Should not be a problem so long as you have an EyeMax Loaner?  The ‘camera’ portion of the EyeMax can be removed, and reconnected to another VMax.  Some ‘initialization’ necessary for the VMax and ‘camera’ to talk to each other…but should be doable.  You end up with a working ‘VMax’ in the loan closet until the ‘camera’ is returned. 

 

Best,

Subject: Looking for loaner

 

I am wondering if anyone has had luck getting just the “eye gaze” portion of the Eyemax as a loaner before.

 

I have a PALS patient in ICU right now that already has a DynaVox Vmax but can no longer access it via his head mouse because of a decline in head and neck movement. He only has medicare and is getting placed in a subacute home upon discharge so getting funding for the eyemax may not be feasible.

 

I’d love to get him a loaner EyeMax accessory if possible to allow him to communicate. They do not have funds to purchase one out of pocket or pay the copay.

 

Any suggestions welcome please.
