Fenton City Council unanimously approved a request Monday, Aug. 9 from Fenton Fire Chief Bob Cairnduff to purchase an automated CPR device.
In a memo from Cairnduff to City Manager Lynn Markland, the fire chief explained that the fire department needs to replace its current automated CPR device that is five years old. He said the device is used whenever the fire department responds to a medical emergency and the patient does not have a pulse. The unit is placed on the patient and the machine performs automated chest compressions.
Cairnduff said the fire department has had numerous issues and repairs with the current device, manufactured by Zoll. He said they pulled the current device in March and first responders have reverted to manual CPR.
After researching the devices and obtaining quotes, the fire chief requested that the fire department purchase a LUCAS (Lund University Cardiopulmonary Assist System) 3, v3.1 system, sold by Stryker. The LUCAS device costs $18,985.47, which includes the system and five-year service and maintenance agreement that covers all on-site repairs, preventive maintenance and batter replacement during those five years.
Cairnduff said the quote will also includes a $3,000 trade in value of the current device from Zoll.
