This project provides for the purchase of 81 Stryker LifePak15 heart monitor/defibrillators assigned to Montgomery County Fire and Rescue advanced life support (ALS) transport units, paramedic chase cars, engines, and training facilities. These heart monitor/defibrillators have a useful life of five to eight years and must be replaced to ensure the operability of critical life-saving equipment.

Equipment will be purchased in FY22 and FY23.

Funds are added to complete the replacement of aging heart monitor/defibrillators.

Purchased heart monitor/defibrillators will replace aging units that are approaching the end of their useful life.

FY22 supplemental in Current Revenue: Fire for the amount of $534,000 supported by Emergency Service Transporter Supplemental Payment Program revenue. The project also provides appropriation authority for a purchase funded through the Master Lease program. Debt service for this project will be financed with Consolidated Fire Tax District Funds.
