i-STAT Cartridges

Unlike many systems, the i-STAT does not have a “test kit”.. it uses multiple, single use cartridges on a single analyzer. Click here to view the attached chart as it shows each cartridge, and the analytes on each cartridge.

Time to result for most tests is approx. 2 minutes. Coagulation test times will vary based on the patient, and cardiac tests are typically 10 minutes to result.
