Explanation:
The Hollywood Fire Rescue and Beach Safety Department (“Department”) needs to purchase Lucas Devices (CPR machines) to deliver emergency services.
Lucas Devices are easy-to-use mechanical chest compression devices that assist lifesaving teams worldwide. They deliver high-quality and guidelines-consistent chest compressions to sudden cardiac arrest patients. There are several mechanical chest compressors on the market; however, the Lucas Device is the best fit and meets the needs of the Department. The Department has been using these devices since 2016. The Department has instituted the necessary training, and personnel have become proficient in using the devices and experience excellent results. The devices are also compatible with Life-Pak 15s (EKG/defibrillators) and allow compression data to be recorded and reviewed for enhanced Quality Assurance. These devices are part of the City’s cardiac resuscitation plan of action, along with EMS Protocols, the Life-Pak 15 (EKG/defibrillator) units, and the CODESTAT cardiac arrest review software.
Fiscal Impact:
Funding for this Purchase Order was included in the amended FY 2024 Capital Improvement Plan and is available in account number 335.219901.52200.564530.001607.000.000.
