Testing With The i-STAT System Facilitates Real-Time Decisions To Optimize Patient Care and Economic Outcomes.
The i-STAT® System offers a broad menu of tests related to disease state management and clinical practice guidelines. Using just two or three drops of blood, this with-patient diagnostic system provides time-sensitive results in just minutes.
The i-STAT System complements the clinical laboratory’s efforts by providing lab-quality results for the most commonly used tests while improving efficiency throughout the continuum of care.
1 – EASY Operation Helps Eliminate Operator Error and Streamlines Training
Apply a few drops of blood into the cartridge
Insert cartridge into the analyzer
View the results within minutes
Transmit results wirelessly or via hospital network
2- STANDARDIZATION With i-STAT Simplifies POC Program Management in All Locations
Reproducibility and reliability drive consistent, high-quality patient care.
Portable, simple, intuitive; fewer platforms to oversee.
Leverage test menu to gain maximum value from with-patient testing.
Accreditation requirements reduced with minimal documentation needs.
Depend on reliable transfer for results to EMR with one interfaced platform.
Increase efficiency with one device and streamlined number of part numbers.
Reduce downtime and cost.
Device consolidation reducing number of interfaced platforms and service contracts.
3 – CONNECTIVITY Streamlines Result Sharing and Speeds Care Decision-Making
i-STAT and Info HQ provide efficient management of patient data through transmission of patient, operator and software data to the instruments and test results to EMR or data manager.

Critical care departments include a wide range of specialty areas that administer care to many of the hospital’s most critically ill patients. With ICU costs constituting a large portion of total hospital costs, (accounting for 8%-30% of total hospital budget)1, and a patient in bed in an ICU costing the hospital as much as 3 times more than the cost of a bed in a non-icu,2 hospital administrators are challenged daily to help reduce costs. The i-STAT System offers solutions to help achieve these goals.
ED overcrowding puts stress on caregivers and is a major patient safety concern associated with poor patient outcomes.3 Increased ED volume can mean patients face long periods of waiting4 which can be a key obstacle to timely patient treatment and disposition. Having accurate results sooner can accelerate triage and treatment decisions that can help EDs overcome these challenges.
Bedside testing can be a valuable resource that can help improve efficiencies and maintain quality while relieving pressure on the lab. By reducing the number of test requests and call-back procedures, lab staff is freed from routine testing and can focus on more complex, time-consuming tests and high-volume, reference-lab testing. Integrating a POC testing system into lab processes can promote patient-centric care, increase lab efficiency, and help reduce costs.
