i-STAT cTnI Cartridge
Providing lab-quality results fast when every minute counts.
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.
Benefits
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.
- 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 lab.6
- Provides lab-quality results,2 which can improve which can improve risk stratification of ACS (acute coronary syndrome).
- The 2018 Third Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction recognizes troponin as the biomarker of choice.3
- Use of bedside testing in the ED has been shown to reduce:
- Time to anti-ischemic therapy by approximately 45 minutes5
- Time to discharge by 24 minutes1
- ED length of stay by 1.9 hours5

SPECIFICATIONS
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.
- DESCRIPTION: Rapid triage of chest pain patients, including those with ACS
- SAMPLE SIZE: 17μL
- SAMPLE TYPE:
- Heparinized whole blood or plasma samples collected in syringes or evacuated tubes containing lithium heparin, or
- Non-heparinized whole blood samples tested within one minute of drawing from a patient into a plastic syringe or plastic evacuated tube containing no additives
