Thermal boxes for the transportation of organs.
Lot Information
Lot 1
NHSBT holds contracts for provision of consumables used in the retrieval of human organs for transplantation. We are seeking interest from potential suppliers of organ transport boxes, with a view to commencing a formal procurement process.
These boxes are used with wet ice to cool and maintain the temperature of the organ, and to protect the organ in transit. The organ is packaged in fluid and triple-bagged before being surrounded by the ice in the box. The boxes are then used to safely transport the organ from the donor hospital to the transplant centre.
Prior to commencing a formal procurement process, NHSBT wishes to engage with suppliers who are experienced in manufacturing/supplying containers, although a history of providing containers for medical use is not essential.
Should any containers meet the core requirements of the specification as described below, specialist validation will be undertaken by NHSBT to ensure the containers are safe to use.
Small Container:
* UKCA Mark for Medical Devices (formerly CE Mark Class IIa)
* Internal capacity 12-18 litres
* Weight when packed with ice <12 kg
* Single entry point via the lid (ideally no bung, hatch or outpipe)
* Maintain internal temperature of 0-4degc for up to 48 hours
* Reusable so as to minimize waste
Large Container:

* Internal capacity TBC litres
