\n\n\n\nBackground: The FDA laboratory at the Winchester Engineering Analytical Center (WEAC) uses an environmental chamber to condition regulatory samples (such as tampons, gowns, patches, etc.) at specific temperature and humidity levels before physical testing. The chamber also supports CDRH-directed research and test method development for other medical devices received by the laboratory for analysis.
\n
Minimum Performance Requirements/Salient Characteristics:
\n\n\n\nThis is a Brand Name or Equal requirement. Products other than the aforementioned are acceptable but shall meet all the salient characteristics contained in the Minimum Technical Requirements below:
\n\n\n\nAll of the following system requirements are minimum requirements. Equivalent requirements that differ from these minimum requirements shall be justified by the proposing vendor and evaluated by the WEAC prior to purchase:
\n\nGeneral
\n
\nThe contractor shall provide an environmental chamber that uniformly conditions samples across a variety of temperature and humidity settings. The chamber must meet the following specifications:
\n
On-site Installation, Training and Commissioning
\n\nTrade and Service Specification
\n\nAdditional Section 508 Requirements:
\n\naccessible/index.html, or from the Section 508 Coordinator listed at https://www.hhs.gov/web/section-508/additional- resources/section-508-

\n\nOffice of Specialty Laboratories and Enforcement Support
\n\n109 Holton Street
\n\nWinchester, MA 01890
\n\n\n\n
Period of Performance:
\n\nPerformance begins on the date of formal government acceptance and continues through the end of the manufacturer's warranty period.
