The Depaitulent of Fire -Rescue ("Fire -Rescue") needs to purchase Airtraq to effectively treat patients in emergency situations. Fire -Rescue performs endotracheal intubation as its primary form of airway management in order to aid patients while being transported to the hospital. In the field, getting a clear view of the trachea is very difficult. The Airtraq is used on patients in emergency laryngoscopy procedures and serves to get a clear view of the trachea, larynx (voice box), the vocal cords, and nearby structures like the back of the throat. Airtraq's laryngoscope blades are specific to Airtraq, are made for single use, and are disposable. Fire -Rescue personnel experience a very high success rate using the Airtraq, in contrast to alternatives, but very different products that have a higher failure rate, causing faster consumption of consumable supplies and compromising patient care; Some features unique to the Airtraq: • Airtraq is comprised of a proprietary Wi-Fi camera, SP Laryngoscope blades, and Avant Laryngoscope blades and Optics; • Airtraq is the only video laryngoscope that uses a non -displacing blade (meaning that it does not displace anatomy), which enables EMS personnel to use it on patients with cervical collars, in traction, those entrapped, or those that cannot get into a sniffing position; and • Airtraq offers a pediatric mode (without an adapter capable), internal recording, and Wi-Fi communication. Airtraq was originally sold by Teleflex, LLC ("Teleflex"), which was approved as the sole distributor under Sole Source No. 18-19-044. As of January 1, 2022, Airtraq is solely manufactured by Prodol Meditec, SA ("Prodol"), a Spanish company with its US Offices at 2414 Lawton Lane, Rowlett, TX 75089.
