Perry, Purchasing Supervisor�..� <br /> SUBJECT: Purchase of Defibrillator <br /> SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends awarding contract to Medtronic <br /> Emergency Response Systems to furnish two (2) LifePak LP 12 defibrillator/monitors. <br /> BACKGROUND: These defibrillators will be used by the Fire Department. They replace 8+ <br /> year old units currently in use. <br /> This is a sole source purchase. Medtronics is the manufacturer of LifePak defibrillators. The <br /> Fire Department has standardized with this manufacturer so all their defibrillators use the same <br /> paper, batteries, and analyzers. In addition, the LifePak units are compatible with the units at <br /> each of the hospitals and the ambulance service. This allows for the three leads and connectors <br /> on the units to be interchangeable once a person is transferred from the care of the Fire <br /> Department to the ambulance/hospital. <br /> POTENTIAL OBJECTION: None <br /> INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: Fire Department requested the units. <br /> STAFF REFERENCE: Les Albert, Fire Chief, �24-2762. Mark Hansen, Deputy Fire Chief, <br /> 424-2762. Les Albert will be at the City Council meeting to answer any questions council may <br /> have about this purchase. <br /> BUDGET: $8245 each or $16,490 total from the General Fund. <br />
