All remaining Automated External Defibrillators (AED) will be replaced with state-of-the-art rectilinear biphasic wave forms technology that meets or exceeds American Heart Association 2015 Recommendations. General Requirement: The vendor must be able to supply the government with trade-in discount for the current CPR Plus equipment utilized at the Overton Brooks VA Medical Center. Once the replacement defibrillators arrive at the Medical Center the units will be checked into inventory and receive biomedical inspection prior to be placed into clinical areas. When the above steps are completed the outdated units will be replaced in a coordinated manner with the new units. In-service training will be performed in both classroom and clinical settings. The new defibrillators will replace the existing outdated units in the clinical areas now in use. Electronic training aids will be made available to staff. Owner s manuals will be provided to end users. Place of Performance: Overton Brooks VA Medical Center 510 E.
