Weighing just 18 ounces, the intuitive analyzer needs only two or three drops of blood to provide lab quality results. The i-STAT System can aide the physician in accelerating patient care decision making by quickly providing patient results that can be acted upon. I-STAT 1 Wireless is a fully integrated system with a comprehensive test menu that enhances bedside testing workflow. The company offers the largest menu of diagnostic tests in a handheld platform and is used in nearly 2,000 hospitals in the U.S. The i-STAT 1 Wireless is the latest innovation from Abbott Point of Care, the U.S. It is also is compatible with point-of-care data management systems used with earlier versions of the i-STAT System. The i-STAT 1 Wireless handheld is certified for compatibility with existing wireless networks. By sharing these test results via a hospital's existing wireless network, caregivers have rapid access to information that can help determine if a patient is having a heart attack. This helps health care providers maintain compliance with testing guidelines from the American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association, which call for a turnaround time of less than 60 minutes. With the 10-minute i-STAT cardiac troponin test cartridge, for example, emergency department staffs can test, transmit and treat from the bedside. "With wireless, physicians can receive immediate test information in the electronic medical record, enabling them to act quickly when a patient's clinical status is rapidly changing," Arnsdorff said. Eliminating back-and-forth movement from the bedside to a desktop transmission terminal somewhere in the department gives staff the ability to better focus on the patient.
The handheld analyzer can potentially save precious time by allowing caregivers to perform critical tests at the bedside and then transmit test results immediately so they can be reviewed by physicians anywhere they have access to electronic records. "By empowering nurses to stay at the bedside, the new i-STAT 1 Wireless supports a patient-focused approach to treatment, allowing for expedited decision making that helps minimize time to treatment." "With i-STAT 1 Wireless, caregivers are able to share critical test information electronically without leaving the patient's bedside," said Greg Arnsdorff, head of Abbott's point of care business. The new i-STAT 1 Wireless handheld will allow real time transmission of diagnostic test results generated by i-STAT 1 directly from the patient bedside. Food and Drug Administration to begin marketing the i-STAT® 1 Wireless handheld, a new wireless version of the i-STAT® point of care testing system that is widely used in hospitals, emergency rooms and physicians' offices. PRINCETON, N.J., Ma- Abbott announced today it has received clearance from the U.S. More from the company press release below: "With wireless, physicians can receive immediate test information in the electronic medical record, enabling them to act quickly when a patient's clinical status is rapidly changing," Arnsdorff stated.Ībbott estimates that some 50,000 i-STAT devices are in use worldwide and they process about 100 million test cartridges annually. "With i-STAT 1 Wireless, caregivers are able to share critical test information electronically without leaving the patient's bedside," Greg Arnsdorff, head of Abbott's point of care business, stated in the company's press release. The wireless model improves upon the legacy wired i-STAT device by automatically transmitting readings to a central computer without necessitating that a physician synch with the device, according to MedGadget.

The FDA has cleared more than a dozen software apps for mobile devices over the years including one this year: Mobile MIM, which just announced that Health Canada has cleared it for use in that country.Ībbott's device, however, is the newest connected medical handheld to join the growing list of FDA cleared medical tools. Ascom, Monica Healthcare and Mobisante have each received a 510(k) clearance this year for a connected medical device. The FDA cleared Abbott's i-STAT 1 Wireless point-of-care blood analyzer last week, marking the fourth wireless-enabled medical device to receive FDA clearance so far this year.
