Zoll Zenix Series Advanced Defibrillators Brand Name or Equal

STATEMENT OF NEED Zoll Zenix Series Advanced Defibrillators INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND: Wilmington VAMC requires modern, reliable hospital defibrillator/monitors to support advanced resuscitation and patient transport within the facility. The ZOLL Zenix platform (or equal) provides multi-parameter monitoring, defibrillation, pacing, CPR feedback, and data integration capabilities required for patient care. The following is being requested to be utilized by our two Rapid Response Teams in ICU and ED to respond to any code alerts within the main bldg. and outside bldg. areas. As of right now our outside bldgs. only have the capability to support AED only. With the Zoll Zenix series this is particularly suited for more advanced life support situation, and the compact size and weight make it easy for our Rapid Response Team to transport. Currently we have Zoll brand defibrillators R series on our emergency crash carts and all the necessary supplies which staff are already trained on. The Zoll Zenix has the same defib connection pads as our R series. PRODUCT/SPECIFICATIONS: SCOPE: The Department of Veterans Affairs, Wilmington VA Medical Center requests a brand name or equal procurement for the purchase of new Zoll Zenix Series Advanced Monitor/Defibrillator because it meets our needs for enhancing patient safety, accessibility, portability, and advanced monitoring capabilities.
