Global Point of Care
Today, critical care departments such as the Intensive Care (ICU), Cardiovascular ICU (CICU), Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), and Coronary Care Unit are being shaped by the need to meet established goal-directed therapy, vent weaning and patient safety protocols. Additional issues associated with critical care include blood loss and the need to reduce patient length of stay (LOS) and costs from delays and prolonged treatments.
The i-STAT System provides clinicians with greater control over patient management by providing lab-quality results in minutes. Additionally, quality checks of sample integrity, sensors, and fluidics are automatic with each i-STAT single-use test cartridge, providing confidence and advanced performance.

In this intense environment that healthcare professionals are currently facing, the primary focus for many hospitals has become:
The i-STAT System requires only two to three drops of blood to deliver lab-quality results. This is vital in the Neonatal Itensive Care Unit (NICU) where babies can lose up to 15% of their total circulating blood volume during a two-week stay in the NICU -- blood that will not be quickly replaced by immature neonatal bone marrow.1
i-STAT can significantly reduce blood requirements by:
With a broad menu of tests on a single bedside platform, i-STAT can help reduce process inefficiencies, improve hospital supply/PPE utilization, and enhance protection for patients and staff.

"Any time our care team members enter or exit the COVID-19 ICU, it increases risk of cross contamination and uses another set of PPE. So every test that can be run at the point of care, we do."
