STREAMLINE TESTING.
STANDARDIZE QUALITY CARE.

i‑STAT empowers your critical care team to scale capacity, improve patient care and help ensure staff safety.

Bedside testing with the i-STAT System does more than accelerate answers. Today, critical care areas such as the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit (CVICU) are being shaped by the need to establish goal-directed therapy, vent weaning and patient safety protocols. Key challenges facing critical care units include the need to reduce patient length of stay (LOS) while reducing costs and staff turnover. The i‑STAT System provides clinicians the ability to minimize testing-process inefficiencies while providing lab-quality results at the patient bedside in minutes.

Using just two to three drops of blood, the i‑STAT System analyzes the patient sample with minimal steps – reducing the traditional pre-analytical steps to just one.

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.

expanding capacity

Informs critical decisions at the patient's bedside
- Promotes collaborative, patient-centric care
- Enables rapid treatment decisions
- Reduces vent weaning time

conserving resources

Reduces complex steps and streamlines workflow
Optimizes resource utilization, including PPE conservation
Provides portability and flexibility
- Helps meet surge demand
- Enables use in non-traditional ICU settings

maintaining safety

Offers excellent precision and lab-quality results
Reduces risk of sample handling errors
Supports infection prevention
- Decreases travel between areas of the hospital
- Simple disinfection protocol and singile-use cartidges

"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."

Aligns with CDC recommendations stating that whenever possible, perform procedures/tests in the patient's room.³
- Helps meet surge demand, even during peak times
- Enables use in non-traditional ICU settings
- Drives efficiency and PPE conservation
Helps reduce infection risk
- Eliminates sample transport throughout the hospital
- Limits exposure to potentially infectious bodily fluids during testing
Facilitates reduction in time on mechanical ventilation and associated risks
