ANALYSIS
The Miami Beach Fire Rescue Department continually researches advanced technologies in
order to provide innovative medical treatment to the citizens and visitors of the City of Miami
Beach. This is especially true concerning the latest breakthroughs in advanced cardiac
diagnosis and treatment. The state of the art LifePak 15monitor-defibrillator offers the latest
advances in continuous, non-invasive monitoring of carbon monoxide and Oxygen
saturation. In addition, treatment oflife-threatening heart attacks is enhanced by automatic,
continuous monitoring of all 12 cardiac leads in the background and immediately alerting
the paramedics to changes via the St-Segment Trending feature. These new features
integrated within the device strongly benefit the Rescue Division and: by extension, the
critically ill patients being treated (or cardiac insu~ciency by saving precious time and space
and by freeing personnel to perform other critical tasks. By combing multiple functions into
one machine, it is easier and more effective for personnel to monitor the various data feeds
for patients and requires fewer devices to be in an already tight operating environment.
All of these features, including the ability to internally archive up to two hundred (200)
waveform cardiac events for later retrieval for Quality Assurance/Quality Control purposes
are exclusive features of the Physio-Control product. The fact that all other existing Fire
Department monitoring equipment, including Rescue Division and Ocean Rescue Division
Automatic External Defibrillators (AED s) are Physio-Control products is another important
factor. This provides compatibility and eliminates the need for multiple service, supply, and
repair contracts. Physio-Control is the only Monitor/Defibrillator manufacturer that offers
service and repairs in the field by in-house authorized Physio-Control technicians.
Physio-Control, a division of Medtronic, Inc., is the only source from which to obtain the
LIFEPAK® defibrillator/monitor family of products, including specifically, accessories
(including batteries and electrodes): repair parts & upgrades, remanufactured devices, and
services in Florida. Physio-Control does not utilize the services of any authorized dealers or
distributors in the sale of its products in this market.
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission adopt the attached
resolution approving and authorizing the issuance of a Purchase Order to Physio-Control,
Inc. as the sole source provider of the Lifepak 15 Defibrillator/Monitor in the amount of
$193,461.09.
