Why Choose This Abbott I-Stat ABG Analyzer?

Waiting for central lab results is slowing down clinical decisions: The Abbott i-STAT brings selected testing closer to the patient, with many tests delivering results within minutes instead of requiring the sample to be sent to a central laboratory.
Running an urgent care, surgery centre, or radiology unit: A single i-STAT handheld blood analyzer can support different testing requirements through its cartridge menu, including chemistry, blood gas, electrolytes, cardiac markers, and coagulation testing.
Need cardiac marker results during a suspected cardiac event: Available i-STAT cartridges can provide tests such as troponin I, BNP, and CK-MB, with turnaround time depending on the specific cartridge and test.
Monitoring patients who require anticoagulation testing: Cartridge options for PT/INR and ACT can provide point-of-care coagulation results where these tests are clinically required.
Want to reduce manual result entry: With a compatible LIS/HIS setup, test results can be transferred electronically, helping reduce the need to manually re-enter point-of-care results into the hospital system.
Comparing an Abbott blood gas analyzer with conventional laboratory testing: Look beyond the purchase price when evaluating the Abbott i-STAT price. For time-sensitive testing, also consider sample transport, laboratory turnaround time, staffing, and the clinical value of having results available closer to the patient.

Key-Features of Abbott I-Stat Blood Gas Analyzer

Handheld i-STAT blood analyzer: Compact point-of-care testing system without the need for a conventional benchtop analyzer
Small sample requirement: Uses only a small blood sample, with many tests requiring just a few drops
Rapid results: Many chemistry and blood gas tests can provide results within minutes
Multi-test cartridge platform: Supports a range of testing needs through different cartridges
Blood chemistry testing: Available cartridges can test parameters such as glucose, urea, creatinine, and other chemistry analytes depending on the cartridge
Blood gas analysis: Supports testing of important blood gas parameters such as pH, pCO₂, and pO₂, depending on the cartridge
Electrolyte testing: Cartridge options can include electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, and ionized calcium
Hematology testing: Certain cartridges provide hematocrit and related parameters
Cardiac marker testing: Available cartridge options include tests such as troponin I, BNP, and CK-MB, with turnaround depending on the specific test
Coagulation testing: Cartridge options include PT/INR, Celite ACT, and Kaolin ACT for applicable anticoagulation monitoring
Simple testing workflow: Add the sample to the cartridge, insert it into the handheld, review the result, and transfer data where the system is connected
LIS/HIS connectivity: Compatible configurations can transfer results to hospital information systems, helping reduce manual data entry
Point-of-care testing: Useful when clinical teams need laboratory information close to the patient rather than waiting for central laboratory processing
Portable design: Suitable for departments and locations where moving a larger laboratory analyzer is not practical
Complete system options: Depending on the package, the system can include the handheld analyzer, printer, simulator, downloader, and user documentation
Multiple clinical applications: Can be used across emergency care, surgery, critical care, radiology/imaging, oncology, family practice, and other point-of-care settings
CLIA Waived status: Select i-STAT 1 cartridges have CLIA Waived status in applicable US settings; regulatory status and available tests should be verified for the intended market
