This Technical Bulletin contains the information needed to select the K

EDTA or K
3
EDTA customization
option for reporting hematocrit results on the i-STAT System.
Hematocrit calibration
The reference method for hematocrit is the microhematocrit (MH) method. All instruments measuring
hematocrit are expected to be traceable, or calibrated, to this reference method.

anticoagulant sample collection tubes. K
3
EDTA anticoagulant shrinks red blood cells relative to K
2
EDTA
anticoagulant, causing microhematocrit results from K
3
EDTA samples (MH-K
3
EDTA) to be lower by
approximately 2 – 4% than results from K
2
EDTA samples (MH-K
2
EDTA).

Consequently, instruments calibrated to MH-K
3
EDTA report lower hematocrit results than analyzers
calibrated to MH-K
2
EDTA.

eDta customization settings on tHe i-stat
system
i-STAT provides two customization settings for reporting hematocrit results: The “K
3
EDTA” customization
reports hematocrit results traceable to MH-K
3
EDTA. The “K
2
EDTA” customization reports hematocrit results
traceable to MH-K
2
EDTA.
For best agreement of i-STAT and hematology analyzer hematocrit results, the i-STAT customization
setting is selected according to the calibration of the comparative hematology analyzer (MH-K
2
EDTA or
MH-K
3
EDTA).
When this Technical Bulletin was first released, the manufacturers of the Advia
®
, Cell-Dyn
®
, Coulter
®
, and
Sysmex
®
, hematology analyzers used samples collected in K
3
EDTA for the purpose of calibrating their
systems to reference methods. The manufacturers of Advia, Cell-Dyn and Sysmex now use samples
collected in K
2
EDTA for the purpose of calibrating their systems to reference methods. Therefore, for best
agreement between these analyzers and the i-STAT System, the K
2
EDTA customization setting should be
selected. (Note: The default setting on the i-STAT System is K
3
EDTA.)
