This Manual
This manual describes the i-STAT 1 Analyzer and the Central Data Station software. Related sections are grouped behind tabs.
Intended Use
The i-STAT 1 Analyzer is intended for use with i-STAT cartridges for the in vitro quantification of various analytes in whole blood. Analyzers and cartridges should be used by healthcare professionals trained and certified to use the system and should be used according to the facility’s policies and procedures. The i-STAT System is for in vitro diagnostics use. Caution: Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a licensed practitioner.
Overview of the i-STAT System
The i-STAT System incorporates a comprehensive group of components needed to perform blood analysis at the point of care. A portable handheld analyzer, a cartridge with the required tests, and 2-3 drops of blood will allow the caregiver to view quantitative test results for blood gas, chemistry and coagulation tests in approximately two minutes. Portable printers and infrared communication devices allow all patient information obtained at the bedside to be printed on demand and transmitted to centralized information systems for record keeping and billing. The Central Data Station program provides system management tools including real-time monitoring of testing and operator competency.

Components
The i-STAT System consists of: i-STAT Cartridges i-STAT 1 Analyzer Portable Printer Quality Assurance Materials • • •
Electronic Simulator Control Solutions Calibration Verification Set (for cartridges)
Data Management System • • •
i-STAT 1 Downloader i-STAT 1 Downloader/Recharger Data Manager
Central Data Station (data management software for cartridges) Data Manager Printer LIS/HIS Interface Software Selection of Components
The selection of system components is dependent on factors unique to each facility such as: Types of tests to be performed Number of testing sites Number of tests per site System administration requirements
Summary of the Procedure
1-2
To perform cartridge testing, the operator fills a cartridge with sample, seals the cartridge with its snap closure, and inserts the cartridge into the analyzer. Inserting the cartridge activates the analyzer. Alternatively, the cartridge test cycle can be initiated from the keypad/menu system. The unit-use cartridge contains all components to perform one or more tests including: calibrating solution, sample handling system, sensors and reagents. The analyzer automatically controls all steps in the testing cycle, which may include: fluid movement, reagent mixing, calibration and thermal control. Quality checks are performed continuously throughout the test cycle. Operator and patient IDs and patient chart information can be entered. When the test cycle is completed, results are displayed and the test record is stored.
Art: 714363-01Y
Rev. Date: 25-AUG-19
Data Management
Test records can be transmitted to the Data Manager where they can be printed and/or transmitted to the Laboratory Information System or Hospital Information System. An optional portable printer enables the operator to print results at the point of care.
Interfacing
The Data Manager can be interfaced to a Laboratory Information System (LIS) or Hospital Information System (HIS) to automate billing and patient record keeping.
Note Regarding System Reliability
The i-STAT System automatically runs a comprehensive set of quality checks of analyzer and cartridge performance each time a sample is tested. This internal quality system will suppress results if the analyzer or cartridge does not meet certain internal specifications (see Quality Control section in System Manual for detailed information). To minimize the probability of delivering a result with medically significant error the internal specifications are very stringent. It is typical for the system to suppress a very small percentage of results in normal operation given the stringency of these specifications. If however the analyzer or cartridges have been compromised, results may be persistently suppressed, and one or the other must be replaced to restore normal operating conditions. Where unavailability of results while awaiting replacement of analyzers or cartridges is unacceptable, Abbott Point of Care Inc. recommends maintaining both a backup i-STAT System analyzer and cartridges from an alternate lot number.

