Field Medical Systems Advanced Development

Abstract

This project funds the demonstration and validation of medical products for enhanced combat casualty care and follow-on care, including rehabilitation. This project funds human clinical trials to test the safety and effectiveness of biologics (products derived from living organisms) and devices necessary to meet medical requirements. When available, commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) medical products are also tested and evaluated for transition to system development and demonstration. Consideration is also given to reducing the medical logistics footprint through smaller weight, volume, and equipment independence from supporting materials. All clinical trials are conducted in accordance with U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations. Major contractors/intra-governmental agencies include: IGR Enterprises, Inc.; Army Medical Department Board Test Center; SeQual Technologies, Inc.; Ultrasonic Diagnostics, Inc.; HemCon Medical Technologies, Inc.; Hemerus Medical, LLC.; Fast Track Drugs & Biologics, LLC; Clinical Research Management, and 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, and Naval Undersea Warfare Center.
