(Approved by Public Safety Committee January 9, 2018) Background:The current ambulances have stretchers that are antiquated Stryker manual stretchers. There is significant increased risk of injury to our Fire Department staff in manually lifting patients in and out of ambulances when transporting patients. Upgrading to the PowerLoad Stretcher systems will make EMS incidents safe for patients and crews by decreasing the risk of injury. The PoweLoad systems lift and lower cots in and out of the truck hydraulically, reducing the load on provider's backs and their risk of getting hurt and reducing risk of injury to patients. Analysis:Stryker Medical is the vendor Augusta currently uses as a provider of ambulance stretchers. The risk of injury involved with Fire Department personnel is greater when manually lifting patients on cots in and out of trucks, rather than the patient and cot being lifted hydraulically into the truck. The cost of a single injury to Fire Department personnel caused by lifting a patient can be substantial. A mishap when manually lifting a patient in and out of the truck can cause injury to the patient. In using the PowerLoad Stretcher, the risk of injury to personnel and patients are greatly reduced. Financial Impact:$78,838.88 Alternatives:Continue to use the manual stretchers and have a greater risk of injury to firefighters and patients. Recommendation:Approve the purchase of two (2) Stryker Medical PowerLoad Stretcher systems at a cost of $78,838.88.Cover Memo Funds are Available in the Following Accounts: 274034110-5426120 REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY: Finance.