i-STAT 1 ANALYZER
2
INTRODUCTION The i-STAT 1 Analyzer is used in conjunction with i-STAT cartridges for the simultaneous quantitative determination of specific analytes in whole blood. Refer to the Cartridge and Test Information section of this manual for information on analytes that can be measured using i-STAT cartridges.
BEFORE YOU USE THE ANALYZER Install Batteries
See the Care of the Analyzer section in this manual for the procedure to install the disposable batteries. If a rechargeable battery is to be used, the disposable batteries can be used while the rechargeable battery pack is charged in the Downloader/Recharger. Charge rechargeable batteries fully before use. See the i-STAT 1 Downloader section for this procedure. When using a rechargeable battery, store the disposable battery carrier for possible future use.
Check Date and Time Press the On/Off key and check that the date and time at the top of the display are correct. To change the date and time, see Administration Menu in this section. Check Software
Caution: New analyzers or analyzers that have been repaired and returned or replaced will have standard CLEW and application software. If a different CLEW and/ or application software is in use in your facility, it must be installed in new, repaired or replaced analyzers before they are put into use. Check the Analyzer Status page for the installed CLEW and application software. See under “Standardization and Calibration” in section 3 of this manual for an explanation of CLEW.
Customization
Analyzers can be customized for many site-specific testing requirements. See the Customization section for a list of customizable parameters and their default values. To change the customization profile via the analyzer keypad see “Customization” under “Administration” in this section of the manual. To change the customization profile via the Central Data Station, see the “Customization Workspace” in the Central Data section of this manual. Caution: New analyzers or analyzers that have been repaired and returned or replaced will have the factory default settings in the customization profile, as indicated by the DEFAULT0 on the Analyzer Status page. If analyzers in your facility do not use the default customization profile, the appropriate customization profile should be installed before a new, repaired or replaced analyzer is put into use.
Perform Quality Check
Use the Electronic Simulator to verify the cartridge-reading performance of new or repaired analyzers. Use QC protocols to verify the test strip-reading performance of new or repaired analyzers.

Software
All analyzer functions are controlled by application software that can be updated as additional tests and features are developed. Coefficients used to maintain the accuracy of cartridge results over time are programmed into the analyzer via CLEW software updates every six months. See under “Standardization and Calibration” in section 3 of this manual for an explanation of CLEW.
Power
There are two power options for the analyzer: disposable and rechargeable. The analyzer is shipped with a batter carrier for use with two disposable 9-volt lithium batteries. Lithium batteries may be ordered from i-STAT or obtained locally. ULTRALIFE lithium batteries (ULTRALIFE Batteries, Inc., Newark, NY, USA) are recommended. Only i-STAT rechargeable batteries may be used.
Battery Compartment
The battery compartment is located at the display end of the analyzer next to the laser barcode scanner window. The procedure for changing disposable and rechargeable batteries can be found in the Routine Care of the Analyzer and Downloader section of this manual.

Art: 714364-01R
Rev. Date: 29-MAR-19
Disposable Batteries The analyzer requires two 9-volt lithium batteries. The lifetime for a set of batteries is mainly dependent on the mix of cartridges in use. Cartridges that require thermal control consume more energy because of heating. Coagulation and immunoassay cartridges consume more energy because of the longer test cycle. A minimum of 400 thermally controlled cartridge uses, about 100 coagulation cartridges, or 50 immunoassay cartridges can be expected before replacement is necessary. Backlighting, if used continuously, may reduce battery life up to 50%. Extensive laser scanning will affect battery life slightly. The lithium batteries should be removed from the analyzer when long periods, such as six months, of no use are anticipated. Rechargeable Battery
The analyzer can be powered by a nickel-metal-hydride rechargeable battery. The battery capacity for one full charge is 30% (minimum) of the capacity of one set of disposable lithium batteries (see above). If the analyzer is not in use, batteries will lose approximately 10-30% of their charge over 30 days if not recharged. Store rechargeable batteries in a cool dry place when not in use. The battery recharges when the analyzer is placed in a Downloader/Recharger. The battery pack can be removed from the analyzer and placed in the separate recharging compartment on the Downloader/Recharger. Full recharge from a discharged state takes approximately 40 hours. The analyzer will display “Low Battery” when battery recharge is needed. Caution:
Low Battery Warning
Art: 714364-01R
Do not short circuit, incinerate or mutilate the recharegable batteries.
The analyzer will display “Low Battery” when the On/Off key is pressed. Additionally, a flashing battery icon will display on the results screens, as well as the Test Menu and Administration Menu screens when battery replacement is needed. Data is not lost when batteries are fully discharged.

