Valley Cottage, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/28/2018 -- Home care medical devices are intended for use in any environment outside a professional healthcare facility. The user could be a patient, caregiver, or family member who directly uses the homecare medical device or provides assistance in using the homecare medical device. A qualified healthcare professional is a licensed or non-licensed healthcare professional with proficient skills and expertise in the use of the homecare medical device such that they can aid or train care recipients and caregivers to use and maintain the device. The homecare medical equipment market consists primarily of wheelchairs, scooters, oxygen treatment equipment, accessibility beds, lifts, and toilets, which have until recently been sold primarily through distributers. As patients move to the use of home care services for recovery or long-term care, the homecare medical devices are necessary for their care. As a result, complex medical devices are used more frequently in the home, many times under unsuitable conditions. This in turn has adverse implications on the safety and effective operation of these homecare medical devices, especially those with sophisticated requirements for proper operation or maintenance.
