The Orange County EMS regulates the paramedic services for Orange County, and has established new standards for EKG testing in the field. As such, the Fire Department is replacing its 10 defibrillators. The ZOLL biphasic 12- lead defibrillator is responsive to the Fire Department and the Fire Authority standards and protocols. The ZOLL model meets the City's need, and staff recommends the purchase of the new ZOLL 12-lead defibrillators. Santa Ana City Ordinance No. NS-2312 authorizes the City to purchase against contracts from any public agency utilizing a competitive bid process.
