i-STAT Handheld

An advanced, easy-to-use blood analyzer that provides healthcare professionals with access to real time, lab-quality results within minutes rather than hours

Make Critical Decisions with a single testing solution

The i-STAT handheld operates with the advanced technology of single-use i-STAT test cartridges. Together, they create the i-STAT System*—a blood analysis system that provides health care professionals with the information they need to rapidly make treatment decisions, which may lead to enhanced quality of care and improved system efficiency.

*Refer to the i-STAT 1 System Manual for precautions, limitations, and hazards

how it works

Results in 4 easy steps

Patient-side testing with the i-STAT System is as easy as inserting 2 or 3 drops of blood into the cartridge, inserting the cartridge into the handheld, and then viewing test results in as little as 2 minutes for most cartridges. Test results are uploaded automatically, delivered wirelessly with the i-STAT Wireless or directly when the i-STAT handheld is placed in a downloader. The i-STAT System eliminates process steps and handoffs to help reduce the incidence of errors and promote patient safety.
