This procurement opportunity, originating from France and available through TED, pertains to the supply of sterile "Arbre de perfusion stérile avec tulipe." This translates to a sterile perfusion tree with a tulip connector, a critical medical device used in healthcare settings for administering intravenous fluids, medications, or blood products. The sterile nature of the device is paramount to prevent infection and ensure patient safety. The "tulipe" or tulip connector typically refers to a specific type of fitting that ensures a secure and leak-proof connection to other medical tubing or devices. Procurement for such medical supplies generally involves stringent quality control measures, adherence to medical device regulations (e.g., CE marking in Europe), and specific packaging requirements to maintain sterility until the point of use. Suppliers are expected to provide evidence of product certification, quality management systems (such as ISO 13485), and potentially samples for evaluation. The contracting authority is likely a healthcare provider or a central purchasing body for medical supplies.
