    i-STAT Crea Cartridge

    Rapid creatinine testing for renal function assessment and pre-imaging screening


    Product overview

    The i-STAT Crea cartridge provides quantitative creatinine results in approximately two minutes from a whole blood sample. Creatinine is the primary marker for assessing kidney function, and elevated levels indicate reduced glomerular filtration rate or urinary obstruction. The cartridge has demonstrated excellent correlation (R-squared = 0.99) with central laboratory methods.


    Expand your point-of-care testing capacity with refurbished i-STAT analyzers

    If your facility relies on the Abbott i-STAT system for point-of-care testing, Block Scientific can help you increase your testing capacity at a fraction of the cost of buying new. The Abbott i-STAT is one of Block Scientific's Centers of Excellence analyzers, which means we carry deep inventory, provide factory-level refurbishment, and back every unit with comprehensive service and support.


    Adding refurbished i-STAT 1 or i-STAT Alinity instruments to your fleet lets you deploy more analyzers across departments, satellite locations, or mobile units without the capital outlay of purchasing new. Every refurbished i-STAT from Block Scientific is thoroughly tested, calibrated, and verified to meet original manufacturer specifications before it ships.


    And when you bundle your cartridge and consumable orders with refurbished instrumentation, you get the best possible pricing on both. Complete the form on this page and your local sales rep will contact you to discuss your application.


    Clinical applications

    One of the most common use cases is pre-imaging screening. Contrast agents used in CT scans and other radiological procedures can pose serious health risks to patients with impaired kidney function. Creatinine testing before imaging ensures patients can safely receive contrast. Because central lab creatinine results can take hours, the i-STAT Crea test minimizes scheduling disruptions and delays. Also used for monitoring renal dialysis patients and diagnosing renal disease.


    What does the i-STAT Crea Cartridge measure?

    Category: Chemistries / Electrolytes

    • Creatinine (Crea)

    Intended use

    Intended for use in the in vitro quantification of creatinine in whole blood samples. Creatinine measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of renal diseases, in monitoring renal dialysis, and as a calculation basis for measuring other urine analytes.


    Frequently Asked Questions

    Contrast agents used in CT, MRI, and angiography can damage the kidneys, especially in patients who already have reduced renal function. A quick creatinine test before the procedure confirms the patient can safely receive the contrast agent without risking contrast-induced nephropathy.

    Yes, the Crea cartridge is CLIA waived when used with venous whole blood collected in lithium heparin evacuated tubes on the i-STAT 1 System. Arterial, capillary, or other venous samples fall under moderate complexity.

    How does i-STAT creatinine accuracy compare to the central lab?

    Published studies have shown an R-squared of 0.99 when comparing i-STAT creatinine values to central laboratory methods, indicating excellent agreement.
