The Department of Transfusion Medicine (DTM), Center for Cellular Engineering has a bona fide need for preventive maintenance service contracts for the Sefia S-2000 devices that will be used in manufacturing research and development of cell-based therapies for patients enrolled on National Institutes of Health sponsored clinical trials at the Clinical Center. The Food and Drug Administration mandates that critical equipment used in the manufacturing, processing, and testing of drug products must be maintained in a controlled manner (21 CFR 211.63, 21 CFR 211.67).

All repairs and preventative maintenance services must be performed by a Global Life Science authorized service technician. Global Life Science does not have any authorized third-party service providers. If a third-party performs services on the instruments, it may violate any warranties and the original equipment manufacturer, Global Life Sciences cannot guarantee the integrity of the instruments.
