- Description
- The National Institutes of Health intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with STLEYE, LP. The vendor, STLEYE, is uniquely qualified to replace the current system since it is the only known company that can provide an FDA cleared system of hardware and software that will dovetail with our existing equipment. Clearance by the FDA is required by the FDA 21st Century Cure Act and the ophthalmology Reading Centers that the National Eye Institute (NEI) utilizes for the grading of clinical research ocular study images in a multitude of clinical trials. STLEYE�s digital imaging system components will integrate with and operate using much of our existing imaging hardware devices�2 retinal cameras, 1 slit-lamp photographic biomicroscope, and 2 external eye cameras. This will ensure that the integrity of the current NEI clinical research will be maintained, and the costs minimized. �Please see the attached specification sheet and brand justification for further information.
