Urgency – The nature of the requirement has been deemed urgent and following competitive procedures would result in unacceptable delays.

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 by Zoll Medical Corporation lays flat and fully wraps around a patient’s entire chest cavity and administers a customized compression due to two load cells that measure 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
