  1. Home Device Emergency Use Case Richard Crawford (OS/ASPR) (CTR) Allison Kumar (FDA/CDRH) Suzanne Schwartz (FDA/CDRH) JianchoaZeng (FDA/CDRH)

  2. -Use Case-Emergency Device Status • The homecare devices available today are allowing more and more critical care device dependent patients to live and function at home. This greatly reduces their healthcare cost and provides a better environment for the patient as well. • However this becomes an issue during a disaster that disrupts power to these devices. During these types of disasters patients are going directly to the hospitals to get the power that their devices need and clogging the facility. As a result this problem has created interference with the hospitals ability to quickly provide assistance to the injured due to being overwhelmed by the critical care homecare patients needing power for their devices.

  3. -Use Case-Emergency Device Status • The first responders need to know where these patients are and what their power status is at the time of the disaster. Knowing this information they can then quickly get to these patients and get them to an area that can provide the support that they need without disrupting the hospitals.

  4. Solution • To get this information to the first responders we are looking at the development and distribution of a new tracking device. The new device we are discussing is what we are calling a “Communication Means Device (CMD)”. • The CMD is connected to a critical homecare device and will transmit the power status and location at all times to a central hub. The idea here is to use the systems that have already been established by industry to track the elderly, children, Alzheimer's patients, etc..

  5. Solution • At this time this service is provided for about $10.00 to $30.00 per month. Several companies that are currently providing this service have been contacted and they are very interested in expanding into this area of providing support for these types of patients. • During discussions with industry they have agreed that the device that we are discussing is very easy to create by modifying their existing devices and will only cost between $100 to $200 per unit.

  6. Role of Standards • As part of this project we will need to establish a standard protocol that is to be used to communicate between the critical care devices and the communication means device. Please help us understand the best way to establish this new standard. • Need to communicate: • Power status • Device location
