Global Point of Care
i-STAT CG8+ Cartridge
Providing lab-quality results fast when every minute counts.
Na, K, Hct, Glu, iCa, and Blood Gas results in ≈2 minutes

Benefits
The i-STAT CG8+ cartridge is a unique combination assay with simultaneous rapid measurement of blood chemistries, gases, and hematology parameters. The cartridge provides chemistries that are important in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with hypertension, dehydration, cardiac distress, renal impairment, hypoglycemia, and dysfunction of enzymatic membrane transport at a cellular level. It also provides quantitative hematocrit and blood gas results to assess blood oxygenation and respiratory status.
