Infector Detector: Specifications

The system must be able to detect the presence of biofilms on urinary catheters by detection of AHL, at a minimum concentration of 5nM, and report with a visual signal within 3 hours. It must work within a temperature range of 20°-30°C, be portable and easy to use, have a shelf life of at least seven days, and must not be harmful or infectious.

Property	Value
Inputs	System must be sensitive to AHL concentration between 5-50nM
Outputs	System must give a visual signal if bacteria is present
Response Time	System needs to have a response time under 3 hour
Operating Conditions	System must operate within temperature 20-30°C
	System must operate within pH range of 6-8
Health & Safety	System Must not be living replicating bacteria, and in any way harmful or infectious.
Lifespan	System must have a shelf life of 7 days
Packaging	System must be portable and convenient to use
