Cardiac Markers

Abbott i-STAT 1 System Features

Provides a patient-centric approach to health-care accelerating the decision-making by reducing the time to get needed information to the clinicians.

System efficiency is optimized by eliminating process steps and hand-offs to help reducing the incidence of errors and promoting patient safety.

Supports quality and compliance requirements that complement the vital services that laboratory professionals provide to patients and their caregivers.
Leverages the power of a single, integrated bedside testing solution through:

rather than multiple systems and protocols this is a single testing system
lab-quality bedside testing is standardized
a comprehensive menu of tests
easy training, implementation and regulatory requirements
portable, lightweight and easy to use

Positive Patient ID

The Abbott i-STAT 1 System helps ensuring proper patient identification using admission, discharge, and transfer (ADT) information, allowing the i-STAT handheld to display the patient’s name, birth-date, and gender
Promotes compliance with The Joint Commission’s National Patient Safety Goal #1: improve the accuracy of patient identification
Advances patient safety by reducing risk of patient testing errors and adverse events due to patient ID mistakes – shown to occur in 1 of every 18 cases
