City M r ENCLOSURES:
RECOMMENDATION
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the
attached resolution rescinding resolution #k91-467 dated June 20,
1991 which awarded sole source procurement. of ten (10), monitor
defibrillators with diagnostic 12 lead capability to Marquette
Electronics Incorporated in the amount of $98,784.00, and
subsequently authorize the sole source purchase of ten (10),
Lifepak 11, 12 Lead monitor defibrillators from Physio-Control
Corporation, the manufacturer and sole distributor of the Lifepak
11, therein 'waiving the requirements for competitive sealed bids
for this purchase in the amount of $100,212.00.
BACKGROUND
The Department of Fire -Rescue, in conjunction with the University
of Miami School of Medicine pioneered a program that allowed our
paramedics to interpret 12 lead electrocardiograms in the field.
This capability provided our citizens with a level of cardiac
care that was unsurpassed throughout the country. Twelve lead
capability provides information that is not normally available to
paramedics who use the standard and more rudimentary equipment
which has been the main staple of prehospital emergency medical
care. The 12 lead equipment improves the chances of patient
survival and more importantly improves the quality of life of
surviving patients by reducing the amount of residual damage
after a myocardial infarction. Since the implementation of our
program, Fire -Rescue Services around. the country have strived to
emulate our approach.
The initial 12 lead clinical trials were performed by the City of
Miami Department of Fire -Rescue using equipment that was designed
for use in hospitals or physicians offices. Having proven the
necessity for this type of equipment, the Department sought to
find a manufacturer that could provide a 12 lead capable monitor
defibrillator for use in the prehospital setting.
95- 85 /V-/
Page 2
At this juncture, Marquette Electronics, a world renowned
manufacturer of electronic medical equipment for hospital use,
made the decision to cross over into the prehospital market and
provide the product we were seeking. The equipment was purchased
and put into use in late 1992.
In 1994, the Fire Department elected to exercise it's right to
end their relationship with Marquette Electronics and seek the
full refund that was promised by the manufacturer in the event
the product was found to be unsatisfactory. This decision was
inade after reviewing years of documentation that depicted
multiple electronic problems and two critical failures during
patient care.
Physio-Control Corporation used the aforementioned three years to
perfect a 12 lead monitor/defibrillator that is now available for
purchase, in the form of the Lifepak 11. This piece of equipment
offers the reliability gained through years of experience in the
preho,pital field. The Lifepak 11 has passed months of rigorous
field tests that were performed ii various major U.S. Cities
using Physio Control Corporation's exacting field test protocols.
The Physio-Control Lifepak 11 also offers compatibility with all
the components that have been purchased by the Department of
Fire -Rescue over the past 15 years. This compatibility produces a
cost savings by allowing the sharing of battery support systems
and the interchangeability of existing components. As an added
safeguard, Physio-Control has agreed to grant a complete money
back guarantee in the event the CiLy is not completely satisfied
with the product.
The Department of Fire -Rescue is committed to providing the
highest level of emergency medical service to the citizens of
this community and is convinced that the Lifepak 11 is the only
diacgaostic monitor/defibrillator that meets the requirements of
the Dej�art•nent.
Funding for this project will come primarily from the full refund
th.it w-is received f ro-n Marquette Electronics Incorporated, to be
allocated from C.I.P. Project 313237, Index Code No. 289901.956
($50,820.00) and Index Code No. 389901.€34O ($49,392.00) for a
total of $100,212.00.
