Continuation of the project. Name two (2) methods (solutions) to deal with contaminated waste during a Highly Consequence infectious Disease (HCID) airlift mission and describe these parameters for each solution ( method)

1) Logistical requirements

2) Maintenance requirements

3) Post treatment consideration

ASSESSMENT SCORE OVERVIEW HIGHEST TOTAL SCORE POSSIBLE = 3 An assessment score of 1 indicates the solution is not an idea solution, is very complicated to implement and or will have minimal impact. A score of 3 indicates this solution is ideal and satisfies the goal of that criteria Weight Assessment Score 1 (solution is not a good fit) to 3 (solution is an ideal fit) Total Score 1. Kill log 2 or less (0-99%); 2. Kill Log 3-4 (99.9-99.99%); 3. Kill Log 5-6 (99.999 99.9999%) 20% 3 0.6 1: Solution is limited in it’s efficacy against most of the potential agents 2: Solution is effective against a majority of potential agents 3. Solution is effective against all potential agents 20% 3 0.6 15% 3 0.45 Category Assessment Criteria Description Assessment Score 1 Kill Log Takes into consideration the amount of biological agent inactivated or killed during the decontamination process. 2 Impact on Agent Resilience Takes into consideration agent resiliency in terms of stability, persistency in various environments, and resilience to current decontamination methods Evidence 3 Ease of Use 1: Solution take notable amount of Takes into consideration how easy time/equipment/skills to utilize 2: Solution take the solution is to use. Are there minimal time/equipment/skills to utilize 3: additional processes needed to Solution requires minimal to no additional prep or use the solution (i.e. vortex, equipment/skills other resources to be utilized (i. ice, water) e. is a solo solution) 4 Energy Requirements Takes into consideration if the solution requires electricity, the power source (battery, direct plug into circuit, etc), how much energy the solution requires, and the amount of time the solution requires the energy source. 1:Source will require an addtional energy source on top of what is provided. 2: Solution requires maximum energy source. 3: Solution requires no electrical source. 15% 3 0.45 5 Storage Considerations Takes into consideration the amount of space the base solution will occupy and any additional storage requirement for materials to run it (e.x. water, fuel, etc) 1. Solution + materials occupy space significantly greater than [dimension]; 2. Solution + materials occupy space equaling [dimension]; 3. Solution + materials occupy less space than [dimensions] 10% 3 0.3 6 Availability of Solution Takes into consideration if the solution is currently available, in development and almost ready for commercialization or something that is in the early phases of development 1: Solution is in the early phases of development and will not be available for 5-10 years 2: Solution is in development and almost ready for commercialization or available in a RUO format 3: Solution is readily available and there would be adequate long-term supply 5% 3 0.15 7 Post-Treatment Considerations 5% 3 0.15 8 Logistics 5% 3 0.15 9 Cost 5% 3 0.15 1:Solution requires atleast 2 or more supporting components/dependent on other material (ie, equipment, material); and may require a secondary process for decontamination or inactivation. 2:Solution requries one addtional compoent. 3: Solution requries a minimum of one material that provides desire impact. Takes in consideration addtional 1:Solution requires significant supporting maintenance for solutions in materials. 2:Solution requries a moderate amount relation to quanitiy of materials for of supporting materials. 3:Solution requires each cycle. minimal amount of supporting materials 1:Solution requires continued purchase of Takes into consideration intial cost materials and costs over $1M in fiscal year 2: of solution or technology, the cost Solution is greater than $250,000 but less than of addtional materials required, $500,000 per year. 3: Solution is less than and total cost of 24h mission $250,000 per year. Takes in consideration if the solution is a ‘one size fits all’, does it do containment and decontamination vs something that requires addtional steps after mission is completed. Add in maintenance criteria to this section Total 100% 27 Highlight this assessment score, we may want more variation since the criteria is weighted so heavily 3
