The Orange County EMS <br />regulates the paramedic services for Orange County, and has established <br />new standards for EKG testing in the field. As such, the Fire <br />Department is replacing its 10 defibrillators. The ZOLL biphasic 12- <br />lead defibrillator is responsive to the Fire Department and the Fire <br />Authority standards and protocols. The ZOLL model meets the City's <br />need, and staff recommends the purchase of the new ZOLL 12-lead <br />defibrillators. <br /> <br />Santa Ana City Ordinance No. NS-2312 authorizes the City to purchase <br />against contracts from any public agency utilizing a competitive bid <br />process. The City of Newport Beach contract with ZOLL Medical <br />Corporation for 12-lead defibrillators was awarded as a result of open, <br />competitive bidding, and meets the City's requirements. <br /> <br />221-1 <br /> <br />CS 383 <br />
