Plan a digital-anatomy teaching room using the selected model’s dimensions, utilities, software package, delivery route, faculty objectives and confirmed support terms.
Medical equipment RFQ checklist (TXT)
A digital-anatomy laboratory needs an equipment brief, an approved room and an agreed teaching plan. Confirm the selected hardware, delivery route, utilities, content and faculty preparation before ordering so room work and equipment delivery can be coordinated.
Use this guide to plan the room, student groups, equipment placement and teaching workflow of a digital anatomy laboratory. It complements the product-specific Anatomage selection guide. Related reading: What the Anatomage Table changes about teaching anatomy, and what it does not.
Faculty should identify the learning activities the current anatomy programme cannot accommodate well and review the applicable curriculum requirements. Digital visualisation can support repeated exploration and case discussion, but it does not automatically replace specimen, dissection or clinical skills requirements.
Write a small set of demonstrable objectives: for example, repeat a sectional-anatomy exercise, discuss a selected imaging case or facilitate a supervised group session. Test these in the offered platform and plan learner access through the timetable instead of promising unlimited use.
Anatomage’s digital cadaver content is reconstructed from sequential frozen cadaver-slice images. It is distinct from the patient CT/MRI cases and related viewing tools. Check the current model and software package for the anatomy, imaging, physiology and assessment content needed by the programme.
Choose the format through a room and teaching demonstration. A vertical display may support shared viewing, but visibility in a large lecture room depends on distance, sightlines and the display arrangement. Ask about current configuration and upgrade options; do not assume a particular format is always right or field conversion is available.
| Planning item | Evidence to collect |
|---|---|
| Hardware fit | Current model and crate drawings, mass, delivery method and full operating envelope. |
| Teaching capacity | A realistic group-size and visibility trial using the actual room or proposed layout. |
| Content and access | A versioned list of included datasets, software entitlements and account requirements. |
| Operation | Electrical, environmental, cleaning, maintenance and update instructions. |
| Support costs | Written warranty, training, support, optional content and renewal terms. |
Determine room size from the exact model, operating envelope, learner access and applicable accessibility and building requirements. Use the manufacturer’s current dimensions and weight, with facilities approval of clearances, structure and the delivery route; a generic floor-area allowance cannot establish suitability.
Specify faculty familiarisation in the offer: participants, learning objectives, delivery method, duration, documentation and any follow-up. Ask which manufacturer resources and support entitlements are included. A fixed two- or three-day programme should not be assumed for every purchase.
Develop facilitator coverage so teaching does not depend on one person. Allocate preparation time and a realistic introduction to the timetable, then review usage, cancelled sessions and faculty feedback. Staffing continuity and adoption need active institutional management.
Confirm the institution’s approved funding route and current procurement rules rather than assuming eligibility for a UGC or development-partner allocation. For public procurement, use the applicable BPPA documents and tender conditions. There is no generic equipment “BPPA compliance certificate” that replaces this process.
Write verifiable teaching and equipment requirements and follow the applicable rules for competition and equivalence. Price delivery, setup, familiarisation, software and support transparently, identifying each responsibility and any recurrent cost.
