RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute, on behalf of the Health Services Director, a Purchase Order with Zoll Medical Corporation, in an amount not to exceed $450,000 for the purchase of replacement defibrillators for the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), Intermediate Care Unit (IMCU) and Emergency Room (ER) Departments at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC).

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this purchase order will result in a one-time capital expenditure of up to $450,000 for the purchase of the defibrillators and will be funded 100% by Hospital Enterprise Fund I revenues.

BACKGROUND:

CCRMC has been using Philips defibrillators throughout the hospital for the last twenty years, helping to save the lives of Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) victims. In May 2017, CCRMC was informed by Philips that production and sale of defibrillators would be discontinued effective May 10, 2017, yet support would continue through February 3, 2022. In response to the need for new defibrillators CCRMC received two proposals from two major venders for replacement of the existing units. Zoll Medical Corporation’s R Series ALS units were selected by the Department.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this purchase order is not approved, CCRMC will experience difficulties in supporting patients in the ICU, IMCU and ER units, impacting patient safety and health.
