ITEM 9:
CONSIDERATION AND APPROPRIATE ACTION RELATING TO A
REQUEST FOR THE PURCHASE OF THREE AUTOMATIC EXTERNAL
DEFIBRILLATORS AND ONE LIFEPAK 10.
Chief Allen said that the fire department has recently received approval from the Oklahoma state
Department of Health for the utilization of Automatic External Defibrillators, a device for
treating and reversing lethal cardiac dysrythmias. This piece of equipment is fully automatic and
is able to make a diagnosis. Two defibrilliators will be placed in the two ambulances and one
will be assigned to the department's rescue vehicle. The "Life Pak 10" will be placed in the
"second out" ambulance. Bid specifications were prepared and sent to four vendors, with bids
being received from two. $15,000 was appropriated in the 1997-98 budget for the equipment
purchase, and the $1421 over the budgeted amount will reduce the appropriation for a new
ambulance by that amount. Mr Wilken moved, seconded by Dr Standridge, to award a contract
to Physio-Control, Redmond, W A, for the purchase of three Automatic External Defibrillators
and one Lifepak 10, at a cost $16,421; and authorization for payment.
