Description

Q&A - Amendment II - The purpose of amendment II is to respond to industry inquiries. Question: Is accreditation as a Certified Reference Material producer required? We have ISO 13485, but the term ""Certified Reference Material"" is often associated with a different standard. Response: No, NIST is the Certified Reference Material (CRM) producer. The vendor would be provideing the material and NIST is responsible for converting it to a CRM. The ISO 13485 requirement is sufficient for the vendor. Question: Is filling/capping under nitrogen required? Response: Yes. Question: Is a storage condition of -60C sufficient? Response: No. Storage conditions of -80 degrees C are required to maintain stability. Question: The requirement states each unit of single-donor serum shall be analyzed to ascertain the 25(OH)D2, 25(OH)D3, and total 25(OH)D concentrations. Is it acceptable for only the pooled matrix to be analyzed to ascertain the 25(OH)D2, 25(OH)D3, and total 25(OH)D concentrations? Response: While NIST is mainly concerned with the 25(OH)D2, 25(OH)D3, and total 25(OH)D concentrations of the pooled materials for each level, we expect that the vendor would need to screen a significant number of single-donor serum for 25(OH)D2 and 25(OH)D3 to design the pools to obtain the specific targets for each. Question: Would this be a one-time order, or will you be intending to reorder this? Response: This would be a one-time order. NIST does not anticipate procuring a smiliar material for at least another five (5) years. All other terms and conditions remain unchanged, as a result of the amendment. Q&A - Amendment I - The purpose of amendment I is to respond to an industry inquiry. Question: The description states crimp vials with 4 different color crimp seals. We do not use crimp seals much anymore and I�m not even sure we can get them in 4 different colors. Are screw cap vials acceptable? Response: No, screw cap vials are not acceptable. All other terms and conditions remain unchanged, as a result of this amendment.
