ACCELERATE ANSWERS. ADVANCE CARE. FOR SUSPECTED ACS, YOUR ED NEEDS ANSWERs AT THE SPEED OF i-STAT
The need to improve cardiac care is more relevant than ever. In today’s ed, the focus must remain on fast, accurate assessment and disposition of patients. FOR SUSPECTED ACS, YOUR ED NEEDS ANSWERS AT THE SPEED OF i-STAT
COMPLEX
Evaluation Poses Diagnostic Challenges
Inclusive of many different complaints that may not be caused by acute myocardial infarction (AMI)
CRITICAL
Rapid Diagnosis of MI is Imperative
Time is muscle; delays can lead to loss of vital heart muscle and function.

THE PATH TO SUCCESS STARTS WITH i-STAT IN YOUR ED
i-STAT cTnI IN THE ED
Integrate i-STAT early in the patient-care pathway.
- Lab-quality Troponin results at the patient's bedside2
- Accelerate care decisions for time-sensitive patients
Hs-cTn IN THE HOSPITAL
Utilize hs-assays for admitted patients.3
- Re-baseline on core laboratory cTn assay for admitted patients
- When multiple platform testing is conducted, it is important to indicate the methodology used on the laboratory report as well as the assay-specific 99th percentile
THE VALUE OF POCT
“Having the test result come back in real time at point of care allows us to make immediate decisions… If I have a positive troponin at triage, I now have identified a patient as high risk and they’re going to go down the MI pathway.”
Dr. W. Frank Peacock
Professor of Emergency Medicine
