Medtronic Physio Control is a sole source provider for maintenance of this equipment. Attached is a price adjustment to the current maintenance contract to add two (2) new cardiac monitors to the maintenance contract. This price adjustment requires an additional $3,731.61 to cover the two (2) additional cardiac monitors for the remainder of the contract which expires on September 29, 2015. Medtronic is the vendor for all of the cardiac monitors and AED's within the Fire Rescue Division. Medtronic Physio -Control is the manufacturer of the LifePak series of cardiac monitors and defibrillators. The sales and service force from Medtronic Physio -Control are direct manufacturer representatives. This critical patient care equipment is very technical in nature and the Department of Emergency Services, Fire Rescue Division must ensure that the equipment is properly maintained and serviced by factory -trained personnel to reduce liability risk. Any malfunction of the Lifepak equipment during life saving operations would jeopardize the assets of the County if litigation should occur.
