Agenda Item
Discuss, consider, and take appropriate action on authorizing the purchase of ASL 5000 Ventilator Training Device from Ingmar Medical in the amount of $39,739.00 and authorize the execution of the County Addendum.
Background
The ASL 5000, offered by Ingmar Medical, LLC, is a ventilator training device for EMS staff that simulates respiratory conditions for all ages from infants to adults. This device replicates respiratory issues including those caused by the SARS-COV-2 (COVID) virus. Creating these patient conditions during a training exercise is crucial for EMS staff to use ventilation equipment effectively in a real setting.
The ASL 5000 can be used with any ventilator including the Newport HT70+ ventilator which is used by WCEMS. The training device is designed to improve ventilator knowledge as well as the management of patients requiring mechanical ventilation.
The system offers COVID software modules for specialized training. The unit is used throughout the industry for respiratory equipment development and has FDA approval. One unit can be placed in an ambulance and used to train all Williamson County EMS personnel.
Three (3) quotes were obtained for this type of training device. The ASL 5000 is the superior system in the industry and provides the best functionality and value for the County. John Gonzalez is the point of contact and CARES funds are to be used.
