The fully automated I-STAT System offers a broad menu of tests for diagnostic and treatment indicators related to disease state management and clinical practice guidelines. Using just 2 or 3 drops of blood, the system provides time-sensitive tests at the patient’s bedside in just minutes.

Benefits of the I-stat system :

• Supports a patient-centric approach to healthcare that accelerates patient care decision-making by reducing the time to get needed information to the clinicians
•  Optimizes system efficiency by eliminating process steps and handoffs to help reduce the incidence of errors and promote patient safety
•  Supports quality and compliance requirements that complement the vital services that laboratory professionals provide to patients and their caregivers
