Lord - 2 October 12, 2004 Consider approving the upgrade of eight (8) defibrillator monitors used in the EMS Division City of Beaumont ...A.M.�• Council Agenda� = • ` I tem TO: City Council FROM: Kyle Hayes, City Manager PREPARED BY: Kirby Richard, Internal Services Director MEETING DATE: October 12, 2004 AGENDA MEMO DATE: October 5, 2004 REQUESTED ACTION: Council consider the upgrade of eight(8) defibrillator monitors. RECOMMENDATION Administration recommends the upgrade of eight (8) Medtronic Physio-Control defibrillator monitors by Medtronic Physio-Control of Redmond, WA in the amount of$49,682.08. BACKGROUND Cardiac monitors, known as defibrillators, are installed on the City's EMS ambulances and are operated by trained Emergency Medical Technicians and Paramedics who provide advanced life support to patients suffering from cardiac arrest and/or cardiac arrhythmia. The defibrillator is used to direct a brief high-energy pulse of electricity to the heart by using electrodes or paddles applied directly to the chest. Paramedics gather and enter information, such as the patient's name, age, gender, and vital signs, into the defibrillator's computer while the defibrillator monitors the patient's condition based on information such as the oxygen content in the blood,the heart beat rhythm, and the shock tally. A summary report of the patient's condition is automatically generated by the defibrillator monitor. Currently, a printout of the summary report is given to the attending physician for evaluation upon arrival at an Emergency Room. The requested upgrade to the City's eight(8)EMS defibrillators will allow the information gathered by the defibrillator to be transmitted via the ambulance's cellular phone system to the Emergency Room. Locally, the Trauma Unit at the St. Elizabeth's Hospital Emergency Room is equipped to receive such transmissions. The attending physician can begin an evaluation prior to the patient's actual arrival in order to better prepare for the patient and begin treatment more quickly. Cardiac Monitor Upgrade October 5,2004 Page 2 In addition to allowing the advanced transmission of data,the upgrade will convert the City's 3-lead monitors into 12-lead monitors that will offer enhanced graphics of the heart further assisting the rapid diagnosis and treatment of patients. The upgrade includes onsite installation by Medtronic Physio-Control technicians and consists of the following software and hardware components: Quantity Description Unit Price Total Price 8 12-Lead ECG Monitoring Field Upgrade $5,622.26 $44,978.08 8 Printer Hardware Kit $150.00 $1,200.00 8 Fax Transmission Software $225.00 $1,800.00 8 Internal Modem for cellular transmission $210.00 $1,680.00 8 Modem Door Assembly $3.00 $24.00 TOTAL: $6,210.26 $49,682.08 This upgrade is exempt from competitive bidding since it is available from only one (1) source having exclusive rights to maintain or modify the Medtronic Physio-Control monitors or software. BUDGETARY IMPACT Funds for this expenditure are budgeted in the Capital Reserve Fund. PREVIOUS ACTION None. SUBSEQUENT ACTION None. RECOMMENDED BY City Manager, Internal Services Director, and Public Health Director
