Advanced point of care analyzers can speed up patient care decision making. The Abbott i-STAT System can provide lab-quality results in diverse healthcare settings such as hospital, emergency department, critical care and laboratory. This point of care blood gas analyzer is portable, and easy to use. It performs a complete panel of tests from a single platform - enabling healthcare providers to more quickly and effectively monitor and manage patients.
This FDA-cleared revolutionary, handheld analyzer provides reliable test results in just minutes, using as little as two drops of blood and a test cartridge making it invaluable in near patient testing applications.
The easy-to-use unit operates with the advanced technology of single-use i-STAT test cartridges. i-STAT System single-use test cartridges are designed to reduce the problems multi-use systems face with poor quality and/or clotted samples. Each unique i-STAT System cartridge contains chemically sensitive biosensors on a silicon chip that are configured for specific analytes. These test cartridges, along with the Precision PCx and PCx Plus glucose test strips, deliver lab-accurate testing for Blood Gases, Electrolytes, Chemistries, Coagulation, Hematology, Glucose, and Cardiac Markers (cTnI).
By providing lab-quality results in minutes, Abbott i-STAT analyzer allows healthcare professionals to quickly respond to specific needs and health conditions at the patient's side. The unit performs faster than bench-top systems and the central lab.
Easy Test Procedure in Four Steps:
- Insert two or three drops of blood into the cartridge
- Close the cartridge and insert into the i-STAT handheld analyzer
- View the results on the handheld screen within minutes
- Upload information automatically into the LIS/HIS
Advanced Quality Features (AQF) help improve compliance, oversight, and control to drive operational excellence. With STATNotes, documentation and testing can be completed simultaneously, streamlining workflow while reducing paperwork and clerical errors. The analyzer also features operator lockout that prevents unauthorized users from performing or viewing test results, and ergonomically designed soft keys for comfort and ease of use. Experienced medical lab equipment suppliers offer refurbished models of this analyzer, often with 90 day parts warranty.
