Patient Education Tool: Home Healthcare Medical Devices Checklist

The FDA has developed a free, downloadable checklist for patients on how to use and maintain their medical device safely and effectively in your home.

 

The brochure — titled "Home Healthcare Medical Devices: A Checklist" — addresses a number of areas including understanding how the devices work, proper care and operation of devices, backup plans and education of family members on the devices.
