- Description
- The U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command (USAMRMC) envisions potential future battlefield scenarios of prolonged field care, which will result in the presentation of critically ill patients with acute lung injury (ALI) and acute kidney injury (AKI) far-forward on the battlefield. The response to this scenario will include deploying lightweight, rugged, user-friendly extracorporeal life support (ECLS) devices to Field Hospitals (Role of Care 3) and to transport patients during fixed wing medical evacuation. MTEC's upcoming program announcement will request proposals to build ECLS devices that integrate the two functions of respiratory and renal support (including extracorporeal blood purification) into one platform. These devices will replace all or part of the function of the lungs for patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome or other types of pulmonary failure, and/or of the function of the kidneys for patients with AKI. This combination device increases its practicality on the battlefield, where every ounce of weight and cubic foot of space is coveted. MTEC will issue a staged competition that proceeds from white papers, to a down selected set of schematics, and finally to a prototype build that would undergo testing in an animal model. The ultimate objective is to produce a product that could reach FDA approval and be bought to bear on improving far forward battlefield trauma care and evacuation. Here is the Request for Project Proposal https://mtec-sc.org/active-solicitations/