Additional Power
A lithium battery inside the analyzer maintains the clock/calendar and customization profile. This battery should last seven years.
Cartridge Port
Cartridges and the Electronic Simulator are inserted into the analyzer through the cartridge port on the keypad end of the analyzer. Unless the analyzer is customized to require information input before a test, inserting a cartridge or Electronic Simulator initiates the test cycle (i.e., the analyzer does not need to be turned on first).

Infrared Communication Window
The Infrared Communication Window provides the analyzer with two-way communication to the Central Data Station via a Downloader, allows analyzerto-analyzer software updates, and allows analyzer-to-printer communication for printing.
Thermal Control
The analyzer contains a thermal control subsystem of thermistors and heating contact wires that controls the temperature of the sensors and fluids that come into contact with the sensors to 37°C. This subsystem is activated automatically when a cartridge containing tests which require thermal control at 37°C is inserted into the analyzer.
Barometric Pressure The analyzer contains a solid-state barometric pressure sensor, which determines Sensor the ambient atmospheric pressure used for the PO2 sensor calibration. Cartridge Test Cycle
An operator starts a cartridge test cycle either by inserting a cartridge into the analyzer or by selecting the i-STAT Cartridge option from the Test or Quality Tests Menu. The analyzer:

Customization
Analyzers can be customized for site-specific testing characteristics and requirements. A complete list of customizable parameters and their default values can be found in the Customization section. An analyzer can be customized via the keypad or via the Central Data Station. Items that cannot be customized via the analyzer’s keypad are operator lists, test strip lists, reference and action ranges, sample types and order of items on the Chart page. The Central Data Station’s Customization function can be used to create one customization profile for all analyzers or different profiles for different locations. When the Customization function is enabled, the profiles are transmitted to the analyzers when they are placed in a Downloader. Caution: If location specific customization profiles are created, analyzers should not be moved from one location to another unless they are re-customized for the new location. This is especially important if “CPB: Automatically Adjust” or “CPB: Do Not Adjust” is included in a location-based customization profile. The CPB function adjusts hematocrit and hemoglobin results for the dilutional affect of pump fluid during cardiopulmonary bypass surgery. If an analyzer customized for the CVOR as “CPB: Automatically Adjust” is used for patients who are not on the pump, hematocrit results will be reported falsely high. If an analyzer customized as “CPB: Do Not Adjust” is used for patients who are on the pump, hematocrit results will be reported falsely low. For details on the CPB function, see the Theory section of this manual. It is recommended that only one method, the Central Data Station or the keypad, be used to customize all analyzers within a site. If both methods are in use, and the Customization function is not disabled on the Central Data Station, any changes made to the profile of an analyzer via the keypad will be overwritten the next time the analyzer is placed in a Downloader. The customization profile of an analyzer is identified in the Customization option under the Administration Menu on the analyzer. DEFAULT0 indicates that the analyzer has factory settings. When an analyzer has been customized via the Central Data Station (CDS), the name assigned to the profile by the CDS is listed. If the default or CDS profile is changed on the analyzer, the profile is listed as 00000000.

LASER BARCODE SCANNER Laser Barcode Scanner
The barcode scanner is used to scan barcode information into the analyzer. Parameters that can be entered into the analyzer via the scanner include: operator and patient IDs, control and cartridge lot numbers, comment codes and patient chart data. The laser beam emerges from the recessed window on the front of the analyzer adjacent to the battery compartment. The laser beam automatically turns off after 3-4 seconds or after the barcode is successfully scanned.
Laser Specifications
The barcode scan engine is manufactured by Motorola Inc. or Opticon Inc. The scan engine contains a laser diode that emits laser radiation at a frequency of 650 nm. The scan engine outputs power (i.e., the power output of the engine if removed from this product) up to 1.9 mW in scanning mode. The scanner in this product only operates when the Scan key is pressed. The scan engine is intended to be used in a Class 2 device.
Warning Labels
Warning labels are shown below. The warning labels are located on the back or under-side of the analyzer, as shown. The location of the laser window from where the analyzer emits the laser beam is also shown below. Laser Barcode Scanner Window

