- Description
- 3.3.1.Key Task 1 - Contractor shall determine required performance characteristics (primarily vacuum suction flow rate, pressure, and fluid/particle viscosity/size) for management of prehospital Combat Casualty Care injuries. This will be a requirements-based analysis derived primarily from combat data and supplemented with physiologic data, medical literature and where relevant, industry standards. Performance statement: Report of performance characteristics. Deliverable 90 days after contract award. Acceptable Quality Level (AQL): Completed as required 98% of the time Monitoring Method: Periodic Inspection 3.3.2.Key Task 2 - Contractor will determine safety parameters (primarily maximum vacuum strength that will not injure tissue). This will be a literature-based analysis relying on data regarding suction reported in animal and human studies. As part of this effort, a study utilizing human, animal, or cadaver models will be designed and a protocol drafted to safety test a suction device. The The study must meet applicable ethical and legal requirements for research and be feasibly implementable. Performance statement: Deliverables will be : 1) A report of safety parameters, and 2) Written protocol of study that is ready for regulatory review. Deliverable 9 months after delivery of report in Task 1. Acceptable Quality Level (AQL): Completed as required 98% of the time Monitoring Method: Periodic Inspection 3.3.3Key Task 3 - Contractor will develop a standard performance test for combat suction validation. Suction devices for prehospital combat casualty care have unique performance requirements and should be tested in a manner that effectively simulates the anticipated pathophysiology. The study must meet applicable ethical and legal requirements for research and be feasibly implementable. Performance statement: Deliverables will be: 1) A report of a test of combat suction performance, and 2) Written protocol of study that is ready for regulatory review. 3.3.4 Key Task 4 - Contractor will develop a specifications list for a portable, lightweight prehospital suction device. Using market research that includes key stakeholder input (e.g., military experts and field medics), develop a list of key operational and ergonomic specifications for the combat suction device including weight, size, power requirements, etc. Support each specification using relevant stakeholder data or standards derived from industry or medical literature sources. Performance statement: Deliverables will be: A report of specifications. 3.3.5Key Task 5 - Contractor will evaluate current commercially available products against operational requirements and ergonomic factors. This evaluation will be a design specification evaluation comparing the manufacturer's published specifications. Performance statement: Deliverables will be: A report comparing commercially available devices. 3.3.6Key Task 6 - Contractor will develop a concept design for a ruggedized, lightweight, portable, powered handheld suction device that is capable of quickly and fully clearing fluid and debris from the airway of a combat casualty. The concept should meet the following fundamental requirements: 1) Portable, 2) Lightweight, 3) Battery Powered, 4) Easily decontaminated from body fluids, 5) operable in anticipated environmental conditions (per Mil Std), and 6) be certifiable airworthy (per Mil Std). Performance statement: Deliverables will be: A report of a design concept including basic design specifications, appropriate sketches, identification of key parts and costs, and discussion of existing patent issues that affect the design. Final deliverable: Prepare a final report that integrates and articulates all the deliverables into a report summarizing the results and proposing future steps toward the development of a prehospital combat medical suction device.
