Ensure Proper Cartridge Storage
A. Ensure that refrigerator storage conditions for stored cartridges are between
2˚C – 8˚C (35˚F – 46˚F).
B. Ensure that cartridges are not exposed to temperatures exceeding 30˚C (86˚F).
C. Ensure that cartridges are not used after the expiration date printed on the individual
package and box.
D. Ensure that cartridges are not outside the refrigerator for longer than the time frame
indicated on the cartridge box.
E. Ensure that a cartridge is used immediately after it is removed from its package.
F. Ensure that a cartridge taken from refrigerated storage is allowed to stand in its
package at room temperature for 5 minutes before use, or that a box of cartridges
stands at room temperature for one hour before use.
5
Ensure Thermal Probe Check is Performed
Ensure the thermal probe check is performed every 6 months on each handheld reader.
This check can be performed in conjunction with the analyzer software updates.
6
Train Staff on Avoidance of Pre- and Post-analytical Errors
Ensure that users are trained to avoid pre‑analytical errors such as those associated with
sample collection, delays in testing, inadequate sample mixing, and post‑analytical errors
(results reporting and communication).
7
Update Software then Check with External Simulator
Update the i‑STAT System software as provided by Abbott Point of Care (APOC). Check the
handheld with the external Electrical Simulator after software updates.
The thermal probe reading can also be taken from this check.

For the i‑STAT waived test cartridges, in addition to the MQSI above, the activities listed below must be
conducted. These activities were required by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in order for APOC to

cartridges are performing properly.

appropriate i‑STAT level control. Select the one cartridge to be tested using the following
order: CHEM8+, 6+, Crea, EC4+, G, E3+. If the cartridge being tested is a:
•
CHEM8+ Cartridges: use CHEM8+ or TriControls Level 1 control