Caution
Do not open the analyzer. The analyzer may only be opened by factory authorized service personnel. Class 2 laser radiation when open; DO NOT stare into the laser aperture or the laser beam, or point the laser beam at other persons. Use of controls, adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous laser radiation exposure. Class 2 laser scanners use a low power, visible light diode. As with any bright light source, such as the sun, the user should avoid staring directly into the laser beam. Momentary exposure to a Class 2 laser is not known to be harmful.
Barcode Label Quality
To ensure that printed barcode labels are reliably read by i-STAT handhelds, the best available printing methods and settings should be used. However, as specified in the Health Industry Bar Code (HIBC) Provider Applications Standard (ANSI/HIBC 1.3-2010), the quality of printed labels should meet the minimum grade level of 1.5.
Ambient Lighting from LED Light Sources
The analyzer’s barcode scanning functionality may experience interference when scanning barcodes under ambient light from an LED light source. This interference results in the analyzer being unable to scan a barcode at all (no beep acknowledgement). When scanning barcodes under ambient light from an LED light source, it is recommended that the barcode be shielded from the ambient light when attempting to scan the barcode.
Procedure
Before scanning, check to see what information is required by the displayed prompt. Hold the analyzer 3-9 inches (8 – 23 cm) from the barcode to be scanned. An angle of about 10 degrees from perpendicular is best. Hold the analyzer and place the object to be scanned on a flat surface or, place the analyzer on a flat surface and hold the object in front of the analyzer. Avoid accidentally scanning other nearby items. Avoid pointing the beam into anyone’s eyes. STEP

ACTION
1
Press and hold down the Scan key to start the barcode scanner. The analyzer emits a visible red beam.
2
Position the analyzer and barcode so the beam forms a red line that spans the entire barcode. Increasing distance between the barcode and analyzer lengthens the red line. The analyzer does not need to touch the barcode.
3
When the analyzer accepts the barcode, it will beep in acknowledgement and automatically turn off the beam. The beam will also turn off after 3-4 seconds.
4
View the data that was scanned by the analyzer and verify that it is correct.
5
Release the Scan key.
Note:
If the Scan key is released as soon as the beep is heard, the next prompt will be displayed and the information scanned will not be able to be viewed.

PROMPTS AND MESSAGES Prompts
Either before or during the testing cycle, the analyzer will display prompts that require an operator action or keypad entry, such as “Enter Operator ID.” Prompts are described in the manual when used. Some prompts require input before results are displayed. Prompts for the following information are mandatory:
Operator ID
Patient ID
Lot Numbers for Quality Tests
Cartridge Lot Number
Startup Messages
When the On/Off key is pressed the analyzer may display one or more startup messages. A startup warning message indicates an action that should be taken in the near future to maintain the analyzer in working condition. If the analyzer is customized to disable testing under certain conditions, a startup lockout message indicates the action that must be taken before testing is re-enabled.
Quality Check Messages
If the analyzer detects a problem during power on, a Quality Check message will be displayed indicating the action that must be taken before testing can begin. A Quality Check message will also be displayed and testing halted if the analyzer detects a problem during the test cycle. Startup messages and Quality Check messages are described in the Troubleshooting section of this manual. “Upload Required, Testing Disabled” is an example of a startup lockout message, “Battery Low ” is an example of a startup warning message, and “Unable to Position Sample” is an example of a quality check failure during the testing cycle. Note:
2-22
The “Cartridge Locked” or “Simulator Locked” prompt is always displayed when a cartridge or Electronic Simulator is inserted into the analyzer. Any attempt to remove a cartridge or Electronic Simulator before this prompt is removed from the screen may cause damage to the analyzer.

