devices (MD) is not required at this stage. But if the solution involves the integration and use of software / App / Devices, already...

1.23 P1–0 Requirement 1.1.29 to 33 Is it mandatory for the triage tag to display in real time vital signs as the tag will act as a vital sign monitor and so will require separate medical device accreditation as well as requiring a power source, be prohibitively expensive in terms of supply and maintenance as well as in field distribution difficulties?

Triage Tag Essential Information displays the colour/status of the casualty after having performed the first triage. It would be appreciated to have the following Triage Tag Extended Information: display the heart rate; respiratory rate; display the arterial oxygen saturation; display the blood pressure. The certification of the...

1.22 P115 1.7 Procurers IT System Interoperability. There are 28 different sytems listed – is it a realistic expectation to integrate with this many systems in 16 months within the budget? What research and risk assessment has been conducted to support this expectation? The list is incomplete and therefore it is impossible to make a judgement as to whether integration will be technically possible. Can you supply full details for each system including: 1. Name, version; 2. Supplier contact details; 3. API availability; 4. Interoperability standards used; 5. Level of SNOMED, HL7, etc coding; 6. XML compliant; 7. Experience of integration; 8. Discussions you have had re integration; 9. Type of hosting environment – AWS, Azure or local server

One of the challenges of the research project objective is also to obtain interoperability with the existing IT systems as well. More technical details about the interoperability requirements of the systems currently in use (if feasible) and of the common APIs exist for data sharing,...

1.21 Page 100 of the TD1, Requirement 1.1.21 and Page 107 of the TD1 Requirement 2.1.17 Able to connect and download information from EHR Is this a realistic expectation in terms of timeframe, number of 3rd party software suppliers who may not cooperate or have a system that has an open API? What research has the procurer done regarding availability of integration, willingness and API access with 3rd party EHR providers and can we have access to that information? In the NHS this was not achieved in 15 years with £23 billion programme.

1.20 Interoperability: Is it the expectation that at the end of the project that data will be exchanged (uploaded and downloaded) to 3rd party systems across the 5 organisations? If so, can the tenderer be specific as to the names of supplier, name and version of software, whether common APIs exist for data sharing and if the tenderer has data sharing agreements and acknowledgement from the 3rd parties that they are willing to cooperate in an agreed timeframe and NOT charge the supplier for its resource? Is it the expectation that the supplier will have the capacity to share information using FHIR subject to cooperation with 3rd parties at a later date? If not, will the tenderer compensate the supplier if a 3rd part fails to comply with the suppliers requirements.

The requirements regarding ICT standards that have to be observed in the development of the solution are described in paragraph 3.4 (G) of TD1. In the Annex 4 the “Procurers IT Systems Checklist” reports the current systems used by the procurers, which are wished to...
