To develop an assistive technology device classification (ATDC) consistent with the Assistive Technology Act (ATA2004), Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA2008), International Classification System of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), International Classification of Disease, Ninth Revision-Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) and American Medical Association's Current Procedural Terminology (CPT).
Current assistive technology device (ATD) classifications include: the National Classification System for Assistive Technology Devices and ATSs (RTI/NCS) published in 2000; ISO 9999: technical aids for persons with disabilities - classification and terminology (ISO 9999) published in 1992, 1998, 2002 and 2007 and ICF-based AT classification (ICF/AT2007) published in 2009.
To derive 'requirements' for ATD classification from the ATA2004, ADA2008, ICF, ICD-9-CM and CPT. Review the ATD classifications and online databases against requirements. Construct the ATDC to be consistent with all requirements and demonstrate with examples.
Existing ATD classifications and online databases are inconsistent with requirements. The ATDC is consistent and has inclusion and exclusion criteria, classification rules, employs ICF coding, extendable hierarchy and language and uses standard device naming conventions. Conclusion. The ATDC has broad application to: provision of AT ATSs (ATSs), characterisation and analysis of AT industries, Federally sponsored research pertaining to AT development and commercialisation, and Federal health insurance scope of benefits.
开发一种与《辅助技术法案》（ATA2004）、《美国残疾人法案》（ADA2008）、《国际功能、残疾和健康分类系统》（ICF）、《疾病和有关健康问题的国际统计分类，第九次修订本，临床修订版》（ICD-9-CM）以及美国医学协会的《现行程序术语》（CPT）相一致的辅助技术设备分类（ATDC）。
当前的辅助技术设备（ATD）分类包括：2000年发布的《辅助技术设备和辅助技术服务国家分类系统》（RTI/NCS）；1992年、1998年、2002年和2007年发布的ISO 9999：残疾人技术辅助器具——分类和术语（ISO 9999）以及2009年发布的基于ICF的AT分类（ICF/AT2007）。
从ATA2004、ADA2008、ICF、ICD-9-CM和CPT中得出ATD分类的“要求”。对照要求审查ATD分类和在线数据库。构建与所有要求相一致的ATDC并用示例进行说明。
现有的ATD分类和在线数据库与要求不一致。ATDC是一致的，具有纳入和排除标准、分类规则，采用ICF编码，具有可扩展的层次结构和语言，并使用标准的设备命名惯例。结论。ATDC具有广泛的应用：提供辅助技术辅助器具（ATSs）、AT行业的特征描述和分析、与AT开发和商业化相关的联邦资助研究以及联邦健康保险福利范围。