The unit-use disposable cartridge contains many of the subassemblies typically found in complex laboratory systems. Microfabricated thin film electrodes or sensors are assembled in unit-use cartridges containing:
•
calibrant solution in cartridges with sensors for blood gases, electrolytes, chemistries and hematocrit
• • • • • • •
analysis solution in immunoassay cartridges reagents in cartridges with sensors for coagulation sample handling system waste chamber an array of miniaturized sensors conductive pads to make electrical contact with the analyzer heating elements in cartridges requiring thermal control at 37 °C
See the Cartridge and Test Information Sheets for test-specific details. The following diagram shows how a typical blood gas/chemistry cartridge is constructed.

Sample Handling System
Sensors
Part
Function
Sensor Channel
The sensor channel directs the sample from the sample chamber to the sensors. An extension of this channel becomes a waste chamber to receive the calibrant solution, if applicable, as it is displaced by the sample.
Air Chamber
An air chamber is located in blood gas/electrolyte/ chemistry/hematocrit cartridges between the sample chamber and sensor channel. This creates an air segment between the calibrant solution, if applicable, and the sample to prevent the two from mixing. The size of the air segment is monitored by the analyzer.
Sample Chamber
The sample chamber includes the sample well and the channel leading from the well up to the fill mark. When filled, the sample chamber contains sufficient sample for testing. Sample volume and placement are monitored by the analyzer.
Bladder
The bladder (concealed by the label) is connected to the sample well. The analyzer presses on the bladder to displace calibrant solution, if applicable, from the sensors to move the sample from the sample chamber to the sensors or to mix sample and reagents.
Snap Closure (if applicable)
The snap closure creates an airtight seal necessary for proper fluid movement within the cartridge. The closure also ensures that calibrant, if applicable, and sample remain contained within the cartridge during the testing cycle and subsequent disposal. Immunoassay cartridges, such as cTnI, use a plastic slide enclosure clip.
Air Vent
An air vent on the underside of the cartridge, beyond the fluid front, allows the calibrant and the sample to flow forward, but not out of the cartridge.
Waste Chamber
A waste chamber (beneath the cartridge label) holds calibrant fluid after it has been used.
Contact Pads

Sensors
The sensors are electrodes microfabricated on silicon chips. Electrodes have chemically sensitive coatings such as ion-selective membranes and enzyme layers. In cartridges that perform coagulation tests, reagents, such as clot activators, are coated on the plastic above the sensors. Each sensor is connected to a contact pad by a signal line. The sensors respond to the calibrant solution, if applicable, and the sample by producing measurable signals related to analyte concentration. The performance characteristics for each sensor are described in the Cartridge and Test Information section. The section on theory describes the measurement principles.
Contact Pads
The contact pads conduct the signals generated by the sensors to the analyzer. In order to function properly, care must be exercised not to contaminate the contact pads during cartridge handling.
Heating Elements
All i-STAT cartridges require thermal control at 37 °C, and include heating elements on the underside of the sensor chips which are contacted and heated by the handheld’s thermal probes.
Art: 714365-01G
Rev. Date: 11-Mar-14
Standardization and Calibration
Standardization is the process by which a manufacturer establishes “true” values for representative samples. The sensors in the i-STAT cartridges are standardized against plasma methods used by major laboratory systems or, for blood gases, against tonometry. A multi-point calibration curve, the slope or sensitivity of which is defined by coefficients in the CLEW software, is derived for each sensor by this standardization process. These calibration curves are stable over many lots and only need to be adjusted if a change in a manufacturing process affects the curve or if the relationship between results on the i-STAT System and other major laboratory systems drifts. For the convenience of users, CLEW updates are scheduled two times a year. A one-point calibration is performed each time a cartridge requiring calibration is used. During the first part of the testing cycle, the calibrant solution is automatically released from its foil pack and is positioned over the sensors. The signals produced by the sensors’ responses to the calibrant solution are measured. This one-point calibration adjusts the offset of the stored calibration curve. Next, the analyzer automatically moves the sample over the sensors and the signals produced by the sensors’ responses to the sample are measured. While coefficients are used rather than graphic calibration curves, the calculation of the result is equivalent to reading the sample’s concentration from adjusted calibration curve.
Packaging
Each cartridge is sealed in a foil pouch or clear plastic portion pack for protection during storage. Labeling on the carton, box and pouch/portion pack identify:
• • • •
the panel name. the tests included in the panel. the lot number. the expiration date of the cartridge.
If the pouch/portion pack has been punctured, the cartridge should not be used. Room Temperature Storage

