Item Summary/Recommendation:
The Miami Beach Fire Rescue Department continually researches advanced technologies in order to provide
cutting edge 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 15
monitor-defibrillator offers the latest advances in continuous, non-invasive monitoring of carbon monoxide and
oxygen saturation. In addition, treatment of life-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 for cardiac insufficiency by saving precious time and space
and by freeing personnel to perform other critical tasks. 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. Funding is available in
the amount of $31,079.40 from the Fire Department General Fund Budget 011-1220-000674. The Fire
Department began the transition from the LP12 to the LP15 in December of 2009 when eight (8) units were
purchased and placed into service
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
