Hi
Erin- You
might want to double check that the Vmax you have has the specs to run an
EyeMax add-on… (some of the earlier ones don’t have enough
memory to run the EyeMax) Margaret

Lieman 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, Ben

Singleton 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. Erin Singleton
