The easy-to-use i-STAT handheld operates with the advanced technology of single-use i-STAT test cartridges. Together, they create the i-STAT System*—a point-of-care (POC) system that provides lab-quality results in minutes and allows health care professionals to quickly respond to needs and conditions at the patient's side.
*Refer to the i-STAT 1 System Manual for precautions, limitations, and hazards.
A truly portable with-patient device, the i-STAT handheld increases efficiency and productivity by reducing the time and labor required to collect, process, and report results. Unlike multi-use systems, the i-STAT handheld is ready to use around the clock with no downtime for calibration or consumables. The i-STAT handheld's screen prompts users with step-by-step instructions during the entire testing process.
Insert two or three drops of blood into the cartridge.
Close the cartridge and insert into the i-STAT handheld.
View the results on the handheld screen within minutes.
Upload information automatically into the LIS/HIS.
The i-STAT System has been shown to deliver lab-quality results significantly quicker than both bench-top systems and the central laboratory.1,2
The i-STAT System offers 24/7 with-patient testing, avoiding delays seen with bench-top systems, such as transport, human distractions, maintenance, and calibration.
Results from two large UK hospitals showed i-STAT to be significantly quicker than two separate bench-top analyzers as well as the central laboratory.1,2
The i-STAT System allows health care teams to stay with-patient during testing to deliver collaborative, patient-centred care. The system drives performance and efficiency at each stage of the patient journey, from the time spent waiting to be seen through to treatment, discharge or admission.
Discover how the i-STAT System can provide lab-quality results in your healthcare setting.
The i-STAT Wireless allows you to maximise efficiency in POC testing scenarios. With the i-STAT Wireless, you can perform diagnostic tests and upload results to your EMR automatically from many patient care areas. The
i-STAT Wireless integrates with your existing i-STAT System data manager and is compatible with 802.11b/802.11g wireless networks. It does not require communication via Bluetooth.
