5. Rationale.

The Four Corners Regional Health Center Nursing Department has a requirement for an automatic resuscitation device (with training) that will allow patients to be moved throughout a facility and/or be transported to a different facility effectively, efficiently, and most of all safely. The AutoPulses LifeBand manufactured cavity and administers a customized compression due to two load cells that measure

140D0423Q0546 the patient's chest up to 52in. The AutoPulse resuscitation device allows for successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation in tight areas while transporting the patient to a different location. This is due to its design unlike other pistil driven automatic cardiopulmonary resuscitation devices on the market which can stand up to 22in off of the patient's chest. This design allows patients to be able to receive high-quality chest compressions from medical professionals even when confined to tight spaces and while being transported. The shoulder harness and seat belt features allow medical professionals to set patients upright when transporting them up and down steep stairwells and around corridors safely. These features are critical to the Four Corners Regional Health Center Nursing Department as individuals that may require cardiopulmonary resuscitation while at the Center may require transportation to a larger medical facility. This could require moving patients through several corridors.

The quick carry case is also flexible which enables the patient to be twisted and turned while moving the patient in any environment where a stretcher cannot be used. Further research concluded that the AutoPulse system has a Perfusion Performance Indicator, or PPI, that lets the healthcare professional know both the depth and rate of the compressions are within current guidelines. This critical feature could not be found on any other device. All of these equipment features combined allows for no interruption in the blood flow around the patient's body during a medical emergency. Other automatic resuscitation device could not be identified that have these features required by the Four Corners Regional Health Center Nursing Department. Zoll Medical Corporation is the sole manufacturer of this high-level functioning item. The need for the Zoll AutoPulse Resuscitation System is pivotal to the Four Corners Regional Health Center due to its remote area. Competitive procedures that would result in quotes from non-authorized resellers would result in unacceptable delays which could be catastrophic if a medical emergency were to occur without this critical piece of equipment. Zoll Medical Corporation informed the government on 18 July 2023 that After Action Medical and Dental Supply LLC is the only small business authorized government reseller of the required equipment. After Action Medical and Dental Supply LLC can provide the Four Corners Regional Health Center Nursing Department the earliest demonstrations and training on how to utilize this equipment effectively, efficiently, and most of all safely and in the manner that was determined by the manufacturer (Zoll) for patient care without the delays associated with quotes from non-authorized resellers. Because After Action Medical and Dental Supply LLC is the authorized reseller, it commits the manufacturer Zoll to ensure that any malfunctioning parts are replaced immediately, as well as the performance of all recommended preventative maintenance on the AutoPulse Resuscitation System. These services are imperative for the Four Corners Regional Health Center Nursing Department's proficiency in utilizing this life-saving piece of emergency equipment.

6. Market Research.

Market research was completed by the Four Corners Regional Health Center and the Interior Business Center Acquisition Services Directorate resulting in no other CPR machines being identify that meet the requirements of the Four Corners Regional Health Center Nursing Department.
