Equipment to be serviced is one manual cot, three Power-Loads, nine Power Cots, nine LifePak15 monitors and eight LUCAS devices. Maintenance contract will include annual preventive maintenance inspections, parts, labor, travel, unscheduled service and product equipment checklists, battery replacements, and software updates, and other services.
