The purpose of this grant request is to provide additional access to a simple, but important tool. The cost of the grant is for the purchase of 4 Masimo RAD-57 Handheld Pulse CO-Oximeter’s at $5,675.00 per device plus 4 carrying cases at $65.00 each. The RAD-57 monitor will be used to assess if a firefighter has been exposed to carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning by providing readings of oxygen and CO in their blood stream. The RAD-57 will also help eliminate the risk of misdiagnosing unsuspected CO poisoning as flu or fatigue for homeowners that may have been exposed to carbon monoxide poisoning. The device uses a noninvasive measurement for the patient and provides an immediate reading to help determine if an exposure has taken place. LFD responds to numerous suspected carbon monoxide (CO) incidents in Lakeville homes, without a CO-Oximeter it is difficult to confirm suspected cases of CO poisoning. National Fire Protection Association’s (NFPA) fire rehab policy requires a medical evaluation/screening process to examine firefighters on a fireground scene for signs of overexertion and/or heat stress, assess its severity and then provide proper rehabilitation measures so the firefighter can return to duty in optimal condition. We are currently unable to provide a key element of firefighter rehab since we have no way to detect possible CO poisoning. The RAD-57 units would allow LFD to meet the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 1584 and the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation’s Life Safety Initiative #8, which calls for utilizing available technology wherever it can produce higher levels of health and safety. One of Lakeville Fire Department’s goals is to provide the best possible customer service to the citizens within our response area. Acquisition of these units would present our crews with a means to identify and verify the type of incident we are dealing with. The RAD-57’s would identify elevated levels of CO to be treated as soon as possible for patients and our firefighters. The units will be placed on the frontline engines that respond to all CO incidents with someone feeling ill and also respond to any fire in the our response area.
