INTER-DEPARTMENTAL
Date: August 19, 2024
To: Public Safety Committee
From: Chief Keith Mankel V
RE: Police Department Request to Purchase Second Lucas System
The Walker Police Department is requesting to purchase a second Lucas Chest Compression
System from Stryker. The Lucas Chest Compression System is a high-quality chest compression
system that is used on cardiac arrest patients and for resuscitation. The Lucas device will
increase the patient’s chance by providing consistent CPR and increase blood ?ow to the brain.
Page 4 of 6
The device has been on the road 24/7 since it went into service January 9, 2024. With the cities
substantial area and geography, it makes since to having two devices, one in the northern end and
one in the southern end of the city. This year we have had 15 cardiac arrest calls. Out of the 15
calls the patient was shocked by an AED 6 times and the Lucas Chest Compression System was
used 12 times. We have administered Naloxone 3 times during these events and have saved one
life and trying to con?rm a second life being saved using the device.
Stiyker is going to honor the original quote price from the ?rst unit we purchased so the total
cost is $22,200.21. I would recommend again using the National Opioid Settlement Funds to pay
for the purchase. The purchase of the Lucas Chest Compression System does ?t in with the
remediation uses under the Schedule B-Approved Uses for treatment; to provide the full
continuum of care of treatment and recovery services for Opioid Use Disorder, purchase
automated versions and technology that helps in the screening, intervention, and treatment of
patients, support the work of the Emergency Medical System, and support the efforts to prevent
or reduce overdose deaths or other opioid-related harms.
The City of Walker currently has $35,600 (Fund 284) under the settlement fund and will
continue to receive disbursements on an annual basis that can be used for ongoing costs.