ELECTRONIC SIMULATOR
Overview
5
The Electronic Simulator, external and internal, is a quality control device for the analyzer’s cartridge signal-reading function. It simulates two levels of electrical signals that stress the analyzer’s cartridge signal detection function both below and above measurement ranges. While the analyzer performs internal electronic checks and calibration during each test cycle, the Electronic Simulator test provides an independent check on the ability of the analyzer to take accurate and sensitive measurements of voltage, current and resistance from the cartridge. An analyzer will pass or fail this electronic test depending on whether or not it measures these signals within limits specified in the analyzer software. The schedule for the Electronic Simulator can be customized to meet local, state, or national accreditation requirements. A reminder message for the operator to run the external simulator can be set by the number of hours or tests on the i-STAT 1 Analyzer. The schedule for the automatic internal Electronic Simulator can be set by the number of hours or tests on the i-STAT 1 Analyzer. For details and lockout options, see the Customization section of this manual.
Relative Humidity
The Electronic Simulator test will fail if high humidity interferes with the measurements. Therefore it is not necessary to record humidity where the analyzers are in use.
Internal Simulator
When the specified time has elapsed since the last Electronic Simulator test (internal or external), the internal test will automatically be performed when a cartridge is inserted before the sample is tested, adding about 20 seconds to the testing cycle.
External Simulator
The external Electronic Simulator is a stable electronic device, which is inserted into the cartridge port. The test cycle for the external Electronic Simulator is about 60 seconds. (The test cycle for the internal simulator is shorter because it shares the initial part of the test cycle with the cartridge.)

Even when the internal Electronic Simulator is enabled, an external Electronic Simulator is needed: •
to validate an internal simulator failure.
•
to reset the internal simulator schedule if a simulator test might interrupt testing, such as in a CVOR. Note: CVOR = Cardiovascular Operating Room
•
for on-demand testing at any time.
•
to perform the thermal probe check.
The external Electronic Simulator should be stored in the box in which it is shipped and the blue cap should be replaced after each use to protect the contact pads.
Stored Result
The results of the Simulator test are stored as a distinct record in the analyzer and can be transmitted to the Data Manager.
Use
Use of the Electronic Simulator is described further in the Quality Control section of this manual.
Cleaning the Simulator
Before cleaning, cover the connector area with the blue rubber boot. This will minimize the possibility of any cleaning fluid getting into the simulator housing, thus contaminating the internal circuitry. Clean the simulator with a gauze pad moistened with any of the cleaning agents approved for the analyzer, listed on page 17-1 of this manual. Rinse the simulator using another gauze pad moistened with water and dry. DO NOT IMMERSE THE SIMULATOR IN ANY FLUID, AT ANY TIME. If the connector itself is contaminated, the user should contact their Support Representative and arrange to have the simulator returned.

i-STAT 1 DOWNLOADER Function
6
The Downloader converts infrared transmissions of test records from the analyzer to electrical form and transmits (uploads) them to the Data Manager. The Downloader also converts electrical signals from the Central Data Station to infrared transmissions, which are transmitted (downloaded) to the analyzer. Transmission is automatic when an analyzer is placed in a Downloader. The Downloader comes in two formats: Downloader: A low-profile table-top unit with “arms” between which the analyzer is placed, and Downloader/Recharger (DR): a cradle that the analyzer is placed within. Both Downloader formats are available for use with direct wiring (serial format) or ethernet cabling (network format). Unless indicated otherwise, references to the Downloader apply to the Downloader/Recharger as well. The Downloader/Recharger can recharge a rechargeable battery in the analyzer. If the analyzer contains a rechargeable battery, the battery begins recharging automatically as soon as the analyzer is placed in the Downloader/Recharger. The Downloader/Recharger also has a compartment for recharging a rechargeable battery outside the analyzer.
