I am ask to make a plan for the movement of the BacT/Alert System to a new location within the building. It's for a project for the senior technologist at canadian blood services. I'm ask to answer this following things: required documentation, required activities, communication plan, timeline and list of required support needed to enable this move. I will really appreacite any information you can give me and please get back to me as son as you can. Thanks in advance.
The basic approach I would take is to expect to obtain and rely on advice of the instrument company, bioMerieux in this case. They may have engineers who would be willing to assist and oversee the move. There will be two important sets of specifications to consider, those of a physical nature such as dimensions and weight that are applicable to doorways, elevators, etc, and those of a technical nature related to maintaining the integrity of samples during the move. Between engineering and technical services of the instrument manufacturer you should expect all of this information to be forthcoming upon request. Standard instrumment function testing should be performed at the new installation site, but formal revalidation is not necessary. We hope that we were able to answer your question.
