Folks, the effort has paid off.?
The lawyers at UF, once properly appraised of the NUMBER of volunteers working on this, have an extremely strong liability and legal defense coverage for any volunteers who are ACKNOWLEDGED FORMALLY AS VOLUNTEERS.? ?The University of Florida is not a manufacturing facility; we are a healthcare medical school (Plus liberal arts, etc) -- and your expertise, incorporated into a ventilator, should it be used on patients at our hospital -- you will not onlly have coverage, you would have legal defense, and yoiu cannot even be sued individually? ?THIS is the coveraaage that I *always* had as a physician working for them for 30 years, that ALL their employees have, and that now YOU will enjoy.? If you are on the attached list of formal volunteers.
ATTENTION SQUAGLE:? ?We cannot provide coverage for you without your NAME and where you live.? ?So please provide that or we can't provide coverage for you -- it is your choice, we can't FORCE you to identify yourself of course.??
ATTENTION THOSE REQUIRING INDEMNIFICATION:? ? ?The University of Florida is prevented by law from providing you with Indemnification.? ?So that will not happen for you.? ? Just letting you know the message from the lawyer.? ?The protection for acknowledged volunteers is EXTREMELY STRONG in my opinion --- it has many layers that are almost impenetrable.? ?I never worried in my career when covered by that protection.??
NOW -- for the REST OF THE WORLD:? ?There are carefully worded disclaimers on the University of florida CSSALT page on this design that explain to potential builders, manufacturers etc outside of University of Florida --- you are welcome to use the information; you have no warantee, no coverage, NOTHING from UF.? ?And of course that is as it should be.? ?IF we are successful (with the hellp of all these volunteers about to be acknolwedged, hopefully before NOON EDT today) at getting an FDA EUA -- *then* other manufacturers will likely have a TON EASIER TIME getting one for THEIR project as well.? ? ?
This is a very positive outcome, and I appreciate greatly Dan D'Alesio (UF Lawyer) who immediately recognized the concern and immediaately found ways to cover these volunters -- and also many of you who have proivately or publicly given me crucial advice to search for this coverage.? ?So I expect to be fully operational again for UF within a couple of hours.
See the attached document filed with Dr. Gravenstein of UF last night for the list of volunteers about to be acknowledged.

Gordon:
My info looks good.
I'm working on the menuing system for the code I sent yesterday and I'm making good progress. The code is pretty easy to read and I think anyone will a little C knowledge will be able to change it "in the field" as they need (e.g., translate prompts). I'll send it when I have the menuing system working. Then I'll add the pressure sensor and alarm code.

Gordon - Thanks for the work putting this together.? I appreciate all that you, Dan D'Alesio and everyone else is doing trying to get the legal taken care of.
My concern with the?IEC 60601-1 Compatible design is that the very people we need to help get the design there are the ones that have been the most 'spooked' by the recent legal back and forth.? I'll have some time today to meet with and better understand how the hardware, software and QA volunteers feel about moving forward.??
Thanks again to everyone working on this project in all its different facets.?
|
Bob & Squagle:
Bob:? sorry, OM, but can you remind me of the area of your contributions?? ?I'll need that plus full name, address and email to add you.? ?I could find most of that, but if you just provide it save my time
Squagle:? This is excellent liability coverage FOR UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA -- which is the only place that our particular system will be employed -- others will have to provide separate coverage.? ?If you wish to be covered at the UF,....I have to have your name, and address.? Like NOW
Thanks!
Gordon

Nik, I have dr Schmidt who apparently really does want to be on the volunteer list. ? He was previously on the decline list but has indicated that I misunderstood him.
(Well it was pretty simple I asked who wanted and you originally said it wasn¡¯t necessary. ?)
So do you want to be included on the list? I think I have your address already. ? to be on the safe side why don¡¯t you give it to me??

Thanks everyone for providing information? ?I hope the legal eagles will take care of all of us.? ?
they didn't quite understand the large number of people who were giving them FREE EXPERTISE......
Guess they got more than what they bargained for???
but if you really care about a project, you give it your best.
I've been off running errands to work on this....and still have much much more to do.? ?But some of the ideas that some of you have provided are starting to significantly improve the system.? ??
And the TESLA people are basicallly barking up the exact same tree....they just have better valves (probably $$$) and a bunch of paid engineers who have a lot of expertise also.? ?More power to them!!!!!? ?Having multiple people working on it is great.? ?And the docs are working on better treatements --- so a lot of research and private enterprise.??
Just need to remind everyone -- the Universtiy of Florid is NOT a manufactuer, nor an insurance carrier.? ?We do projects for the good of the world, and for the care of our patients and for the creation (normally) of licenseable knowledge.? ?In this case we are giving it away free.? ?Thus our disclaimer has always made it very clear that USE IS AT YOUR PERIL -- so more power to those of you who are manufactuers, but you will need to do your part as a manufacturer.? ?We cannot ditch everything that we have merely because you have an improved method which we could have working in, say, 2-3 weeks......that will be way too late.? ?If you have something, MAKE IT WORK and SUBMIT YOUR EUA.? ?Simple as that, folks.? ?we are GIVING YOU LOTS OF FREE INFO -- you run with it, OK?

Somewhat frustrated by the long delay and lack of information I phoned Dr. Gravenstein to find out what is going on. ?They have all the information ready, and are trying to get into see Dr. Morey for his signature. ??
so we are apparently in a bureaucratic delay.?
people can only do so much I guess.?
I am still hopeful this will happen, but it is frustrating to wait for it. ? I will have rushed printed circuit boards arriving later today, but I cannot deliver them to UF without this protection ¡ªeven if it means I eat the cost of having them made¡ª Which was more than I have paid for quite a few used pactor ?modems!!?
Such is life.

Well, at about 330 this afternoon, 30 minutes ago, I got notice that we are finally approved for the list that we cobbled together of people who wanted to be on the volunteer list. ?They had agreed to 10, I think we might¡¯ve gone over, and I hope they were willing to take the extras, I don¡¯t think they had any clue the vast number of people who were generously giving of their time and talents. ??
these are lawyers we have to deal with, and the one who worked on this appears to be a stellar fellow, but apparently they had to do some background checks and that took some time. ??
but I¡¯m happy to report that things are finally settled and as soon as I have a scan I will share that with you. ? At least it will give you an idea what to request the next time one of these things comes up. ?I also sent them a green, yellow, red coded report of what I saw happening right now and what were the worst impediments. ? ??
thanks to everyone for everything that you have done, let¡¯s hope this makes some progress. ?I have a ham club meeting by zoom to chair tonight, so may not get much done for a while. ?
