Quarterly report for the Burn Diagnostic and Laser Debridement project, July--September 1995
The Burn Diagnostic and Laser Debridement project, CRADA Number SC93/01177 between Sandia and Wellman Laboratories of Photomedicine, will develop a prototype system for human trials of burn injury treatment using optical-based diagnostics and laser debridement. This quarterly progress report for July through September 1995 combines contributions from all team members on the project. The primary emphasis this quarter was completion of the Prototype Design Review. The review was conducted in two sessions, first at Sandia and second at Wellman. The objectives were to validate the requirements, compare the design intent with the stated requirements, critique the design, and conclude with a rating of acceptable, conditionally acceptable, or unacceptable. Although the design was rated conditionally acceptable at Sandia, the Wellman researchers felt too many issues were unresolved and therefore could not support that rating. The authors have initiated a plan to rapidly reach consensus on the remaining unresolved requirement issues so that construction of the Prototype II system can begin.
