Analysis
The Fire Department's Power Pro Stretchers and Power Load Systems, Lucas 2 Mechanical Chest Compression systems and LifePak defibrillators are Stryker brand products.
In 2014 implementation of the Power Load System began during the stretcher replacement process. The Power Load System, in conjunction with the Power Pro Stretchers, is an automatic stretcher loading system designed to reduce back injuries. Currently the department has 13 Power Pro Stretchers and 14 Power Load Systems.
In 2016 City Council approved the purchase of 8 Lucas 2 Mechanical Chest Compression systems from sole source provider Medtronics/Physio-Control. Physio-Control was later purchased by Stryker. The Lucas 2 Mechanical Chest Compression systems provide high quality consistent and continuous compressions to patients in cardiac arrest, while allowing the medic to be available to perform other time sensitive tasks.
The Fire Department currently utilizes LifePak defibrillators from Stryker (formerly Physio-Control, Inc.) for the entirety of its fleet. LifePaks are portable equipment that act as vitals monitors, defibrillators, and guides during CPR.
The inspection and preventative maintenance and firmware updates on this equipment is necessary to ensure proper and safe functionality for medics and patients. This contract would include one inspection and maintenance on each piece of equipment annually.
Local Government Code Chapter 252 provides an exemption from the competitive bid process when an item or service is available from only one source. Stryker’s Medical division is the sole provider of maintenance and repair parts for Stryker’s Emergency Care products.
