[H1] The manufacturing ecosystem Innovative Makers and hobbyists are stepping in to fill the gaps in the PPE supply chain resulting from the COVID-19 public health emergency, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued emergency use authorizations (https://www.fda.gov/medicaldevices/emergency-situations-medical-devices/emergency-use-authorizations#covid19ppe) to waive requirements for labeling and good manufacturing practices. Although the emergency use authorizations issued by the FDA for face shields (https://www.fda.gov/media/136842/download) and for systems developed by industry, such as the Battelle Decontamination System (https://www.fda.gov/media/136529/download), which can disinfect thousands of masks at a time using a vapor-phase hydrogen peroxide, are only effective for the duration of the COVID-19 crisis, this does not diminish the important role of the community as a stopgap in this time of need.	./cache/cord-205941-npp6566r.txt	./txt/cord-205941-npp6566r.txt
