Background Information:
Since at least 1984, the Department of Fire Rescue has been utilizing equipment provided by
Medtronic Emergency Response Systems, Inc. (formerly known as Medtronic Physio-Control
Corporation). Usage and extensive field tests of comparable equipment on the market have
conclusively proven the superior function and reliability of Medtronic's products. To date, the
Department of Fire Rescue has ninety (90) Lifepak defibrillator/monitors and related equipment that
is currently used throughout the department in its day-to-day operations. This equipment and service
is necessary for total compatibility of the Department of Fire Rescue current inventory of
defibrillator/monitors.
In addition, since Medtronic manufactures all of the Department of Fire -Rescue's cardiac monitoring
and defibrillation equipment, the Chief Procurement Officer has deemed the acquisition of
defibrillator/monitors and equipment maintenance services by Medtronic Emergency Response
Systems, Inc. as a source; it is therefore recommended at this time that the city Commission ratify the
Manager's finding of sole source and authorize the acquisition of these products and service.
