ZOLL Medical X Series Specifications Thank you for allowing ZOLL Medical Corporation to respond to the bid document distributed by The City of South Bend, IN ZOLL believes that the X Series' Monitor/DefibriHator absolutely meets or exceeds the needs of The City of South Bend. However, it is very clear that the specifications themselves are identical to those of the Physio-Control LIFEPAK 15' and/or L]IFENIET' System and are therefore impossible for any other product to meet. WILL feels that this blatant use of "lockout specs" provided by a single manufacturer violates the spirit and intent of a true bid process. Thus, we respectfully request that you consider the X Series on the merits of its own unique benefits. Designed primarily for EMS operations, the X Series is about half the size and half the weight of competitive full -featured monitor/defibrillators, yet much more powerful and built to the most extensive standards for ruggedness — is the only monitor/defibrillator that offers the following: See-Thru CPR' artifact filtering, allowing rescuers to see underlying rhythms without pausing compressions. Real CPR Help providing real-time rate, depth and release feedback for superior performance when it matters most. In addition, (near) future innovations on the X Series will include: • CPR Ready-Charge'm, a revolutionary technology that will simultaneously filter out CPR artifact and run an advisory algorithm during continuous CPR delivery. Then, if a shock is advised, the X Series will charge itself. All the rescuer will need to do is to stop compressions for only as long as it takes to press the "shock" button. RescueNet LinkTm: without any user intervention, "Sense n' SynCIITM technology allows the X Series, RescueNet electronic patient care reporting (ePCR) and RescueNet Navigator vehicle mapping to automatically upload critical information in real-time to a large vehicle display to help you provide the best possible care. This same information, can also be simultaneously viewed by the ED staff in real-time, allowing them to be fullly prepared for your arrival. Real-time, Integrated Operation with AutoPulse': X Series also has the ability to communicate in real-time with the revolutionary AutoPulse automated CPR device. The, key benefits of this system are: — Shock Timing: The system automatically times, shock delivery to the beginning of the relaxation phase. This is the most advantageous point of the compression/relaxation cycle, which maximizes the likelihood of shock success. — Continuous Compression Shock: The AutoPulse continues to compress while the X Series delivers a shock, keeping pause/no-flow time to an absolute minimum. The devices are optimally coordinated to ensure the most effective operation of each and consistent circulatory support during treatment,
