Attention WSRC members,
1. The Strategic National Stockpile (SNS) holds an inventory of ventilators of various types that can be deployed during a public health emergency if public health and healthcare facilities need additional ventilators to care for patients. Currently, there are three ventilator models in the SNS: Covidien (Puritan Bennett) LP10, Vyaire (CareFusion) LTV1200 and the Zoll (Impact Implementation).
If a healthcare facility needs supplemental ventilators from the SNS during a public health emergency, it should work through the state public health department. State health officials are the ones who can request federal assistance for supplies, including ventilators. If you need assistance with this process, please contact the Division of Strategic National Stockpile (DSNS) Operations Center sns.ops@cdc.gov
2. Here is a link to AARC resources, regarding SNS ventilators and training:

3. We are communicating with every agency possible, including our state leaders at the Capitol, in regards to compact licenses and moving human resources across state lines. I assure you, as we get the information in, we will forward it out to everyone. We want to make sure we are being precise and consistent with our communication.
4. Here is a link to the AARC Connect COVID 19 page, which is a fantastic resource for you to review.

Thank you,
