MEMORANDUM
To: Melanie Hardin, Assistant Purchasing Agent
From: James R. Thomason, Assistant Fire Chie~%~
Date: June 16, 1992
THUMPER MECHANICAL CPR DEVICE
The Fire Department has been using the "Thumper" mechanical CPR
device for approximately twelve years as a secondary aid device in
CPR situations.
The Thumper performs mechanical cardiopulmonary resuscitation while
providing the patient with 100% oxygen.
We originally chose the "Thumper" brand due to ease of operation
and reliability because of the distances our MICU's had to travel
and often with only one paramedic to the patient.
We feel the "Thumper" is still the best on the Market. Michigan
Instruments no longer sells the Thumper through retail outlets but
rather through the parent company making them a single source
supplier.
