Title
Request Approval of Contract: 25C-062 Stryker Lifepak Agreement - Stryker Sales, LLC, Chicago, IL (Budget Impact- Neutral; expenditure of $4,276,722)
Body
INITIATOR: DEPARTMENT:
Susan Olsen, Director Procurement Services
DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
On behalf of Marion County Fire-Rescue (MCFR), Procurement requests approval to purchase the Stryker LP35 monitor/defibrillator device. These devices provide a more comprehensive view of cardiac activity by using a 15-lead ECG which allows EMS providers to identify right-sided and posterior myocardial infarctions (heart attacks). These are often missed with fewer leads as in our current 12-lead ECG model. Early detection leads to better treatment and improved patient outcomes. The LP35 also integrates with the LUCAS mechanical CPR device. The LP35 enhances resuscitation efforts while the LUCAS delivers consistent, uninterrupted, high-quality chest compressions. During use the LP35 synchronizes defibrillation and provides feedback to optimize the resuscitation process. This integration allows EMS teams to focus on other critical interventions while maintaining CPR quality. This increases survival rates and enhances the likelihood of favorable neurological outcomes.
Attached for review is the Purchase Agreement; pending approval at today’s meeting, the agreement will be sent to Stryker Sales for signature and upon return, will be forwarded to Legal, Clerk, and Chairman for signatures.
BUDGET/IMPACT:
Neutral; expected expenditure of $4,276,722. Funds are available in line VJ33526-564101 (Infrast Surtax Cap Proj Fund).
