1. SUBJECT
Purchase six cardiac monitor / defibrillators, one Automatic External Defibrillator (AED) PRO
and fourteen replacement AED batteries from Zoll Medical Corporation for $243,678.51.
2. SUMMARY
Cardiac monitor /defibrillators are used on every Emergency Medical Service (EMS) incident.
These devices must work correctly one hundred percent of the time. These devices have become
increasingly sophisticated over the past 30 years. In addition to cardiac monitoring and
defibrillation these devices also perform the following functions:
• Synchronized Cardioversion
• Transthoracic Cardiac Pacing
• End Tidal Carbon Dioxide (EtCO2) monitoring
• Pulse Oximetry (SP02) monitoring
• Carbon Monoxide (CO) monitoring
• Non - Invasive Blood Pressures (NIBP)
• 12 -Lead EKG's
• Wireless data transfer of information from the cardiac monitor /defibrillator into the
electronic patient care record
C.I.P. funding for the purchase of this equipment is budgeted in FY 2015 -16.
3. RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approve the purchase of six Zoll "X" Series cardiac monitor /defibrillators, one AED PRO, and
fourteen replacement AED PRO batteries from Zoll Medical Corporation for $243,678.51.

7. DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND
In September 2014 the Fire Department purchased fourteen Zoll "X" Series cardiac
monitor /defibrillators to replace eight year -old cardiac monitor /defibrillators. These monitors
were chosen following extensive field testing by Orange City Fire Paramedics. Due to the
frequency of use and the harsh conditions these monitors are typically used in, normal
replacement periods are every five years. To properly equip all Fire Department apparatus,
including reserve apparatus, a total of twenty Zoll "X" Series cardiac monitor /defibrillators are
needed. For FY 2015 -16 the Fire Department secured appropriate C.I.P. funding to purchase the
six additional cardiac monitors needed as well as the required replacement AED batteries.
This purchase includes fourteen replacement batteries for the AED PRO devices carried on BLS
apparatus, and staff vehicles. Their non - rechargeable batteries require replacement every five
years. The current AED batteries are eight years old. Zoll Medical Corporation will be providing
one AED PRO monitor as a no -cost item for this quote. This device will be used during remote
rescue incidents when an "X" Series cardiac monitor /defibrillator is not practical.
Zoll "X" Series cardiac monitor /defibrillators coordinate seamlessly with other Fire Department
equipment such as AED PRO's, AutoPulse Devices and Electronic Patient Care Reporting
(ePCR) tablets. The Fire Department is piggybacking onto National Purchasing Partners (NPP)
Contract Pricing.
