The HUS Group (also "the contracting entity" or “HUS”) requests tenders for a new digital automatic microscope (also "product" or "device") for the special hematology laboratory at HUS Diagnostic Center.

The device is intended for scanning MGG-stained bone marrow aspiration slides and blood smears and AI (artificial intelligence)-based cell classification. The special hematology laboratory receives bone marrow aspiration samples from approximately 10–35 patients daily, which the digital automatic microscope must be able to scan and prioritize in order of urgency. The device will also be used for assessing cell counts/ratios and cell morphology. Therefore, the digital images produced by the device must be high-quality, high-resolution images. The software of the device must be able to support remote work and consultation with other users regarding cell images.

The procurement includes among other things the device, its delivery, a workstation required to operate the device, analysis software, user licenses, user training, device-specific supplies, user replaceable parts, warranty and warranty period maintenance services for the device.

The procurement also includes an option for post-warranty maintenance services for the device. The HUS Group will decide separately on the use of the option.
