Cardiac Troponin I (cTnI)

cTnI - INTENDED USE
The i-STAT cardiac troponin I (cTnI) test is an in vitro diagnostic test for the quantitative measurement of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) in whole blood or plasma. Measurements of cardiac troponin I are used in the diagnosis and treatment of myocardial infarction and as an aid in the risk stratification of patients with acute coronary syndromes with respect to their relative risk of mortality.
The i-STAT cTnI cartridge meets the ACC/AHA guideline of 60-minute turnaround time 98% of the time, compared with 53% for the central lab1
Provides lab-quality results,2 which can improve adoption of serial cardiac marker testing
The 2012 Third Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction recognizes troponin as the biomarker of choice3
Use of bedside testing in the ED has been shown to reduce:
  • time to anti-ischemic therapy by approximately 45 minutes4
  • time to discharge by 24 minutes1
  • ED length of stay by 1.9 hours5

About cTnI

With i-STAT cardiac troponin I (cTnI), healthcare professionals can obtain quantitative measurement of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) in ten minutes without leaving the patient's side. By incorporating i-STAT cTnI early in the patient experience, measurements of cardiac troponin I can improve diagnosis and treatment of myocardial infarction (MI) and aid in the risk stratification of patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) with respect to their relative risk of mortality.

Watch this short patient testimonial featuring George Hertner, MD, FACEM to see how process efficiencies achieved with i-STAT cTnI helped improve a particular patient’s care in his Emergency Department.
