Field Medical Systems Engineering Development

Abstract

This project funds the engineering and manufacturing development of medical products for enhanced combat casualty care and follow-on care, including rehabilitation. This project funds pivotal (conclusive) human clinical trials or mechanical engineering evaluations for effectiveness of devices or biologics (products derived from living organisms) to fulfill unique military requirements. Mature commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) medical products are also evaluated for military use. Consideration is also given to reducing the medical sustainment footprint through smaller weight and cube volume, or equipment independence from supporting materiel. This work is frequently completed through a laboratory/contractor team with the contractor obtaining the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) licensure for sale of the product. Major contractors/intra-governmental agencies include: IGR Enterprises,Inc.;Army Medical Department Board Test Center;Se Qual Technologies,Inc.; Enginivity, Inc.;Ultrasound Diagnostics,Inc.;HemCon Medical Technologies,; Cerdak Ltd;Hemerus Medical,LLC; Fast Track Drugs & Biologics,LLC; Integrated Medical Systems,Inc;the National Institutes of Health National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI), and the U.S. Army Aeromedical Research Laboratory, Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR) and Institute of Surgical Research (ISR) for user evaluation. Other military agencies include Program Executive Office (PEO) Soldier, PEO Combat Service Support (CSS), and Naval Undersea Warfare Center.
