Analyzers (New, Repaired and Replacement) will be delivered with CLEW
software and application software installed. Upon receipt of analyzer, check the
expiration date of the CLEW software and the version of the application software
by navigating to More Options > Instrument Status.
Software updates to the i-STAT Alinity v Analyzer are delivered twice a year. Each
software update contains two elements in a single package: CLEW software and
application software.
These updates may be downloaded and installed either by a network connection
to the Abbott Managed Cloud or from the Abaxis Website via a USB memory
device.
• Software update and installation using USB memory device via Base Station is a
two-step process. It requires downloading the software from the Abaxis website
onto a USB memory device, and then downloading and installing the software
onto the analyzer via the Base Station.
• Software update and installation via Abbott Managed Cloud with a wired or
wireless network connection requires the operator to check for software update
using the analyzer, and then initiate the software download onto the analyzer.
Once the analyzer has received the software, an install confirmation will be
displayed. The operator can choose to install the software at a later time. If the
operator cancels the install confirmation, the analyzer will display an icon on the
home screen indicating the software is available for installation. The software icon
will display until installation is complete.
• It is recommended that Electronic Simulator Test be completed immediately
following a software update. This is not required, select Exit Alerts to resume
normal operation of the analyzer.
