The MN Chapter mails a Lease for Loan
Agreement to all PALS registered in ALSA MN Chapter explaining in detail
the
terms in which the individual is going to keep, maintain equipment, and
contact
the chapter should something happen to the equipment. When equipment
is no
longer used, individuals are asked to return it as soon as possible
so others
may use it. In addition to this form, we have a separate Hrbek-Sing
Loan
agreement we have individuals sign and receive a copy to keep for their
records
of the equipment (AAC devices, switches, headpointing systems, etc.)
loaned
that is later entered in a database at the ALSA MN Chapter.
Hopefully this is
helpful! Fax: 763-520-0355| From:

[mailto:xxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On
Behalf Of Antoinette Verdone I have a question about loan closet liability.
This
probably is more relevant for DME. What are chapters doing as far as having patients sign
some
sort of agreement absolving the chapter of any liability of the use of the
loaner equipment? If you have an agreement that is signed, do you have
people
sign before they get equipment? If not, do they sign it after they
get
the equipment, or at another time? What do you do if you do not
receive a
signed agreement from the patient? I would like to hear what others are doing.
