Title
A Resolution Approving a Purchase Agreement with Zoll Medical Corporation for One (1) Cardiac Monitor for the Fire Department in an Amount Not to Exceed $35,399.52 and Authorizing Execution of the Purchase

End
Overview
Overview
One of the seven cardiac monitors used by the Fire department has exceeded its eight-year service life and no longer will accept technology upgrades from the manufacturer. Replacing it with a new monitor will give our front-line ambulances the latest technology for diagnosing and treating patients.

Body
Staff Recommendation
Approve the Resolution

Fiscal Impact
The monitor including needed accessories is $35,399.52. This is budgeted for in 2019 ($36,000) under Fire Department Capital Improvement projects.

Background
The Fire Department paramedics use cardiac monitors on our ambulances and in all our front-line fire apparatus. The monitors are used to interpret cardiac rhythms which in turn determines diagnosis and treatments for patients having cardiac issues. They also are used for defibrillation, taking blood pressures, monitoring blood oxygen levels, and ensuring proper endotracheal intubation placement. Currently one of our seven monitors has exceeded the eight-year life cycle set by industry standards to accept technology upgrades and minimize maintenance issues. The monitor to be replaced, Zoll E Series, does not have 12-lead transmission capability which our area hospitals have upgraded to. Staff is recommending new Zoll X Series monitors. All our other monitors are Zolls so training and paramedic familiarity will maximize effective usage and outcomes.

Alternatives
The Village Board can delay action and seek further information.
