 What if the patient has a device not listed in the PIFT approved device list that is essential for continued use in transport?

Solution

The MDPB has authorized certain additional exceptions that PIFT paramedics may transport. The key is that the device must be low risk and require little to no intervention from the paramedic. The PIFT paramedic will work with you to resolve this issue through the service medical director or Maine EMS at the time of transfer.
