Abbott i-STAT 1 Handheld Blood Analyzer — Product Description
The Abbott i-STAT 1 Handheld Blood Analyzer is a point-of-care testing (POCT) platform designed to deliver lab-quality diagnostic results in minutes, right at the patient’s side. Using single-use i-STAT test cartridges with embedded biosensors, clinicians can run a broad test menu on a single portable device—helping streamline workflows, reduce handoffs, and support faster, more informed decision-making.
Testing is simple and efficient: apply just 2–3 drops of whole blood, follow the on-device guidance, and obtain accurate results in ~2 minutes for most assays. Connectivity options enable integration with data management systems such as Abbott Info HQ® or AEGISPOC™ to interface with LIS/EMR, manage operators and devices, and incorporate quality controls and notes (e.g., STATNotes) into your information systems.
