REAL-TIME, LAB-QUALITY RESULTS IN MINUTES

THE i‑STAT SYSTEM DELIVERS DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND RECORD-KEEPING IN FOUR EASY STEPS, IDEAL FOR USE IN HEALTH CARE LOCATIONS WHERE IT MAY BE DIFFICULT TO GET SAMPLES TO THE CORE LAB

The i-STAT System can help labs meet the demands of and maintain compliance with laboratory regulations, while also increasing efficiency and productivity in the time required to collect, process, and report results. The i-STAT System can't replace the lab; rather, it complements the lab's efforts by providing lab-quality results at the patient's side

UNDERSTAFFED LABS STRAINED BY HIGHER TEST VOLUME

 

EXPANDED TESTING CAPACITY

  • Reduce exposure

  • Alleviate burden on the lab

  • Conserve lab resources for an increase in testing volume and COVID-19 diagnoses
LAB SPECIMEN HAND-OFFS & TRANSPORT ADDS RISK TO CARE TEAMS AND PATIENTS

LAB SAFETY TESTING
 

  • Minimize movement of materials and personnel throughout the hospital or between care centers

  • Minimize sample handling

  • Reduce entry and exit from infectious disease/isolation units to minimize PPE utilization
COVID-19 PATIENTS NEED FREQUENT MONITORING TO ASSESS STATUS CHANGES

DIAGNOSTIC TEST USE MODELS

  • Access timely lab results to monitor and assess patient status across ICU and stable COVID-19 positive patients

results with benchtop analyzer

results faster than benchtops

  • The i-STAT System has been shown to deliver lab-quality results significantly quicker than benchtop systems.1
  • The i-STAT System offers 24/7 with-patient testing, avoiding delays seen with benchtop systems, such as transport, human distractions, maintenance, and calibration.2
  • Results from a UK study* showed the i-STAT System to be significantly quicker than two benchtop analyzers1

*study focus was to compare time to obtain a lactate test result.

KEY i-STAT TEST CARTRIDGES

  • Provide fast results which can assist in the early identification of deteriorating health in patients and can help to identify patients that are critically ill
  • Single-use, self-contained cartridges to reduce infection risk by limiting exposure

The i-STAT System is designed to meet laboratory accrediting organizations (and CLIA) requirements for with-patient testing.

Adoption of with-patient testing can help alleviate pressure on lab technicians by reducing the amount of test requests and telephone call-back procedures, thereby freeing them to focus on other more complex testing.
