Description
A SINGLE, INTEGRATED POINT-OF-CARE TESTING SOLUTION
The i-STAT cardiac troponin I (cTnI) test is an in vitro diagnostic test for the quantitative measurement of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) in whole blood or plasma. Measurements of cardiac troponin I are used in the diagnosis and treatment of myocardial infarction and as an aid in the risk stratification of patients with acute coronary syndromes with respect to their relative risk of mortality.
The i-STAT cTnI cartridge meets the ACC/AHA guideline of 60-minute turnaround time 98% of the time, compared with 53% for the central lab.
Provides lab-quality results which can improve adoption of serial cardiac marker testing.
The 2012 Third Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction recognizes troponin as the biomarker of choice.
Use of bedside testing in the ED has been shown to reduce:
time to anti-ischemic therapy by approximately 45 minutes
time to discharge by 24 minutes
ED length of stay by 1.9 hours
