Explanation
69
Cartridge Type Not
Recognized
/ Use
Another Cartridge
This code could be due to use of a cartridge type that is not
compatible with the version of software in the analyzer, or the use
of expired cartridges. Check the cartridge expiration date on the
cartridge box or pouch. If the cartridges have not expired, and if a
new cartridge type is being run, contact i-STAT Technical Services
or your local support organization for a software update.
When running coagulation cartridges, Code 69 may be caused by
poor contact between the analyzer pins and the cartridge chip.
This can sometimes be corrected by conditioning the pins in the
analyzer using the ceramic conditioning cartridge. The specific
conditioning procedure is described at the end of this bulletin.
During runs using cartridges in barcoded packaging, this code
will be displayed if incorrect information is entered in response
to the prompt “Enter or Scan Cartridge Lot Number”.
The instrument expects the barcode on the back of the
individual cartridge pouch to be scanned.
For immunoassay cartridges, the instrument will not accept
keypad entries of the cartridge lot number nor a scan of the
barcode on the cartridge box.
This condition may be due to an aberrant cartridge. However,
if the condition occurs repeatedly on one analyzer, the analyzer
may need repair. Contact i-STAT Technical Services or your local
support organization for further assistance.
Codes in the range of 120 to 138 and 140 to 151 indicate a failure during an immuno or barcoded pouch
cartridge cycle. In most cases, the cartridge is spent and another cartridge must be used. Only the
i-STAT 1 Analyzer produces these codes, as the Portable Clinical Analyzer does not support immuno
cycles.

Cartridge Error /
Use
Another Cartridge
These codes indicate a problem with the movement of the
analysis fluid during the cartridge run. Try another cartridge.
123
Cartridge Error /
Use
Another Cartridge
The quality control during the cartridge run failed to verify the
presence of active immuno reagents. Try another cartridge.
126
Cartridge Error /
Use
Another Cartridge
The quality control during the cartridge run failed to verify the
integrity of the analysis fluid. However, this code can also be
related to poor electrical connection between the i-STAT 1
Analyzer and the cartridge. This can sometimes be corrected
by conditioning the pins in the analyzer using the ceramic
conditioning cartridge. The specific conditioning procedure is
described at the end of this bulletin.
Note:
If you do not have a ceramic conditioning cartridge, please
contact i-STAT Technical Support at 1-800-366-8020, option 1.
Codes 50 and 128 are sometimes related to electrical connection
as well. If you experience multiple occurrences of these 3 codes
(50, 126, and 128) in a short period of time, consider returning the
analyzer for replacement.
127
Cartridge Error /
Use
Another Cartridge
A wet sensor was detected before the initial sample movement.
Possible overfilled or used cartridge. Try another cartridge.
