1. Barcode Scanning
How does this feature work? Instead of users entering Operator and Patient IDs manually using the
analyzer keypad, the i-STAT 1 Analyzer also accepts scanned Operator and Patient ID information from 6
valid barcode formats.
What benefits does using barcode scanning provide?
• Using barcodes is the single most effective method of eliminating ID entry errors in the i-STAT
System.
• It eliminates manual entry related errors (i.e. transposed numbers, repeated numbers, etc…).
• It provides faster ID entry.
• Customizing an analyzer to only accept a specific barcode type helps prevent users from
scanning the wrong barcode type for Patient and/or Operator ID entry.
2. Use an Operator List
How does this feature work? Using an Operator List allows the Point of Care Coordinator (POCC) to
maintain a list of up to 4000 operators. Each operator in the list can be certified for i-STAT and/or PCx
Glucose Strip testing for a set time period defined by the POCC. Once the operator list is created, it is then
uploaded to each analyzer.
What benefits does using an Operator List provide?
• It prevents uncertified or untrained operators from running tests. If the Operator List does NOT
contain the ID entered by the user or if the operator is not certified, the user can be warned or
locked-out from running a test.
3. Exclude Operator IDs From Analyzer Printout
How does this feature work? Enabling this feature will exclude the operator ID from all Analyzer printouts.
What benefits does this feature provide? Disabling the printing of operator IDs can help prevent
uncertified operators from learning the IDs of certified operators and using those ID numbers for Analyzer
testing.
4. Set Max/Min ID Length
How does this feature work? The i-STAT System provides the ability for the POCC to set minimum and
maximum ID lengths. The Default Choice settings for the Operator and Patient ID lengths for each i-STAT
Analyzer type are described below:
