    Here are several education resources targeting community clinicians / first responders:This is the link to the current PDF version of the EMS field guide document:  https://www.mylvad.com/sites/default/files/EMS%20Field%20Guides/2021%20Field%20Guides/ICCAC_Emergency_Guides_20_21-1.pdfThe Emergency care of a HM3 is a pamphlet created by the manufacturer.The MedStar ED LVAD Job Aid has the on call coordinator pager number. It is a challenge to use in the field if the scene is noisy. The call is “answered” by a computer that says, “enter your numeric message”. The action required is that the responder uses the phone key pad to put in the 10 digit phone number you want the vad coordinator to call. Turn around time is 2 – 3 minutes. We have patients and caregivers practice paging. If you or someone on your team would like to practice so the first time using the system is not during an emergency, please do so but say quickly when we answer that it is just a test.
