STATEMENT OF WORK
Neptune Smart Docking Station
A. PURPOSE:
Provide, deliver, install, and commission Stryker Neptune Smart Docking Station that safely empties,
contains, and cleans mobile OR surgical suction/waste units without manual handling of biohazardous
fluids. The overall purpose of the Stryker Neptune Smart Docking Station is to safely empty, clean, and
sanitize the mobile surgical suction units (called rovers) used during operations. The system eliminates
the need for staff to manually change heavy waste canisters or dump biohazardous fluids
B. DELIVERY INSTRUCTIONS: All items/products that are purchased will be delivered to the address listed
below no later than 60 days after contract award. Points of contact will be made available after contract
award.
DELIVERY ADDRESS:
G.V. (Sonny) Montgomery VA Medical Center Warehouse
ATTN: Surgical Service/OR Department)
1500 E. Woodrow Wilson Ave
Jackson, MS 39216
C. BACKGROUND: The Neptune Smart Docking Station (120V) is a central hub for Strykert s Neptune Waste
Management System. It drains hazardous surgical fluids from connected Neptune rovers, washes the
canisters with detergent, and automatically powers the system's cloud-based Smart Equipment
Management (SEM) data application
D. SUBSTITUTIONS OR ALTERNATE PRODUCTS: NONE/ NOT APPLICABLE. Only the Stryker Neptune docking
station is physically/electronically interoperable with the facility’s existing Neptune rovers, ensuring
hands free, closed path emptying and automated internal washing without modifying devices or SOPs.
E. SPECIFIC ITEMS TO BE PURCHASED:
Item # Item Description Quantity
0770-100-000 Neptune Smart Docking Station 120V 1
F. SCOPE:
The Neptune Smart Docking Station (120V) by Stryker is a stationary base unit that serves as the central hub
for the Neptune S and Neptune 3 Waste Management Systems. Its scope involves the automated, hands-
free disposal of biohazardous surgical fluid waste and surgical plume smoke

Features N/A
Analog
Specifications-
AC
Channels
The unit runs off a standard 120V AC wall outlet. Its core analog specifications and
AC/power features include:
1. Pover Requirements: Operates at 120V, AC, 3 amps.
2. Transfer (Coupling): The docking station uses electromagnetic/inductive couplers
rather than physical plug-in channels to transfer power directly to the rolling waste
unit (the Rover).
3. Electrical Specifications: Designed as a centrally located stationary unit with
integrated safety features to handle biohazardous waste.
Digital
Specifications
1. Voltage & Power: 120V- AC, 60 Hz, 3.0A, single phase.
2. Connectivity: Enabled with Wi-Fi capability and Smart Equipment Management
(SEM) to transmit performance data, service metrics, and rover insights to the
cloud.
3. Interface: Digital display and notification system for operation
modes, alerts. and system tracking.
4. Wash Cycles: Digitally controlled cycles with approximate times:
• Quick Drain: -2 minutes
• Standard Wash: -5 minutes
• Extended Wash: -45-50 minutes

Specifications
N/A
Modes of
Operation
1. Quick Drain I Wash Cycle (Approx. 2 minutes): Designed for rapid O.R. tumaround
between cases, this mode performs a fast empty and rinse.
2. Standard Cycle (Approx. 5 minutes): The default operational mode is designed to
empty the collected waste fluids into the hospital's wastewater system while
running internal rotating power washers and detergent through the rover's
containers.
3. Extended Wash Cycle (Approx. 50 minutes): A deep-clean mode typically used at
the end of the day to ensure the collection canisters and internal lines of the rover
are thoroughly sanitized and flushed

Wireless
Specifications
1. Wireless Standards: Standard Wi-Fi connectivity for wireless internet connection.
2. Data Transfer: Transmits real-time rover insights (location, maintenance needs. run-
time) to the cloud at the end of eve!)' docking cycle.
3. Local Communication: Uses infrared and electromagnetic couplers to automatically
engage and communicate directly with the mobile Rover unit during docking.
4. Security: Data transmitted is strictly diagnostic; no Patient Health Information (PHI)
is included.
5. Hardwire Options: Also includes physical Ethemet and USB ports for software
upgrades, maintenance, and localized troubleshooting.
6. Power & Compliance: Requires a 120V (120 VAC, 60 Hz, 12 A) electrical connection
and is engineered for medical electromagnetic compatibility (IEC 60601-1 Q) to
prevent RF signal interference in the operating room

PC Interface N/A
Amplifier
Mechanical
1. Pover Couplers (Wireless Transfer): The system uses electromagnetic power
couplers rather than traditional pin-and-socket plugs. It acts like a transformer,
where the primary winding is in the Docking Station and the secondary winding is
in the Rover. When docked, the two transformer halves align, allowing safe,
inductive transfer of power.
2. Hands-Free Cleaning & Emptying: Once the motorized Rover unit connects with the
docker, automated pumps and valves engage to drain the surgical fluid waste
directly into facility plumbing. It then rinses the internal canisters with clean water
and Neptune Docking Detergent 0700-001-026.
3. Mechanical Auto.Down Safety: The Rover features a motorized IV pole that rises
and falls. In the event of a power loss or emergency, an internal return spring and
brake mechanism engage. If the pole drops mechanically, the motor is back-driven
to act as a speed-limiting electrical gene…
